Research Project: Planning and AssessmentAbstractThis paper describes the planning and assessment of a summer transitional program as part of amulti-year undergraduate research project. The summer program is a focused, project-basedlearning experience for undergraduate students in engineering at two universities withsignificantly different demographics – one, a top-tier research university and the other, a smallerprivate university focusing on undergraduate education. The two universities are workingclosely with an industry partner who is providing materials and expertise and who mayeventually incorporate into their manufacturing process the technology being developed in thisproject. The students are juniors and seniors involved in independent

students are enrolling in the Distance Engineering Degree Program without a priorengineering background. The growth in the distance program, along with the changingdemographics, presents a challenge to ensure that the same quality of student learning can beachieved. Two primary purposes for this study are 1) to compare the preference for variousteaching methods between on-campus and distance learners and 2) to better understand thebackground and motivations for distance learners in the mechanical engineering department.Ibrahim and Morsi1 performed an early survey of distance engineering programs, focusingprimarily on Electrical and Computer Engineering. At the time, they found that most distanceengineering/technology courses were offered at the

techniques to study these materialsare pioneer in the field of materials science and engineering and most of them are still in theresearch stage. For most students, realizing these advanced materials and technology is their firsttime. Therefore, it is a challenge to for students to understand the course material in depth. Inorder to overcome this challenge, experimental studies are introduced as part of the coursethrough an active learning platform. Overall, four labs are designed and conducted to investigatethe properties and performance of piezoelectric materials and shape memory alloys. Theoutcome of the experimental studies is evaluated by written reports consisting of learningobjectives, experimental methods, results, and discussions. These lab
