conducted this program fully virtualwith all participants working remotely. Students were matched with faculty based on their primaryfields of interest, had to work a minimum of 20hrs per week, and were actively involved in theirhost lab routines [3]. We organized a series of workshops on research methods, scientific writing,and career planning discussed in detail in subsequent sections. The program ended with a virtualconference which gave all students the opportunity to present their work and to participate in aresearch presentation contest. We had a total of 21 participants working in 10 different labs. Theprogram was designed to address fundamental gaps in the engineering undergraduate curriculum:project-oriented coding experience, scientific

those that are targeting an applied career in industry. METstudents in the ABET accredited program at NJIT take similar courses to their MechanicalEngineering (ME) counterparts with the reduction of specific math courses that would be neededfor a theoretical background utilized in ME graduate studies. Please see the ME (Click Here) [5]and MET (Click Here) [6] curriculum differences described on our University’s website. Thetheoretical or intensive math-based ME courses are replaced with MET key courses that are moreapplied in nature. This includes mechatronics, which has been seen to be a key course for appliedengineers entering the industrial workforce. There are different focus areas that can be taken in amechatronic education program, namely

for engineering careers. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Chemistry and Transportation Engineering Experiment- Centric Pedagogy with Hands-on LabsAbstractThis project developed small, portable sensor-based experiments as an alternative to thoseconducted in a traditional laboratory setting. Experiment-centric pedagogy was used in thisstudy and hands-on laboratory experiments were developed using USB-based measurementdevices. Three experiments were developed for Chemistry namely pH meter, thermochemistry,and spectrophotometry. During pH settlement, the voltage was recorded, and the calibrationcurve drawn using
