stimulate the interests ofother instructors to introduce such active-learning hands-on modules in their classrooms for bothgraduate and undergraduate students.Future PlansOur future plans include implementing these modules in the classroom again next year. One ofthe main concerns addressed by the students is the time commitment to such hands-on moduleswithin a 3 credit-hours lecture course. Currently, the BE faculty are addressing the need to add acellular bioengineering laboratory to the curriculum. If approved, these hands-on modules will beimplemented in a three hours lab period that will be added to the 3 credit-hours lecture course.The course will be assigned 4 credit hours. If a lab was added to the curriculum, two additionalhands-on modules

. These portfolios are gauged, graded, evaluated and assessed using avariety of rubrics and assessment tools. The author has previously presented some ofthese results in a form at the 114th ASEE Annual Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. The author plans to generate and utilize a similar rubric for purposes ofassessment. Furthermore, it should be recognized that each topic or subject matter may bedifferent and the difference may be huge and significant. Each instructor’s delivery styleis different and one may even arrive at two different sets of data for the same subject andtopic when two different instructors are involved (Narayanan, 2007). The principles of VARK as outlined by Fleming and Mills could also be used todocument

meaningful research with facultymembers as being one of the most powerful instructional tools4. Furthermore, Morley found that92% of the participants in a summer research program in electrical engineering for minorities atGeorgia Tech were either enrolled in graduate school or were planning to enroll within the nexttwo years5. Thus, the literature makes clear the benefits of research experiences in science andengineering, revealing a win-win program for undergraduate students, graduate student mentorsand faculty mentors.Theoretical Framework Astin’s theory of involvement is perhaps the most appropriate when investigating andinterpreting student involvement6. Astin defines involvement as the amount of physical andpsychological energy that a student

section). EI-100 goal isto introduce students to the Engineering Method, this is accomplished by focusing on six courseobjectives: self-regulation, communication, working cooperatively and collaboratively, problemsolving, modeling, and quality. The “Modeling” section initiates students in the process ofengineering modeling, using several software including spreadsheets. “Concepts” introducestudents to the engineering design process, problem-solving techniques, working in teams,engineering as a profession, and planning for success that students then apply in “Laboratory” ontwo actual design projects. The “Concepts” section uses quizzes given in nearly every session toascertain whether students have understood the material in their pre-class
