Nineteenstudents from different STEM majors were recruited from both community colleges and 4-yruniversities, including 16 Hispanic students. The students were divided into four teams. Eachteam worked together to complete a research project in three weeks with the guidance of afaculty member and a graduate student. Each team met at least once a day and completed twoprogress presentations, one final project presentation, and a written project report. In addition

We wanted the high school studentsto explore engineering careers, discover typical salaries for several disciplines, determine whatlevel degree they would need, costs, what courses they should concentrate on in high school, etc.The students were then required to write a paper answering specific questions, and then presenttheir findings to at least two classes at the high school. We chose the seven best papers, andinvited the authors (with their families and teachers) to the university to present their paper toseveral faculty members, parents, teachers, and others in the audience.

education research community in the U.S. has specified the nature of instructionalstrategies in retaining students in STEM-related courses, with a focus on an integrated STEMcurriculum designed to improve non-cognitive factors, such as interest, while developingpositive attitudes towards STEM [5][6][7]. Interests and attitudes in science develop early in astudent’s life, and it is important to develop these attitudes as they are motivators towardspursuing STEM fields and careers [8] [9]. More recently, the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) 2017 report on supporting student’s college success hashighlighted the importance of intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies and the evolvingneed for labor market recruits to

task is encapsulated by ABET Criterion 5 which states that an effective team includes“members [who] together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” (2023). For the most part, this education inpractice consists of combining students into groups and letting them explore teamwork dynamicsthrough self-determination (i.e., figuring it out as they go). This sort of situational, experientialeducation mimics to some extent what happens in the engineering workplace, where individualswith unique skill sets are tasked with working together to achieve a common goal. However, theoutcomes of this educational approach can be highly variable, resulting in students who have

We were initially attracted to the work of Eliyahu Goldratt through two of his novels, TheGoal4 and It’s Not Luck5. Both books describe ill-defined problems in an interesting engineeringcontext that result from personality differences as well as organizational deficiencies.Underlying both plots is rational, but human-centered, planning process known as the theory ofconstraints.

One engagement protocol that mixesbest practices from Adams’ work and is similar to the liberative ones employed by Riley is usedby one faculty member who requires all students to stand while discussing an element of designfrom the project, and the next speaker must amplify the previous student’s statement in terms ofhis own. Students in this scenario must engage

TransitionAbstractPeer mentoring has been shown to be an effective means of improving the retention of women inengineering, but few studies have explored the impact of participation on the development of theleadership abilities of undergraduate women. Transitioning to a leadership mentality as a peermentor has the potential to foster self-efficacy in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) and socially stable academic relationships that may be replicated in post-graduate study and/or the workplace. This one-year study explored the experiences of junior andsenior female students in STEM majors (N=11) serving as mentors to first-year students in theWomen in Science and Engineering Honors Program (WISE) at Stony Brook University, a largeresearch
