To ensure the success of the INFEWS Scholar program and overall student experience, assessment and evaluation will be regularly conducted by Burd’s Eye View, an independent consulting firm in Austin that specializes in STEM educational evaluation.
The design of the assessment and evaluation is formative in that it provides ongoing, timely feedback about strategies and outcomes that Trainees, project staff, and participating universities can use to make improvements. The five cornerstones of coursework, mentoring, internships, public service and professional development will be evaluated.
