defined by the following: i. The Learner is in a professional environment, generally in industry; ii. The Learner works towards a qualification that is relevant to the industry, and aligned with her/ his work profile; iii. The workplace is the natural setting for the delivery of the education, and is converted into a learning environment or class room/laboratory; iv. Synchronous instruction is employed to teach the fundamental principles, and applications, in core and advanced areas relevant to the domain, along with relevant laboratory sessions; v. Asynchronous means of instruction are employed to provide flexibility and ease of access, and most importantly, to keep the learner engaged constantly
selected to participate asFWS students with the Office of Academic Affairs: • Conduct research (laboratory and/or literature based) 8 - 15 hours per week (per Mentor’s instruction). • Research assignments may be part of a larger project, a pilot project, or be designed to provide preliminary data for future research, scholarly or creative projects. • Are required to attend a monthly research seminar given by the GSOE. • Complete of a variety of research assignments (per Mentor’s instruction/project description). • Write a Research Report at the end of each semester.The Process for FWS - A half page description of the overall project (goals, objectives, and methodology),student tasks and responsibilities, minimum
]. They alsoobtain increased monetary compensation [5] and report higher job satisfaction. A study alsoshows that depth of experiential learning, as indicated by the amount of time committed to thoseactivities, correlates positively with cognitive gains, while breadth, as indicated by the number ofactivities that a student engages in, is associated with improved teamwork skills [6]. Inparticular, the number of internships that an undergraduate has is a major predictor of initialcareer outcomes [4].Experiential learning is increasingly considered a critical component of higher education,complementing more traditional forms of classroom and laboratory instruction. Experientiallearning opportunities can also inform career choice, help students build
programs that involved students in the on-going activities of the institution andacquainted them with older professionals, who could potentially serve as mentors, wereincorporated into the sequense of recommended activities [11], [17]. Since today’s collegestudents are deeply motivated by large scale problems and environmental issues [18], significanteffort was expended in helping them to select broad, diverse faculty-directed projects orientedtoward the Grand Challenges for their initial research team experiences, where possible [19]. Asrising sophomores, the RS students participated in the Louis Stokes Alliance of MinorityParticipation (LSAMP) program [20], becoming team members within an experimental laboratory,directly participating in the

Mechatronics from the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comt´e (UBFC), France, and currently working as the Mechanical Engineering Laboratories Manager at Texas A&M University at Qatar. He joined Texas A&M University at Qatar in 2007 coming from University of Sharjah. Dr. Al-Hamidi had been appointed as a visiting lecturer in 2018 to teach design related courses in the mechanical engineering program. He specializes in product design, instrumentation, controls, and automation. Dr. Al-Hamidi founded the Engineering Enrichment Program in 2016, which is currently one of the Center for Teaching and Learning pillars. He received three Transformative Engineering Education grants related to multidisciplinary education in 2018
-year projects that better align with real-world conditions. c. Research: There have been focus groups on underrepresented minority science students that show those participating in a structured research program take on a "science identity" and are more likely to persist in their major [8]. Similar to other structured research programs, EESI students work in laboratories with faculty on the latest cutting-edge technology. However, the faculty are selected to ensure they have a passion for underrepresented minority student success and that their lab extends the safe space concept. d.
