By weekfour, students presented their research plans before a panel of faculty and student judges. To enrichindividual research experiences, weekly seminars with guest lectures and discussions on moderndrivers of STEM research were integrated in this summer research program. In order to completethe program, each student produced three final deliverables - an oral presentation, a technicalposter and a final paper. In addition, students were exposed to an industrial R&D setting througha visit to a multinational corporation known for its innovation

We revised lessons selected for inclusion in E4C to be age-appropriate and share a similar format across E4C lessons and units. We also designed a fewlessons to address learning objectives for which we could not find engineering lessons availableon the web.

Although a number of models have been developed in this topic by many academics,developing “critical thinking skills” can be a long and arduous process. In particular, thedevelopment of higher education program level critical thinking skills require detailed courselevel planning, structured assignments, critical analysis of case studies, student centric learning,and guided design using tools such as simulation and gaming, communication exercises, andlaboratory experiments.
