noveltechnical domain, nuclear engineering developed within a new organizational context [8].Previously, physicists practiced their research within university science departments, but with thedevelopment of wartime research efforts, such as the Manhattan Project, top physicists andengineers found themselves employed by government and military-funded research initiatives.Post-WWII, these government research efforts continued via the establishment of nationallaboratories. The first national laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, cites its establishmentin 1946 as having the goal to perform “cooperative research in nucleonics”, another term used todescribe the field of ‘nuclear engineering’ or ‘atomic energy’ [9]. This time period was markedby specific

The first half of the semester focuseson the exploration of combinational and sequential logic circuits, which correspond to layers fourand five in Fig. 1. Thereafter, students can design an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) circuitcapable of executing fundamental arithmetic and logic operations. This design exercise can aidstudents in grasping how binary opcodes can effectively govern digital circuits. Furthermore,students also design a functional CPU circuit using the essential components provided by thecircuit simulator.

The system is modelled in VHDL and simulated using Xilinxdesign tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. A basic microcontroller is created byadding memory-mapped input/output (I/O). The system is implemented in hardware on a fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA). The processor can then be interfaced with peripheral devicesto demonstrate functional applications.A key component of the Computer Architecture course is a student

: Engineering identity formation is not simply the result of technical knowledgeacquisition, but also that of enculturation. Both processes are intricately linked to the places (i.e.,physical infrastructures) in which they unfold such as laboratories, classrooms, communal areas,and other engineering spaces on a university campus. Places act as a conduit for engineeringenculturation, as it is within these settings that students are inundated with value-laden symbols& representations, participate in engineering activities and rituals, and are expected to adopt andembody dominant engineering mindsets and attitudes towards technical problem solving.Recognizing that the physical infrastructure of a place can serve as a tangible manifestation ofbroader
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
