Similar experiments could be duplicated atmost engineering universities, enhancing the undergraduate education in this important topic thatis sometimes overlooked at the undergraduate level.A survey of students taken before and after completing the course shows that graduates of thecourse have a significantly improved understanding the stress concentration effects and theirinfluence on the stress field. These students also have a significantly increased awareness of theimportance of fatigue in engineering practice. Their appreciation of the role of stressconcentrations on overall fatigue life, while possibly improved over the students entering

He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for intro- ductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and per- sistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of undergraduate students in engineering

To comprehensively address themain research question, the study will explore the following sub-questions: • RQ1: What are the perceived weaknesses of teamwork as experienced by students? • RQ2: How do students in URPs navigate and resolve conflicts within their teams? • RQ3: What are the strengths of teamwork as perceived by students in URPs?By addressing these questions, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the roleand impact of teamwork in URPs. It seeks to offer insights into best practices for fosteringeffective teamwork in such programs and to highlight the potential areas for improvement inteam dynamics. This, in turn, can inform the design and implementation of future URPs

When interventions addressstudents directly, once they graduate there may be no lasting changes that result from theprogram. On the other hand, when faculty attitudes and mentoring practices change, the changescan last and continue to help students succeed long after the grant expires (robust design).In this paper, we describe the baseline surveys and the results from their administration

In fact, some research has found that a single internship experience cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation or choosing another field[15].
