Excerpt

This article aims to describe the implementation, evaluation, and outcomes associated with a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research fellow experience at an historically Black college and university (HBCU) funded by the National Science Foundation. This experience, Polymer Research, was part of a multipronged approach for infusing polymers into the General and Physical Chemistry curricula. After briefly reviewing the literature on broadening participation in STEM and undergraduate research …
