fields [4], [5], [6].In recent years, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been gainingpopularity as a way to engage undergraduate students in authentic scientific inquiry on a largescale [7]. While CUREs have many similarities to traditional laboratory courses or courseresearch projects, the work students do as part of a CURE is framed in a fundamentally differentway. Research projects within CUREs ideally have direct and indirect impact on the broaderscientific community and offer students the opportunity to share study findings with externalstakeholders [8]. Consequently, CUREs represent an overlap between the triumvirate of studentlearning, stakeholder impact, and promotion of a faculty’s research program.In this work

meaningful and increases their confidence in theirability to achieve the course’s learning outcomes.Project Approach This EM activity took place in a semester long engineering mechanics course, Statics andDynamics. At this university, statics and dynamics is a four-credit hour course required forstudents majoring in biomedical, civil, and mechanical engineering. The course meets for lecturethree times per week for 65 minutes and is supported by a laboratory that meets for one hour andforty minutes once per week. Statics and Dynamics students worked in groups of 3-4 to completethis activity. For the activity, students were given the “Clippers Worth the Cost?” handout anddimensioned pictures of the standard and “Power Lever” garden

end of the activity,all groups came up with creative new opportunities for uses of a fire piston and the ideal gas law,including implementation into wood furnaces, access for those with disabilities to start fires, anduse in situations where matches might not be convenient.Additionally, after implementation, the module was refined further to minimize class timeimplementation and to create new activities that further enhance engagement. One such idea isto purchase these relatively inexpensive contraptions to create a small ember from classroommaterials in a laboratory setting, providing students with hands-on experience associated with theideal gas law.Further development of ideas and modules continue as of the writing of this paper. While a

) 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 significantlyincreased collaboration

category of “Into Action” highlights the students ability to begin pressure testing a ventureidea, plan the way forward, and work/learn with others to create value. This final set ofcompetencies are what engineering design and laboratory team projects work towards. ABETstudent outcome #5 [an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meetobjectives] directly points at these same ideas of putting engineering knowledge into action. Whileit can be hard to build this environment for undergraduate engineering teams, well-constructedproject based learning opportunities might accomplish this. However, these are usually
