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, with internships, and with mentors by coordinating guest speakers, field trips, conference attendance, and student presentations. AIE STEMPLOS students will be expected to participate in this course every semester they are a scholarship recipient. Expectations for participation, engagement, peer mentorship, and leadership will be adapted and elevated based on student seniority in the program. Credits: 1.000
