alignment enhanced their researchexperience in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction of the research work.BackgroundIn 2020 approximately 4 million bachelor’s degrees were given in the US [1] across all academicdisciplines. According to the Council on Undergraduate Research, only 28% of undergradsengage in research [3]. However, within 10 years, approximately 40% of former undergraduatestudents enter graduate programs [2] where research capability and experience is often critical tosuccess. One study indicates that 29% of undergrads do not choose to participate in researchbecause they simply are not interested in research [3]. Possibly if research projects could betailored to be more attractive to undergraduate students, more students

Project based learning (PBL), as a part ofexperiential learning, is also well-researched [10-12]. In addition, since students work in pairs, PLis implemented.

The first year would preparestudents for College Algebra by boosting their Math proficiency and helping them acquire astrong college student identity. The second year would introduce them to college levelEngineering.The new edition of the program was offered for the first time in 2013 with only the first yearcomponent. In 2014 we offered both

Basically, the students surveyed indicated that they do not take advantage offacilities and resources BCTC provides them. As a result, some students fail to pass their classes.Those who do pass do not do learn as much as they could because of limited and inefficent timespent with course material.

The application of engineering skills to community serviceprojects distinguishes service learning from the typical internships, co-ops and fellowships thatstudents frequently seek.

Our previous research indicates that engineering design teams often follow the sameprototyping strategy used in their previous design efforts. However, research also shows that thisis not always the best decision. Careful consideration of the prototyping strategy, based on specificcharacteristics of a design project, can lead to significant benefits for the outcome of the design.This current work provides a method for informing the engineering design team regardingdecisions on when to use digital and/or physical prototypes. Physical prototyping, in this context
