involve the REU participants in the UAV related cutting-edge researchprojects. The UAV Lab at Cal Poly Pomona provides a suitable research environment for theparticipants [1]. References 1 and 2 provide the details on some of the projects that the participantswere involved in. The participants are provided with an opportunity to gain knowledge on theapplication of engineering and computer science to UAV technologies, acquire skills necessary toconduct meaningful research, understand research process, and learn laboratory techniques. Inmost cases, the participants tested the algorithms they developed in simulation and flight tests.

would be “incredibly helpful”.AE scholars also use a wide variety of tools and platforms for sharing research data. Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.

research that confirms this belief. Indeed somework suggests that engineering graduates are ill-prepared to solve the complex problems theyencounter in the workplace [4]. Substantial work has been devoted to characterizing student andexpert problem-solving in physics [5-11] and engineering [12-14], but there are almost noagreed-upon measures of problem solving [8]. If we are to teach undergraduate students to solvecomplex, real-world problems we must be able to measure how well they are learning thenecessary skills. In this work, we describe the testing of a new assessment to measuredimensions of problem-solving in undergraduate chemical engineering courses.Much of the empirical work in problem-solving has focused on differences between experts

At the completion of their project, students graduated and therefore, no studentsremained to teach the incoming students about the project or best practices of the design process.This project is also different from a Design Competition project. In a design competition project,students’ main focus was on the completion of the product and less on the process of design [17],whereas in this project the focus of the students was to achieve a balance between process andproduct. For example, Poynter et al [17] described that the competition design project scope forthe Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) student competition was to
