In this study, we apply supervised learning algorithms to data describing the synthesis ofZnO via plasma–assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). One of the advantages to PAMBEmaterial synthesis is the ability to perform in–situ reflection high–energy electron diffraction(RHEED), which offers real–time information about the

conceptualizing their ideas and starting prototyping, students did not create asrobust of learning modules as we had hoped. The students have continued to improve their projectsafter the semester ended, producing three paper drafts that share their classroom activities and havebeen submitted to the ASEE conference [16], [17], [18]. Eight students decided to stay on thisclinic project for the spring semester, demonstrating high engagement with the project overall.Their documentation efforts also forced our students to think deeply about the LOs and how theseactivities can be implemented. We are looking forward to seeing the outcomes of their continuedengagement and the refinement of their educational activities.Survey Outcomes. Seven of the ten students
