ABSTRACT

The Lucile B. Kaufman Scholars program is designed to encourage undergraduate women in engineering to pursue graduate degrees in engineering. The program will include 20 nominees and 8 alternates with junior status in engineering. The program builds on two components: professional development and community building. The professional development component includes an 8 - week summer research experience, culminating in a formal research symposia. The community building component includes mentoring and networking events designed to create a supportive community environment for participants. Mentors will also participate in diversity training workshops. Students completing academic year activities in the program are awarded the title Lucile B. Kaufman Scholar," receive a $500.00 scholarship, and participate in the summer research experience, for which they receive a $1500 stipend. Participant scholars achievements will be compared to a comparative cadre of non-participant, but similarly motivated students
