However, the stairs can only be cleaned by a union worker but none are immediately available to help. Salaried workers have been cited and penalized for assisting with union work in the past, so you are apprehensive to do the job yourself. What should you do? If the penalty came in the form of a fine, would your decision change if the fine as $50, $500, $5,000? Are you liable if you do nothing?The topics that faculty brought to the team were scenarios that the student may encounter in theearly years of their engineering career or typical ethical issues commonly encountered by young

There is a struggle and a series of complications and the learning comes from working through these issues. The main struggle of a STEP Fellow is the coordination of minds.

However, as we continued to run thegroups, we began to see that they were not just providing an alternative pathway, they were alsohelping to support student entry into undergraduate research experiences.There were a few reasons for this. First, the lightweight nature of the reading groups made it aneasy entry point for busy students. Once they joined, they were able to learn about research beingactively worked on by faculty members and begin to understand the nature of research. Second,the relational nature of the groups also meant that they often built connections with otherstudents who were in research labs which (we believe) helped them to understand what it wouldlook like and which encouraged them to
