computationalanalysis were compared to students who only participated in the computational research project.The initial results indicate that there was no significant difference between the survey responsesof the two groups and that a computational CURE may have similar impact without including atraditional lab component. Further study of the project design and impact on students is plannedfor future semesters.IntroductionMost CUREs have been designed for laboratory courses or for joint lecture and laboratorycourses. This model works well for investigations in molecular biology or chemistry, but manycomputational research tools are taught in a lecture course only. There is evidence that lecturecourses can also be improved with the CURE model. The Genome Solver

The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools

Stresses in the aluminum cantilever structurewere reduced by controlling sputtering deposition parameters such as thickness and power. Removalof the sacrificial photoresist layer proved to be a limiting factor because a liquid etchant was used,which lead to issues with stiction. Care was taken to optimize the process of the electro-thermalactuators and reduce the amount of stiction and overall intrinsic stress present of the device.

surveying students requires an extensive number oflaboratories (indoor and outdoor). Outdoor laboratories are used to develop skills with surveyinginstruments, teach field techniques, and reinforce concepts taught in lectures. Instructors use aconsiderable portion of the allotted time to provide an overview of the lab, which reduces thetime students can spend in the field conducting the lab. Due to the spatial nature of the tasks, it isoften difficult for students to visualize the steps to complete the labs. As a result, students areoften underprepared for the activities. In outdoor labs students move from one location toanother to collect data related to each task. During the lab students frequently have questions, butit is difficult for the

Environmental engineering faculty typically teach this topic bydescribing mathematical models that are used to quantify adsorption. This approach, by itself,may result in students having an incomplete understanding of adsorption because studentsfrequently have difficulty visualizing scientific phenomena such as the mass transfer process thatoccurs during adsorption. A hands-on laboratory experiment (cf. Speitel, 2001) where studentscollect and analyze adsorption data, may enhance students’ understanding of adsorption.Undeniably, hands-on experiences help students develop a deeper understanding of principlesstudied in and out of the classroom (Butkus et al., 2004; Pfluger
