. A major focus of this program is on tiered-mentorship, whereby graduate students alsomentor the undergraduates. In the model of graduate student mentors, the graduate student andundergraduate have periodic meetings with the faculty member to report their progress anddiscuss data/results. Depending on the structure of the laboratory, the undergraduate studenteither works directly with the faculty member or the faculty member assigns a graduate studentto work with the undergraduate student. Under the guidance of the faculty member or facultymember/graduate student, the undergraduate students conduct a research project focused onengineering approaches to study the treatment of diabetes or its complications

The course was taught as a pilot to 130 on-campus students during the summer of 2013.Based on the feedback of the pilot group, the course was fine-tuned prior to offering it full-scalein Fall 2013. Over 16,000 students signed up for the open version of the course withapproximately 3000 students active in the course on a weekly basis. This research is based onthe modifications made to blended elements of the course (MOOC, in-class laboratory activities,in-class problem solving) from the pilot study and examines how students’ conceptualunderstanding of circuits topics changed over seven weeks.3.

STEM fields. The goal was to determine if exposing the students to a roboticworkshop would influence them to consider a career in a STEM discipline.The questionnaire used a Likert scale for the intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI) assessmentproposed in McAuley et al.8. IMI is used to measure participants' subjective experience as it isrelated to a specific activity in a laboratory setting, or as in our case, the robotics workshop. Thequestions in this survey measure four major dimensions of internal, or intrinsic, motivation.These dimensions are 1) interest/enjoyment, 2) perceived competence, 3) effort/importance and4) tension/pressure. The questions listed in the appendix are based on these four dimensions.With this questionnaire the

Borrowing fromprinciples of problem-based and collaborative learning, in this semi-structured project, in groups,students were expected to make a self-assessment of what they already knew, what they neededto know, and where to go to find obtain information needed to solve the problem.There are multiple expected outcomes that students can use in their design of the semi-structuredproject, but they do not have to use any particular design element or any combination of designelements.

The drag coefficient wasdetermined using three different methods: software simulation of the flow around a SolidWorksmodel of the vehicle fairing, wind tunnel testing of a three dimensional model of the vehiclefairing, and field tests of the actual vehicle. The SolidWorks model was tested using the FlowSimulation tool in SolidWorks, which calculates the drag force, which can be used to evaluatethe drag coefficient, knowing frontal area, velocity, and air density. The SolidWorks model wasalso used to print a three dimensional model, which was then placed in the wind tunnel in ourfluids laboratory and tested at different velocities and heights.

This gives students an opportunity to be sure theirsystem is working and to make preliminary observations of the water heating effect. As the initial system is observed and proven to be functional, student groups are asked todiscuss possible variables affecting performance, and select a variable to test during the follow-on lab the next day.
