INT2012 ST: STEM Identity and Community

This one-credit seminar is designed for students participating in the AIE STEMPLOS scholarship program with primary objectives to: teach and support awareness of careers in STEM fields; develop and improve self and professional soft skills; and facilitate faculty and peer mentorship. This course will meet weekly to engage in a variety of activities designed to promote group cohesion and to forward a student’s STEM identity. The course will augment the students’ work with Career Connections, in their trips, conference attendance and student presentations. Students will be expected to participate in these cohort gatherings every semester; expectations for participation, engagement, and leadership will be adapted and elevated based on their seniority in the program leading to student project management and peer mentorship.
