BackgroundThis section presents prior work in two areas relevant to the current study. First, prior work onexperiential education and project-based learning is presented. Next, prior relevant work incybersecurity is discussed.2.1. Experiential Education & Project-based LearningUndergraduate research experiences, as the name would suggest, fall squarely in the category ofexperiential education. Undergraduate research is a project, with answering the identified researchquestions as its key goal (from students’ perspectives). For educators, undergraduate researchprojects seek to provide students

Next, prior work on experiential education, project-based learning and theirassessment is reviewed. Finally, prior research on cohort-creation and team bonding for college-age students is presented.2.1. REU sitesThe National Science Foundation REU program brings together cohorts of undergraduatestudents to study topics within NSF supported disciplines. Many REU sites have an overarchingtheme to them that relates to a sub-discipline or interdisciplinary collaboration.REU sites inherently vary from institution to institution, as each institution proposes

Our engineering programs weredeveloped at the request of, and in collaboration with, industry stakeholders in order to bolsterthe professional workforce in West Michigan. Since conception, our programs have grownstrategically in response to the changing needs of local employers. Recently, the addition of anew Innovation Design Center with dedicated space for K-12 outreach, industry project work,and applied research and development has inspired us to think creatively about the ways inwhich we are engaging with industry and the

The Bell program, a Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, wasestablished in 2019 with an aim to increase student success, decrease student debt, and allowstudents to gain up to two years of on-the-job experience prior to graduation. In the process ofprogram development, the Bell program has been identified, in a study by MIT, as an “emergingglobal leader in engineering education” [4].This engineering education model featuring project-based learning is based off an existingprogram, Iron Range Engineering, which has been around for over ten years.

Some students were part oflarge, established experimental laboratories while other students worked individually or in smallgroups on computational or theoretical projects. As this course was launched in Fall 2020,students in this class experienced the additional challenge of starting college (and undergraduateresearch) remotely during a global pandemic. The design and content of this course wereevaluated using anonymous feedback and a review of reflective discussion posts in order todetermine whether the course supported the stated learning goals.

In order to provide contextand relevance, we used a collaborative framework to create an experiential learning project inwhich student teams collaborated with local stakeholders to explore the real world challenges ofmaintaining wastewater systems in a resource-constrained city. In addition, we integrated adesign thinking process to engage students in empathy/ethics-based methods and approaches toproblem solving.Collaborative FrameworkThe course

The researchers suggested the benefits of students interacting with students innon-engineering majors through these activities.Typologies of involvement. Student typologies provide an additional approach to investigatingthe distinct effects of involvement for different students [29], [67]–[71]. These approachesconsider student subcultures by classifying students according to common characteristics,including types of involvement [72]. Researchers have further linked student typologies todifferences in self-reported development [70]. Contradicting some previously discussed findings,these studies have
