Abstract
An affinity research group is a comprehensive model for the creation and maintenance of dynamic, productive, and inclusive research groups in engineering and computing. The model is comprised of a set of fundamental principles and effective practices that emphasize the conscious development of studentspsila domain knowledge as well as research and professional skills. This workshop introduces the model and engages the participants in exercises that illustrate the use of the model.
