The twopeer mentors were selected from a group of students who participated in a pilot version of theSSP the previous year. SI sessions focused on both the engineering and math classes, providingtime for open-ended project work, specialized help on in-class problems, and access to additionalproblem sets. The session times varied each quarter but were strategically chosen to

toname two accomplishments after participating in a REU, the result was an increased level ofconfidence and an increased appreciation for research. These answers, as well as previouslycollected data, suggest a daily laboratory experience for undergraduate students is necessary fordevelopment of engineering identity and research self-efficacy [5]. Daily laboratory experience issomething the REU can provide since participants would be carrying out original research whileworking on their project each day. Since the REU gives engineering students experience in theircareer paths, it also gives them a taste of what graduate school would be like and has indirectlyled to an increase in positive attitude towards graduate school as well as graduate

The course exploredengineering mechanics and design topics concurrent with applying physics topics in anengineering laboratory. A qualitative analysis was performed using a new reflective tool,PhotoVoice. The purpose of the assessment was to better understand the impact of the course onthe student vision, the operation of the course relative to what they have encountered in theireducational careers, and student-perceived learning outcomes. Analysis of student reflectionsrevealed themes of “Changed Perspectives,” “Engagement in the Classroom,” and“Brainstorming Benefits” when describing the impact of the course on their career visions

For each project, essential mechanical units were provided and thestudents were tasked with developing and testing a prototype unit or in a laboratory setting.Because of the limited time allotted to the project during the semester (approximately 6 weeks),the instructor gave the specific problem definition to the students, rather than having the studentsperform their own problem definition based upon a more generic needs statement.The objective of the water purification project was to develop a prototype device for on-demandpurification of

social skills are likely to vary widely among engineering students [2], there isa benefit to creating opportunities for students to develop and refine their skills. A potential idealenvironment for teaching and developing social skills is laboratory situations in which studentscollaborate as they work in teams [3, 4].Students are much more likely to experience positive growth in their social skills when thosethey seek support from when learning (e.g., faculty members, and mentors) integrate and modeleffective social skills in their interactions [5]. Thus, there is justification for researching thestudents’ awareness and understanding of the social skills modeled for them in their interactionswith their learning leaders. Specific to our research
