ResearchYOU! is a co-curricular research experience designed to improve undergraduate student research skills at a Hispanic-serving institution and provide research mentoring for undergraduate students who may not typically have access to social science research experiences. This multi-faculty capacity-building research experience is composed of three components: (1) learning and development of research skills through virtual synchronous workshops, (2) performing research tasks under the mentorship of faculty members, and (3) submission of a research poster presentation for the University Undergraduate Research Day. In this paper, we describe the inaugural year of the program and present preliminary data that point to initial impacts of the program. [For the full proceedings, see ED631897.]

The article examines characteristics of students who are proficient in specific time management skills and whether these students related to student use of course design features. It also discusses some of the specific time management strategies that are utilized by students. Faculty designing online courses should understand the nature of time management in an academic setting.

The article discusses research which explored the time management course features that engineering students use most often, along with those that they perceive to be the most beneficial. Course elements identified include orientation materials, course calendar and chapter study guides. Topics covered include the course features that enhance the student's ability to manager their time and ways that instructors can use to design courses that will have an impact on student time management skills.
