AB  - Our paper reports the self-evaluation of a research-based course taught in the School of Engineering at the University of Bridgeport.
The University of Bridgeport received funding from the NSF HSI program in 2022. The project, called Project Achieve, aims to foster, engage and retain underserved and underrepresented undergraduate men and women, with particular emphasis given to Hispanic students in engineering (ENG) and computer science (CS) majors. 
As a part of the project, a multi-disciplinary effort among faculty in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering and computer science designed an undergraduate course, Introduction to Scientific Research, based on the evidence-based Affinity Research Group (ARG) model, one of the signature models in the CAHSI Network. This 2-credit yearlong course offers undergraduate engineering and computer science students an opportunity to participate in authentic research experiences with faculty and graduate students. It has two components as lecture and research activities. Students spend two to four hours per week working on research projects as a team. The course is cross-listed as CPEG/CPSC/ELEG/ MEEG 295A and 295B Introduction to Scientific Research Challenges. The course objectives are (1) To identify real-world problems and survey their broader impacts, (2) To brainstorm possible solutions to real-world research problems, (3) To apply the scientific method while solving a real-world research problem, (4) To develop basic laboratory skills and safety procedures relevant to the project, (5) To communicate scientific information in oral formats effectively, (6) To collaborate effectively with a team to solve a scientific problem. The paper presents the faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students' feedback and experiences as the preliminary outcomes while providing the details of the course design and its implementation in the engineering curricula.
