While the course did provide studentswith a unit of credit, it did not fulfill specific graduation requirements and the pass/no pass gradedid not impact student GPA. Accordingly, the motivation for taking the class was based upon adesire for self-improvement. This study was reviewed and approved to be in compliance withfederal regulations regarding the protection of human subjects (IRB project number 130252SX).Students who signed the IRB consent form also completed a survey about their experiences inthe course.The initial enrollment in MAE7 was 75 students, but not all students showed up

The graduate students had the opportunity tolearn about research activities through online workshops and then immediately implement theseideas. First, the graduate students practiced interviewing and using the protocol by practicingwith another graduate student. Next they transcribed and analyzed the interview with theirpioneer, and finally, the graduate students authored a profile about their pioneer.

The goal is to accelerate the students’ progress toward achieving advanced degrees.Our project is in synergy with this effort and will positively impact the engineeringundergraduate program. Each proposed new course will be an elective offered for bothundergraduate and graduate students; once enrolled, undergraduate students can learn from andwork with graduate students in the same course, allowing them to experience graduate study.These courses will also provide undergraduate students with opportunities to participate inadvanced research and create a pathway to graduate study. All of the courses developed will beopen to the entire college. The new

and science inquiry to improve learning16.Furthermore, the new Common Core Math Standards call for students to practice applyingmathematical ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges. Those real world challengesnaturally exist when engineers use math to explain science and design technologies, products,and processes to positively impact society6. Ohio adopted the new standards on June18, 2010 forfull implementation to take effect the 2013-2014 school year21.Research has shown that student-centered learning approaches are efficacious in improvingstudent learning11.

For such students, some of the benefits for high-achievingstudents, such as increased likelihood of graduate school attendance, may not beappropriate measures of a successful experience. Through surveys and interviews ofstudents who have engaged in undergraduate research experiences in engineering, wehave developed a preliminary definition of a successful research experience.Specifically, a successful research experience for these students should develop the skillsnecessary for these students to be practicing engineers, increase their confidence

In particular, thedevelopment of higher education program level critical thinking skills require detailed courselevel planning, structured assignments, critical analysis of case studies, student centric learning,and guided design using tools such as simulation and gaming, communication exercises, andlaboratory experiments.
