for Engineering Education, 2012Best Practices in Creating and Running Research Experience ProgramsAbstractResearch experience projects for undergraduates, teachers, community colleges, and K-12students have increased in recent years. The properly designed and executed projects have thepotential to not only expose the participants to the advanced research environment and provideengagement opportunities in exciting scientific activities, but also their positive impacts enhancethe project faculty and graduate assistant career developments.This paper describes various planning and management aspects of different research experienceprograms that target a wide spectrum of audiences from K-12 to undergraduate students.

graduate science content courses are being piloted for this program. Thesecourses were based on the AAAS’ Benchmarks for Science Literacy Clusters in the PhysicalSetting, the Designed World, and the Nature of Technology. Each of the five courses isintroduced through the perspective of a contemporary issue in which science and engineeringplay a paramount role, such as energy consumption and climate change. Scientific inquiry andthe engineering design process are embedded within each course as vehicles to promote 21stcentury skills, particularly critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation and creativity. Forinstance, as part of the Energy Production and Consumption Course, teachers created a plan forimproving the energy efficiency of their homes
