for Engineering Education, 2012Best Practices in Creating and Running Research Experience ProgramsAbstractResearch experience projects for undergraduates, teachers, community colleges, and K-12students have increased in recent years. The properly designed and executed projects have thepotential to not only expose the participants to the advanced research environment and provideengagement opportunities in exciting scientific activities, but also their positive impacts enhancethe project faculty and graduate assistant career developments.This paper describes various planning and management aspects of different research experienceprograms that target a wide spectrum of audiences from K-12 to undergraduate students.

play akey role in the curriculum. Furthermore, it is important to link the curriculum to research andscholarship in engineering and applied science education to foster the use of the best pedagogicalpractices and to create visibility for the curriculum model. Over the last several years, a few institutions in the country have established separateDepartments of Engineering Education to spearhead innovative teaching practices and conductresearch in engineering education. However, a separate Department of Engineering Educationcan become yet another “silo” within the engineering college with its own values that do notpermeate into disciplinary departments. Faculty in this separate department can be viewed as“second class citizens” by faculty

,qualitative analyses may provide more detailed information on the quality of interdisciplinaryresearch conducted within this program. Further, qualitative analytical strategies would also beuseful for providing evidence regarding how each student’s prior experiences (e.g.,undergraduate training, prior work experience) and learning engagement in program activities(e.g., learning and writing communities) impact individual interdisciplinarity. Thus, furtherstudies are needed in order to best understand these processes within engineering doctoralstudents.AcknowledgementsFunding for this research was provided by the NSF NRT program (NSF-DGE-1545403).Data-Enabled Discovery and Design of Energy Materials, D3EM.References[1] C.H.

The design project was structured so that faculty research and pre-project prep wouldguide/facilitate the work, not dictate the final results. This working method allowed for a greatdegree of student input (far greater than any other capstone deign project), but it also meant thatstudents were operating with reserved confidence and expectations. In the end, there was a gooddegree of original/inventive design, but stereotypes of engineers and artists prevailed.
