did undergraduate students face during a research course, and how did they overcome these challenges to successfully complete their project? Sub-Question 3 (Self-Reflection): What impact did the research course have on undergraduate students' skills and knowledge and interest in research?3. BackgroundVarious efforts have been made to effectively organize and manage undergraduate researchprograms (URPs). One of the efforts, as suggested by Weldon and Reyna [5] and Thornton et al.[6], is to design a lab manual that outlines clear expectations for undergraduate researchers in thelab to help with a smooth transition for new students so that faculty mentors do not have toreinvent the wheel each time a new student joins the laboratory
highlight each student project related to each component(Table 1).3.0 Experimental Component Projects3.1 Research OverviewOne of the aspects that was attractive to the researchers and students in the Foods and NutritionalSciences, Human Sciences Department at the Tennessee State University, was that Calabresemicrogreens are high in isothiocyanate sulforaphane and are known to prevent certain cancers[6]. Therefore, they conducted laboratory experiments to analyze the growth cycle and nutrientcontent of the Calabrese microgreens. The human sciences ecological framework was used tostudy how the Calabrese microgreens could improve the lives of students, researchers, andstakeholders at the individual, family, community, and environmental level.

like peer assessments, self-assessments, and co-teaching facultygraders or Teacher Assistants (TA) remains a challenge.Communication skills and associated projects could be embedded across the engineeringcurriculum to enable students to hone WID and learn effective communication techniques.However, retention of communication skills could be lacking if well-designed integration andassessment processes are not implemented. Hence at the University of South Florida (USF), wehave embarked on developing courses that attempt to bridge this gap and ensure undergraduatespossess the necessary communication skills to become successful engineers. For instance, afoundation engineering laboratory course was developed for first-year students in
88% of responding universities offered an introductorycourse in transportation with 79% of responding universities requiring the course forundergraduate students in the civil engineering department. These courses ranged from three tofour credit hours, with 26% including a laboratory component. The lack of laboratorycomponents coupled with the discovery of only 85% of faculty having a transportationengineering background beg for further investigation into the state of transportation engineeringcurricula nationwide. The final question of the survey asked respondents to suggestmodifications to their university’s introductory transportation engineering courses. Mostrespondents suggested adding a laboratory to the introductory course or adding a

senses than traditional online-based learning [12]. These extra sensesprovide a sense of immersion and presence. The sense of presence is the recognition of "beingthere,” while immersion is the quantitative measure by which technology can simulate a virtualenvironment [13] [14]. Studies have shown that multisensory integration boosts performance [15]and leads to faster, more efficient learning [16] [17]. These learning environments also provide theability to integrate artificial intelligence, such as speech recognition [18]. In addition, educatorshave complete control over the virtual environment, allowing them to simulate scenarios that maynot be possible in traditional laboratory or classroom settings.2.3 VR in Engineering and Manufacturing

A study alsoshows that depth of experiential learning, as indicated by the amount of time committed to thoseactivities, correlates positively with cognitive gains, while breadth, as indicated by the number ofactivities that a student engages in, is associated with improved teamwork skills [6]. Inparticular, the number of internships that an undergraduate has is a major predictor of initialcareer outcomes [4].Experiential learning is increasingly considered a critical component of higher education,complementing more traditional forms of classroom and laboratory instruction. Experientiallearning opportunities can also inform career choice, help students build

smartphone's location, which can be used for a variety of purposes such asmaps, tracking, and location-based services.A special feature of these physical data recorded by the internal sensors, however, is that theycan be used beyond their actual purpose with the help of additional programs, so-called apps.This makes it possible to carry out both qualitative and quantitative experiments in a widerange of subject areas, especially in physics. Smartphones thus represent small, transportablemeasurement laboratories. The project presented in this paper focuses on the latter point, inwhich the sensors installed in smartphones are used to carry out quantitative experiments.

: Some division members have created what might be termed Technology Survey Courses. These courses address a range of technologies. In some cases, course content may include social and historical dimensions of engineering and technology. Approaches are varied including lectures, demonstrations, and laboratories. Scientific principles involved in technological applications are often a major component of these courses [1]. • Technology Focus Courses: These courses tend to address a single technological topic or issue. Subject matter is intentionally focused rather than intentionally broad. In some cases, the courses have a substantial technical or quantitative component. The classes frequently include
delivering such information. 5.1.3 | Need for improving hands-on experiences of studentsHands-on experiences were considered to be an important part of college life. They were perceivedto contribute to better MHW as they provided students to see the practical real-world applicationsof their courses. Students wanted improvement in the laboratory like providing more state-of-the-art laboratory equipment. The study participants were of the view that they should be able toengage in research work to gain practical hands-on experiences. For example, one of theparticipants said the following. “The college of engineering should have more research opportunities available for students in professors’ labs. There might be many such opportunities available
curriculum: at Tufts, students take the course(ES 4) in the fall semester of sophomore year and it forms part of their core conception of whatelectrical and computer engineering is. In general, their courses up to this point have been genericacross engineering, and many students see the course as a way to confirm whether an electrical orcomputer engineering major is right for them. As a result, we have both an opportunity and anobligation to inspire and motivate students in addition to helping them develop prerequisite skillsfor other courses.Digital logic labsAs at most universities, our offering of the course has a substantial laboratory component, wherestudents put in the hard (and rewarding) work of translating pencil-and-paper logic designs

Institutes of Health (NIH) recentlyintroduced similar programs called Innovation Corps (I-Corps), which are designed to lead smallteams through customer discovery and business model validation during a seven- to eight-weekbootcamp. Both programs are widely recognized as effective training camps that “preparescientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the university laboratory” andcommercialize new technology faster [7]. These programs are primarily intended for graduatestudents and start-up business leaders, yet there is a need to engage students in entrepreneurialactivities sooner in their education [8]. One study by Pellicane and Blaho [8] adapted the I-Corpsmodel to an undergraduate course and found that students who participated had

. The traditional instructional model, often a large class sizeor laboratory setting, involves lecture-based content instruction with students completing workoutside of scheduled course time (6). This formal learning environment is ineffective for mostlearners (17). Students at risk of non-matriculation are especially disadvantaged with atraditional lecture-based content delivery format (18, 19, 20). Students at risk of non-matriculation in engineering degree programs include students whose GPA is less than 3.0 andincludes individuals identifying as an underrepresented minority, or first-generation collegestudents.
