This book is a guide for mentors on how to recruit, mentor, and
support students through a student research experience in science,
technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) fields.
Being a successful research mentor benefits from the self-awareness
and planning, strategies and skills that Success in Mentoring your
Student Researchers can help you build and develop. These are
useful for mentors working with any students, but especially those
who have been minoritized in STEMM or are the first in their family
to attend college. The first part of the book introduces mentoring
undergraduates and how it differs from traditional classroom
instruction, active learning, and flipped classrooms; mentoring is
collaboratively teaching research while doing research. A mentored
undergraduate research experience also helps your mentees develop
the skills necessary to be successful scientists and become part of
STEMM communities. The central part of the book presents the
undergraduate research experience as a "three-legged stool" whose
legs-research, education, and community-each have unique values in
advancing your mentees' path in STEMM and all of which require
setting, communicating, and realizing expectations for
"success"--your mentees' and your own. The last part of the book
looks beyond the research experience, from evaluating your success
as a mentor through helping your mentees to continue to develop and
grow their STEMM careers and become mentors themselves. This book
is the mentor's companion to the authors' book for students,
"Success in Navigating your Student Research Experience: Moving
Forward in STEMM."
This book is a complete guide for students on how to make the most
of intensive, experiential research outside a college classroom.
Engaging in research as an undergraduate can lead to successful and
rewarding careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics,
and medicine (STEMM). Being successful in an undergraduate research
experience benefits from the self-awareness and planning,
strategies and skills that Success in Navigating your Student
Research Experience can help you build and develop. The first part
of this book describes strategies and processes for finding,
applying, and preparing for an undergraduate research experience
that matches your own needs and interests. These strategies are
useful for any student, but are particularly helpful for
individuals who have been minoritized in STEMM or are the first in
their family to attend college. The central part of the book
presents the undergraduate research experience as a "three-legged
stool" whose legs-research, education, and community-each have
unique values in advancing your path in STEMM. The last part of the
book illustrates the many options for continuing and expanding your
path in research. These range from communicating results to
colleagues to moving forward with graduate studies and careers in
STEMM, in which you can become a mentor to the next generation of
students. This book is the student's companion to the authors' book
for mentors, "Success in Mentoring your Student Researchers: Moving
STEMM Forward."
