Considering previous research, the Translational Application ofNanoscale Multiferroic Systems (TANMS) research center designed, implemented and assesseda comprehensive REU program to engage students in research during both the academic year andsummer months. TANMS’s REU is an eight-week research experience for undergraduates frommultiple 4-year universities and community colleges. The program components include researchin one of TANMS laboratories, seminars on ethics and diversity, workshops on entrepreneurship,and social events. These activities are woven into an experience to instill sixteen specific skillsthat were grouped into five core categories: I) communication (2 skills); II
well as differential equations (which is a co-requisite.) Since Matlab/Mathcadprograms are available in our computer laboratory, these are used throughout the course. Thetextbook by Kamen & Heck [1] is used for the course and students can access the accompanyingtextbook website. It should be noted that some class examples use both Mathcad and Matlab butthe textbook uses Matlab only. In our program we also have a senior-level elective course onfilters using the software tool called WFilter accompanying the textbook [2]. As engineeringeducators teaching undergraduate, first year graduate courses we are all aware that these toolsshould be used at the right time, right place to help student understanding and learning.

theirfuture courses.IntroductionProject-based learning (PBL) is a dynamic method to inspire students to obtain a deeperunderstanding of the subjects, apply and integrate knowledge they are studying. Through PBL,students build a broader base of knowledge and skills to innovative solutions [1]. It places a lot ofweight on students’ involvement during their study. The approach is usually used in junior orsenior design courses. Undergraduate students sometimes get a sense of boredom with theory inlower level course classrooms. PBL functions to reduce a sense of boredom and lack of purposeor relevance for students. It teaches students to explore and solve real-world problems andencourages students’ desire to learn. Students who are curious and interested
producedmicrocontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi that provide robust capabilities for sensing,control and communication. These tools are useful for both teaching and research in fieldsoutside of ECE, but require the traditional understanding of basic electrical circuits andprogramming methodology in order to be effective. This dilemma led to development of a coursefor non-engineers to allow such technologies to be used effectively. Students participated from adiverse array of fields, including agriculture, animal science, biology, finance, fine arts, physicsand statistics. The pedagogical approach used was a combination of traditional short lectures,hands-on small lab projects performed in two-person student teams, and a team-selected specialproject
