There consequently is an emerging body of literature that has examined theimpact of the REU program on students’ early engagement in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM), persistence and retention in a STEM major, and integration into STEMculture [3]. Yet, little is known about how the program supports students and how students learnthrough their research experiences. The extent to which the design of the REU programs haverelied upon existing studies has also been questioned by National Academies of Science,Engineering, and Medicine [2]. A joint report emphasized the need to investigate the mechanismsfor how the REU program works, why they work

While history has provided useful metrics to evaluate research (refereedjournal publications, funded proposals, theses advised, etc), proper assessment of teaching ismore elusive.

This project wasintroduced in a course that previously lacked authentic physical design due to the limited accessto prototyping equipment. Prior student projects were confined to design and computer modelingand simulation elements only, with hands-on activities restricted to measurement-based labs. Thenew project incorporated concept development by the students along with physical prototyping oftheir design using and a combination of reusable components and disposable inexpensive supplies.The

students.13-17 Critics have stated that such methods detract from the time available for presenting new material to their classes, but proponents counter with evidence that active learning exercises allow instructors to cover at least the same amount of material as a traditional class, if not more.18 One area that seems very appropriate for the application of these ideas is in mathematics courses taught to an exclusively engineering audience. An example of such a situation is a course on probability and statistics taught exclusively for electrical and computer engineers. Since the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology specifically requires electrical and computer engineers to demonstrate an ability to apply the laws of probability and

Such a restriction could impair students' ability to approach engineering challenges in various sectors with flexibility or to adapt to new technologies. • Assessment and Evaluation: Evaluating students' competencies in both programming and mathematical analysis introduces a layer of complexity to the grading process. It may become challenging for educators to discern if students' difficulties arise from programming, understanding mathematical principles, or integrating both. This complexity risks masking the true nature of students' learning challenges, potentially complicating the provision of effective support. 3. Course Overview:The "Mathematical Analysis" course at

Fortunately, the ME faculty at Montana StateUniversity were sympathetic to journaling, and agreed to re-institute them if I could providesupport. To date, I know of no other study that uses journals to investigate design processes(although certainly design journals are in use in many design courses7-9), so this is new territory.We’ve collected journals for three semesters (Fall 2000, Spring 2001, and Fall 2001) and nowhave over 70 journals on 21 projects.
