Participate in a National Study this November!

Description:
The University of Minnesota is conducting in an important national study that asks students about what encourages them to choose and persist in science, math, engineering, and computer science majors, and what influences their decisions to switch away from these majors.

They would like to hear students’ stories about their experiences in science, math, engineering, and computer science classes. Students may also be invited to fill out an online survey about their experiences in an introductory science, technology, engineering or mathematics course they have just taken.

Students who volunteer are offered $20 for participating in an interview or focus group. The study runs here at Maryland from November 4th to 15th.

If you receive an e-mail from the University of Maryland, an instructor, or researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison or University of Colorado-Boulder inviting you to participate in an interview or focus group, please accept. Your input will help shape the current nationwide efforts aimed at enhancing the education of the next generation’s scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.
