during the I-CUREs session for students to gain a betterunderstanding of civil engineering in a comprehensive manner.During the lab tour, students were given a realistic view of theprofession and were able to develop a sense of professionalcognition. Through immersive observation and participation,such as listening to senior or graduate students introducing thefunction of each lab, what they are doing recently in these labs,including the show of drones flying and controlling, 3-Dprinting, the concrete canoe building, etc., students will knowhow the profession fits them and if they intend to learn it in thefuture. Likewise, high school students have the same opportunity tovisit laboratories, observe and participate in cutting-edgetechnology
Implementation: The foundation for this new design course was based on previousimplementations of electrospinning in senior design projects [13, 14], educational modules [15,16, 17], and research courses [18, 19, 20]. However, the novelty of this course was its goal ofcontrolling ambient conditions to improve manufacturing electrospun fibers. Specifically, studentsin teams of 4-5 were tasked to design an electrospinning system that could monitor temperature orhumidity and regulate the appropriate ambient parameter to stay within an ideal range.The course was designed to be a required 2-credit hour course that would be held once a weekduring a standard 3-hour laboratory period with ~20 students (5 teams). The course was led by oneprimary instructor and
