the impact of theproject. This study will help others in planning similar experiences for engineering undergraduatestudents.The purpose of this REU Site was to encourage talented undergraduates to enroll in graduate school byexposing them to research and increasing their interest in graduate research. In this case study, first thebasic approach adopted to plan the REU Site and associated activities are presented in its first section,followed by a detailed description of the projects executed. In the end, evaluation proceduresused, the lessons learned, and the outcomes from the whole experience are summarized. One of thestudents commented on the technical writing skill that he gained from the REU experience and felt thatwas very useful in his

of key characteristics and componentsincluding modeling best practice and opportunities to collaborate. Professional development forteachers is considered a key vehicle for educational reform and improving classroominstructional practice [1], [2]. Professional development is integral to increasing teachersknowledge and skills, and to learning effective application of the skills in the classroom. Theplanning of professional development programs that can lead to desired teaching practices is nota simple process [3]. Too often, short term teacher training institutes and after school workshopsare seen as ends in themselves. These "one shot" approaches to staff development may fail toresult in lasting changes in teaching behavior because teachers

Modeling and Design, Design of Experiments (DOE), Systems and Reliability Engineering, Lean Practices and Techniques, and Process Simulations. Aside from being a Professor in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering Department at Baltimore City Community College (BCCC), Marc is the team lead in MSU’s Liquid Propellant Rocket Subtask Team, where he reviews and designs the essential rocket components such as the nose cone and all the way to the rocket’s boat tail. In addition, he is also responsible for leading diverse and highly motivated engineering students in the RockOn program, where they implement and test a rocket payload that can measure and record the acceleration, humidity, pressure, temperature, and radiation
