and Treagust [5] suggest that one of the main challenges of PBL in engineeringeducation is to ensure students still develop a strong fundamental understanding of engineeringprinciples in addition to demonstrating higher levels of motivation and better communication andteamwork skills.Ideally PBL experiences must be integrated throughout the undergraduate program, rather than asingle capstone project, in order for learning to be most effective [19],[7]. Furthermore, if theseprojects are providing an integrated contextual environment, the students can also developcommunication, independence, confidence and initiative, and project management skills [19]. Addingcontextual relevance to the project engages the students and makes them feel that the

ifthey were hiring students for the summer and if not, provided a research project that could be ofinterest to the student. The LSAMP program provided potential support network contacts anddemonstrated the organization and flow of work within a modern research laboratory. Thesophomore seminar concentrated on communication skills and career selection.During the summer before their junior year, students typically conducted their own researchproject in a Multidisciplinary Engineering Research Fellowship (MERF). The MERF experiencewas crafted to resemble the capstone experience included in most STEM majors and provide aforeshadowing of the same project management and people skills necessary to be successful inindustry [18] [19]. The junior seminar

backgrounds.” Additionally, Hora et al’s recent investigationof online internships suggests that remote interns are more likely to be upper- or middle-class,and those internships are more likely to be unpaid [14].The benefits of participation in internships or co-ops accrue both to students (in educationaloutcomes and personal development) and to institutions. Internships help build studentcapabilities and skills for capstone projects, and provide hands-on experience that may resonateespecially well with students who learn best experientially [15], [16]. Additionally, internshipsmay bolster student and mentor motivation, as well as the formation of an engineering identityfor participating students and student retention [2], [17]–[19]. Institutions
