continue to expand upon it to create additional presentation- or publication-worthy material. • Individuals not continuing with research made this decision due to work or other significant time commitments but had a universal interest in renewing research activity in the future. • Nine significant benefits of the project emerged (listed from most frequently noted across all applicable questions to least frequently stated) o a. Impact on perspective relevant to and plans for the future. o b. Encouragement toward involvement with academics and research. o c. Confirming interests and intentions related to research, careers, and degrees. o d. Learning achieved through
contribution to their grade. Just asthe results of Table 1 reveal, it seems solid policy is to afford the student with a variety of waysto receive help; the web-based system described being one which is readily scaled to largeclasses and transferable to other institutions.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation throughGrant 1504880.Bibliography[1] Dennis H.

Development Process and Sample ContentAs mentioned earlier, there were two short courses offered as a part of the ATE grant. Thecourse development process involved multiple steps as outlined below. First, an initial outline fora two and half day course was prepared and presented at the industry advisory board (IAB)meeting of Manufacturing Center of Excellence at HCC. While IAB members liked the overallcontent, it was suggested that the course be reduced to two-day from two and half-day. FurtherIAB members also suggested to prepare more focused courses on a specific topic rather than ageneral topic. In the next step, the initial general manufacturing topics were divided into twoshort courses focused on: a) manufacturing quality and b) manufacturing

their (a) identity as engineers, (b) valuing of engineering as a profession, and (c)feelings of self-efficacy. Argued here is the notion that students who are able identify importantneeds, and are imbued with the knowledge and design skills to develop a solution to the need,will feel more capable as engineers (self-efficacy), begin to see themselves as engineers(engineering identity), and increasingly value engineering as an important set of skills, body ofknowledge, and career choice. This idea is all important in view of other research suggestingthat some engineering education venues are advancing an ecology of social detachment, withever decreasing regard for social concerns [3].

The impact the financial assistance provided variedbased on the students' financial situation. Our goal was to ease the stress that the financials wereinstilling in the student.To measure the effectiveness of easing financial stress we asked our students in the ASPIREEvaluation Survey whether the ASPIRE scholarship allowed them to: a) reduce the number of hours worked (29% of students said yes) b) reduce the amount of loans taken out (84% said yes) c) reduce their family's financial contribution (66% said yes) d) had no financial impact (0% said yes)The results of the survey did show that the ASPIRE

All thisinformation is used to demonstrate to undergraduate students the effects of micro-scale structurein metallic materials on their macro-scale mechanical properties and failure mechanisms. Forexample, the comparison of the grain structure of wrought and 3D printer parts demonstrates thestructure-processing relationships in metal processing.

After developing our protocol, we pilot tested the interview protocol with people whomet the study’s criteria for inclusion. We conducted pilot interviews with two students who menthe study inclusion criteria, that they identified as LGBTQ in some way and were in a STEMmajor. Pilot testing encompassed running the interview protocol with students, noting how theyrespond to the questions and if their responses a) focused on the content that our interviews weredesigned to focus on and b) reflected that they share a similar understanding of the question aswe do. We also invited pilot participants to reflect back to us their feedback on how questionswere asked as well as questions they expected to be asked based on the topic of the study. Now
