Aim and MethodologyOne of the activities planned during the visit to Cal Poly was to conduct collaborative researchon renewable energy. Under the SAME program, research was commissioned to developunderstanding of wider benefit to the faculty exchange program, to the country of faculty origin,to the host country of faculty exchange, and to investigate direct/indirect impact of the facultyexchange program. For the faculty visiting Cal Poly, the research methodologies used wereliterature study and total participation as a faculty exchange. During the 3 month visit, the facultyconducted several activities that can help her in preparing for her future research effort inrenewable energy. Examples of such activities include conducting laboratory
observe existing MHPPs inseveral areas around Malang, as well as, topographic data and hydrometric measurements ofirrigation canals. The results of field study in the form of MHPP data or MHPP potential areaswere further processed into information that is presented in the information system as potentialMHPP map. For each phase of the study a report was written as an outcome. In the second year(2013), the MHPP was designed both at laboratory scale and at a selected site in a rural area ofMalang. Additionally, an organizational structure for MHPP was also developed for operationand maintenance. An MHPP operator was selected and then trained on how to manage MHPP sothat the existing infrastructure can operate longer and provides economic benefits

], but ECE students rarely take these courses from technology departments. A survey ofthe courses offered in the ECE curriculum by the four year universities in Virginia list no coursesin PLC based control. However, there are numerous reports on innovative approached to teachPLC in engineering technology programs [11-12]. To offset these missing skills in ECEgraduates, a capstone project as a pilot course was introduced in this work. The PLC basedcontrol can effectively be taught in a hands-on laboratory setting which is the focus of this paper.. Hardware and software integration using PLCs, and active lab-based learning is more effectivein these types of courses for engineering students [13], [14].Use of industrial robots in manufacturing

Further, we are examining if mentors approach each student individuallyand are adaptable to each student's needs to promote neurodivergent students thriving.Potential LimitationsSurvey models for undergraduate research do exist, and several researchers have applied thesemodels to assess the impact of undergraduate research in the underrepresented minoritycommunity [12], [14]. There are very few survey models, if any, that have been applied to assessif neurodivergent students thrive in undergraduate research. The neurodivergent communitytypically attributes itself as a non-visible difference that isn’t always
more freedom to explore alternative/out-of-the-box designs, circumventing the link between students’ designs and their graded assessments,and to encourage students to engage the activities for the primary purpose of learning [8].In the Fall terms of 2017, 2018, and 2019, the CivE Design Days event was offered as asynchronous in-person two-day design event. Students were briefed on the event by way of ashort presentation that was delivered approximately one week in advance to provide pre-exposure and background to answer general operational questions (e.g., the laboratory location,what to bring, etc.) and to prepare students with background on the specifics of the designactivities. As shown by Lynch et al. [9], pre-exposure to content and

For example, all faculty mentorswere required to reach out to REU students 3-4 weeks before the program began. The intentionwas to set expectations for both faculty and students as well as to establish rapport. In thiscommunication, faculty mentors include details on the student project, including a rough outlineof research tasks for the summer, and a handful of articles that can orient the students within theresearch area. Other pertinent information to help with student preparation were also included,such as recommended clothing to pack for field work and any online laboratory safety
