This program advances thediscovery and dissemination of research that bridges undergraduate experiences with theattainment of graduate engineering degrees. Furthermore, it strengthens industry partnershipsand develops highly trained workforces, by systematically creating a pipeline of diverseengineering professionals. This program developed can be readily adapted and implemented atother programs across the nation.IntroductionThe Student Integrated Intern Research Experience (SIIRE) program at the University ofArkansas is funded via the NSF S-STEM program.

different formsof involvement by the employer constituents, including course projects, senior capstoneexperiences/projects, and advisory boards. These directly address ABET‟s criteria that studentsare prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum incorporating appropriate engineeringstandards and multiple realistic constraints[2].IntroductionDemonstration that graduates of an engineering program have met the student learning outcomesa-k is required to be compliant with ABET expectations for accreditation. There are many waysthat the learning outcomes can be demonstrated, and most commonly is accomplished throughassessment of some course-related activity including homework assignments, exams,laboratories, and projects. Some of the learning

workplace aftergraduation, it is important that they understand the nature of those problems that they willencounter and the specific challenges they are going to face in the real world.Not many researchers have investigated students’ perceptions of engineering workplaceproblem solving. Some of the existing studies we have found suggest that students might nothave a good understanding of engineering workplace. For example, Jocuns, Stevens, Garrison,and Amos (2008)’s study indicates some students graduated from engineering without a clearidea of what the actual workplace will look like4. Similar findings are shared in the workpresented by Matusovich, Streveler, Miller, and Olds (2009). Their qualitative study over a fouryear period found three out
