studentsoverpassed those of students from New York State and the country. We believe that this is apractical course model can be easily replicated by programs with the same interest.I. IntroductionUndergraduate research is a high-impact practice leading to student success, engagement,interest in higher education, and skills development [1] [2]. There are two well-known modelsfor incorporating research experiences in a program: Undergraduate Research Experiences(UREs) and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) [3]. UREs representthe apprentice model. They feature individual students in faculty research laboratories andprovide the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. On the other hand, CUREs are embedded intothe curriculum and are available

Laboratory. He has over eighteen years of experience in practicing, teaching and research in civil engineering. His academic background and professional skills allows him to teach a range of courses across three different departments in the school of engineering. This is a rare and uncommon achievement. Within his short time at Morgan, he has made contributions in teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses. He has been uniquely credited for his inspirational mentoring activities and educat- ing underrepresented minority students. Through his teaching and mentoring at Morgan State University he plays a critical role in educating the next generation of underrepresented minority students, especially African-American

freshmen need tocomplete an introductory assignment on Matlab, and some of the lab managers offer tutorialsoutside of class hours to guide students through the Matlab assignment. The freshmen also havea Thursday noon lecture series which introduces them to a variety of opportunities throughoutJohns Hopkins. Lab managers can present their research, study abroad trip, and/or design teamprojects at one of these lectures. Lab managers prepare slides for a short oral presentation, andtalk about the challenges and benefits of their experiences. In fact, the student-run Thursdaypresentations were rated significantly higher by the freshmen compared to the more formalpresentations by the Career Center, BME faculty, or other guests. Over 96% of the freshmen

physics lab report writing and undergraduate research paper writing.I. IntroductionThe City University of New York instituted a writing intensive component in its curriculummore than ten years ago. Queensborough Community College (QCC), being a junior college inthe CUNY System, requires two writing intensive courses for graduation. Our PhysicsDepartment has designated Calculus Physics and Technology Physics classes as writingintensive classes where lab report writing is a substantial element 1. A quick review of the 2014high school SAT score shows that Engineering majors have higher critical reading scores whencompared to English majors, while English majors have higher writing scores when compared toengineering majors 2, 3. The result would
