This BRIGE engineering education research project will investigate research mentoring of underrepresented minority students. It will establish best practices and determine the students' perceptions of the effectiveness of these practices with a combination of qualitative and quantitative data and methods. Narrative analysis of critical incidents, structured interviews, and survey questions will be used. Currently there is very little definitive empirical information on mentoring best practices, and the results of this work could support or dispute currently accepted methods of mentoring and research supervision. The results will provide new data and knowledge that will significantly advance understanding of effective research mentoring practices for underrepresented minority populations. This information can be of great value in the design and implementation of mentoring programs focused on broadening participation and improving success and retention of underrepresented student in STEM fields.

bridge工程教育研究项目将调查未被充分代表的少数民族学生的研究指导。它将建立最佳实践，并确定学生对这些实践的有效性的看法，结合定性和定量数据和方法。将使用关键事件的叙述性分析、结构化访谈和调查问题。目前，关于指导最佳实践的明确经验信息非常少，这项工作的结果可能支持或争议目前接受的指导和研究监督方法。研究结果将提供新的数据和知识，这将大大促进对未被充分代表的少数民族群体有效的研究指导实践的理解。这些信息对于指导计划的设计和实施具有重要价值，该计划的重点是扩大STEM领域中代表性不足的学生的参与，提高他们的成功率和保留率。
