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

the software has been successful forhomework, there were still several challenges during the transition to utilize it fully forsynchronous online labs. The main challenge was management of student expectations. Studentsinitially demonstrated disappointment that they would not be able to directly apply skill sets tophysical equipment. The students soon saw; however, that the simulation software presentedmore of an opportunity to practice and grasp the key aspects of automation. The availability ofthe simulation software on the student’s PC provided more opportunities for them to practicetheir skill sets (e.g. EDS planning and implementation) as opposed to the hard-wired physicalunits, which have limited access even under normal (pre-pandemic
