The 10 week-long summerresearch was sponsored by the University Committee on Undergraduate Research (UCUR) at theUniversity of South Alabama. The student received a summer stipend of $2500. Under thesupervision of his faculty mentor, the student spent two weeks to survey the related literature andcome up with a suitable design and a cost estimate.

Most of the work is performed on anindependent basis – the student works on their component and then submits it to the team.The material is then integrated into the final product.Throughout the semester, the faculty advisor meets with the team on close to a weeklybasis. Based on the interactions in the weekly meetings, the advisor has an appreciationfor what students the students are working on – those that are doing the work and thosethat are not contributing. As a result, the advisor was often required to grade the studenton the work that was submitted by the team and participation at weekly meetings.Although this approach was objective, it was not the
