. In order to break down thefaculty/staff/student barrier, each student finds professors and staff members whose interests alignwith their passions. Experienced entrepreneurs, serving as “Entrepreneurs or Innovators InResidence” to the college play a key role, enabling fellows to see the links between their academicpursuits and their entrepreneurial passions. This personal coaching has been extremely effectiveover the first three years of the fellowship program, kick-starting students into high levels ofengagement and ownership in charting their path. Students also meet with entrepreneurial peerleaders (typically junior or senior level undergraduate fellows) regularly to help navigate collegelife.During the winter interim, fellows start an

Without these, faculty members may likely remain in their silos [8]. Therefore,experiences gained from multidisciplinary collaborations such as the Stitt Scholars Program mustbe shared among the broader academic community.

Selectedfrom nearly sixty applicants, twenty-four students from more than twenty area high schools tookpart, making it a wide-reaching outreach program. Throughout the 3.5 day non-residentialprogram, participants worked with department faculty and graduate students to explore the fieldof materials science and engineering (MSE), the possibilities available at this university, and theopportunities available for MSE graduates. Students also worked in teams to design and buildmodel rockets from high-tech composite materials, which were launched on the last day. Thelogistics of

The students are a vital portion of the raw materials tothis process and issues that affect their quantity and quality also affect the resulting number ofdegree-holders. Studying this process in order to identify significant factors that affect theproduction of degree-holders could provide a guide towards improving the process. Amethodology to test the effect of these factors could aid in designing an intervention program toencourage and assist more students in pursuing a college degree in STEM.Developing such a methodology starts with examining the work of education researchers whohave explored the motivations of students and the

Another is a mechanism that takes a backpack or briefcase from theside of a power wheelchair to the back of the chair. This is helpful, because with the backpackon the side of the chair, it can’t fit through doors. The third is a folding writing table forwheelchairs.

Taking an individualistic approach, Eccles’ (1994)17 Expectancy-Value Model ofAchievement suggests that academic and occupation related decisions are guided by one’sexpectations for success and the value one places on a particular activity. Research has shownthat women are less inclined to pursue male-dominated careers because they perceive thoseoccupations to be misaligned with their values18–20. Frome, et al.

This was invented at a timewhen it was believed that race determined lung capacity, so the device was built with a racecorrection factor.
