. This course has been developed and is taught by faculty from bothdepartments. The course includes the use of discrete components and FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGA). A set of custom hardware components have beendeveloped that can be interfaced to an FPGA and a microcontroller. Instructional videoshelp students prepare for laboratory exercises and the course concludes with a finaldesign-build project.The overall goal of this project is to teach students how to work in multi-disciplinaryteams and to make it easier for students to switch between AS and AAS programs. ACapstone Design course is being developed where small teams comprised of PrecisionMachining, Engineering Science, and Computer Technology students will solve asemester long

Page 26.1546.2a graduate student or post-doc mentor, who oversee the student’s research project. Graduatestudent mentors are offered a $1,000 stipend at the end of the summer. Mentoring occurs throughresearch group meetings and one-on-one discussions. Each student has their own hands-onindependent research project that is intended to further develop the student’s interest andknowledge in science and engineering careers.The TTE REU program consists of a 9 week summer long research internship. During the firstweek, students take part in a laboratory “boot camp” that introduces basic laboratory andresearch skills in order to acclimate the students to the university and labs. Students alsoparticipate in an orientation that covers strategies for

alsonoted that all students benefit from research experiences, not just students with high GPAs.Therefore, it seems appropriate to start students on the research path early on.Challenges of Undergraduate Research at a Two-Year College Page 26.942.2Incorporating undergraduate research at the community college level presents unique challenges.A two-year college will usually not have a built-in structure for supporting undergraduateresearch. Particularly in engineering, where expensive laboratories or equipment may benecessary, cost itself can be very prohibitive. The college may not have lab space to dedicate toresearch, or even have a large enough

withlittle or no high quality laboratory experience in K-12, lack of experience building thingsduring childhood and adolescence, lack of understanding about how mechanical thingswork and a lack of experience measuring and hypothesizing have little background thatwould lead them to know about or to choose a STEM course of study without making aconnection to something they care about.The culture of inquiry and freedom from required content promoted questioning and whatwould be considered “off topic” discussions sometimes arose. Encouraging these questionscan increase student engagement when the facilitators are able to provide appropriatecontext for the student’s question rather than dismissing it.3.

by CA2VES’ include high-impact, hands-on virtualreality and 3D visualizations and also focus on engaging, computer enhanced teachingtechniques, and hands-on laboratory experiences; the combination of which offers student-centered, contextual, authentic learning experiences (see Figure 1). It is difficult to make real-world learning experiences widely available in the classroom to students because ofparameterization issues (too many variables to manipulate) and the availability and cost ofequipment and machinery. The flexibility inherent in e-learning and virtual classrooms offersCA2VES new avenues to not only attract more technology-oriented students but also capacity toreach new students in locations (including areas lacking geographical
