Various CURES within engineering courses have been previously described in theliterature. Most engineering CURES have been implemented within sophomore level or latercourses [4]. For Example, Mena et al. [5] designed a novel CURE implementation within a senior-level aerospace engineering course. In this model, graduate students served as research mentorsfor undergraduate students. The course initiated with a few weeks of dedicated lecture contentintended to provide a common baseline of skills. The proposed CUREs model described hereinutilizes a similar approach of initiating the semester with dedicated lecture content beforetransitioning to the research-based content. Potter et al. [6] implemented a CURE within a required sophomore-level

discussions facilitated the selection of research topics and development of researchquestions and hypotheses. The final steps in the spring semester were the identification ofexperiments to test the research questions/hypotheses and the physical set up of the experiments.The projects undertaken by the two groups of students were very different from one another. Onegroup had an aerospace/robotics engineering concentration, and they utilized the Arduino Unotechnology to study flex sensor versus thumb-stick accuracy and precision for robotic applications.The other group took an environmental/water quality approach and used the Arduino Unotechnology to study changes in pH of water in fertilized versus unfertilized soils.SummerThe faculty mentor had a

They will also be qualified to take machining certificationexaminations.Construction TradesThis program provides training for entry-level positions in the various construction trades, aswell as for increasing the skill levels of those currently employed. Short-term training and non-credit courses are offered to assist students in becoming more marketable in this industry.Courses include plumbing, welding, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning (HVAC), cabinetry,carpentry, pre-construction, and general home repair. Particularly helpful for students is theavailability of apprenticeships in some of these trades, offering

, it frequently serves as their initial exposure to STEM programs.Numerous aerospace and industry professionals, as well as the LCATS Instructors,have remarked on the students' ability to grasp these important engineering concepts atexceptionally young ages.Students were assessed for spatial skills with a timed test on the first Saturday of theirfirst year in the program, before they played with any of the core components, and willbe assessed again with the same test on the final Saturday of the first year. They will betested again at the beginning/end of their second year, and the beginning/end of theirfinal (3rd) year in the LCATS Program. The goal of each year is for students to show anincrease in spatial awareness, and use the skills they
