REU sitesThe National Science Foundation REU program brings together cohorts of undergraduatestudents to study topics within NSF supported disciplines. Many REU sites have an overarchingtheme to them that relates to a sub-discipline or interdisciplinary collaboration.REU sites inherently vary from institution to institution, as each institution proposes

Moregenerally, it is estimated that industrial economies return much of the raw material to theenvironment as waste, within one year of extraction (8). There are technological and societalbarriers towards overcoming the conventional linear cycle of consumption. A societal challengeis the flow of electronic waste between countries, for example from the United States to China.However, the focus of the RET Site was to provide research projects based on the naturalsciences for the teachers, so the issue of electronic waste export was not explicitly addressed.Instead, teachers focused on characterizing and solve technical challenges.

Therefore, work is being done to design assessment that allows for student freedomwith strategies like project-based learning and learning portfolios [5]. These forms of assessmentderive from work on open-ended learning environments and self-regulated learning. Open-endedlearning is a pedagogical approach that harnesses students’ intrinsic motivation to learn [6], andself-regulated learning is when students make goals and evaluate their learning in order topractice metacognition [7]. Many researchers have found benefits when implementing moreopportunities for student-directed learning both in higher education [8–11] and the K-12system [12]. Giving students ownership
biggest challenge was the issues faced with the hardware and software together. There was a repeatedissue of the soil moisture sensor generating incorrect readings, and not just working “backwards,” butworking in strange ways all together. The problem that caused this was loose wiring. To fix this, wireswere glued together where needed, and taped down to the Arduino Uno case so they would not comeloose again.Knowledge and experience on selecting and using appropriate sensors for plants development that weregained in this senior design capstone project led the authors and undergraduate students to be recentlyinvolved in a major USDA grant award titled “Design and Development of a Handheld InfraredThermography Device for Nondestructive Rapid

Forthe latter two aspects, defined in this work as the group dynamic, the most important factors forbuilding a sense of community are group pro-activity, cohesiveness, and attitude.IntroductionThe emerging call for future engineers with global-citizen mindsets asks for a re-evaluation ofcurrent educational experiences provided in higher education. In the U.S., participation in study-abroad programs for students majoring in engineering has increased more than 50% over the pastdecade [1]. Study-abroad programs represent the general interest of exposing students to othercultures or

spatialability has been shown to be a predictor of student success in first-year engineering students [12].The students are also trained to develop metacognitive skills and work to develop growth mindsets,both of which have been linked to success in STEM courses [13–15].

Students often devise unique systems that will be described laterto solve their file management problems. Most of these systems meet a few of the functions of aPDM system, but still provide issues and problems as they are applied to complex CAD filestructures.Undergraduates clubs would also benefit from a PDM
