To examine therelationship between field work and student attitudes and perception on field studies, students inan environmental engineering laboratory course were assigned a reflection paper before and afterperforming the field work exercise. Further reflection was given by the instructor of the labcourse on student’s performance, attitudes, and the instructor’s perception of the field study.Final results revealed a positive response by both students and instructors in regard to

from passiveto active learning, enhanced research and laboratory skills, and increased understanding andinterest in the discipline are some of the benefits undergraduate students gain by engaging inresearch. Therefore, “engaging the students in research” is adopted here as a major strategy toimprove their retention in STEM programs. Faculty involvement in research mentoring not onlyleads to their enrichment as teachers but also enriches them as scholars. Though theresponsibility of the tribal college (TC) faculty is primarily teaching, engaging in research anddeveloping research project situations for students, research provides them opportunities toenhance their teaching capability and professional development.

In this learning system, student teams take on the role of processdevelopment engineers. They are tasked with finding suitable input parameters to be released tohigh volume manufacturing through experiments that are completed virtually. When studentsperform experiments, the lower cognitive demand affords them the opportunity to build a richexperimental design. While not instructed to do so, most student teams inevitably resort tomodeling as a tool to progress towards completion.Student team modeling practices are
