By providing a groupenvironment, shared objective, and opportunity to work through unforeseen challenges,out-of-class activities offer conditions under which engineering students can develop as leaders.As an example, one recent study found design competition teams contributed to engineeringstudents leadership identity development through peer coaching, task management, anddecision-making [21]. Biomedical engineering students in a co-curricular design experience alsoreported the value of the out-of-class activities in providing exposure to leadership skills andpositions [22].

When asked to reflect upon their summer researchexperience, students fondly described their experience. Their eyes opened up to the many diversebackgrounds of their peers and professionals. During the outreach project, many students feltuncomfortable interacting with strangers and networking. However, participating in this outreachproject served to encourage many students to continue pursuing their chosen career path. Thispaper describes the outreach project and its impact on REU students in more detail.The purposes of the paper are as follows:1. To provide detailed information on the integration of the outreach

Forinstance, lab-based research shows that students learn more deeply when studying in preparationto teach content to another student than they do when preparing for a written exam [13], [14], andthat explaining on video can be a more effective review technique than writing explanations orrestudying [15]. Other research shows that studying in preparation for a high-stakes video-basedexam can cause students to strategize their learning in ways that overcome poor instructionaldesign, compared to a low-stakes lab-based assessment [16].Oral exams and traditional assessments in the classroomThe affordances

When PBL was applied in an undergraduate electrical engineering course, it was found toresult in significantly higher conceptual understanding compared to the traditional lecture method[14].
