benefits of research opportunities for undergraduate students includingincreased student engagement in their education [1-3], enhanced research and laboratory skills,improved academic performance [1-5], increased student self-efficacy [6,7], and increasedunderstanding and interest for their discipline [1-4,8]. These studies also show that early andmultiple exposures to undergraduate research experiences offer the greatest benefit. Developingsuccessful research programs is particularly challenging in community colleges, most of whichdo not have on-going research programs. Establishing collaborations between researchuniversities and community colleges is key to engaging students in research early in college.In 2015, Cañada College, a federally

These results were not uniformly distributed among the teacher participants. Datacollected during this period was insufficient to demonstrate that the program led to the perceived changesin teacher practice, and it did not indicate what changes the teachers made. At this point in the programthe primary focus of the data collection was teacher and student learning. Measuring changes in teacherinstructional practices was of secondary interest.

By providing astate-of-the-art learning environment, technicians and technologists can become morecompetitive within the workplace. The project will help community colleges and 2- and 4-yearuniversity-based technical programs to update curricula to meet the expectations of industry bysupplying qualified technicians and technologists who have extensive hands-on experience withcurrent design tools. By developing a curriculum that includes hands-on re-configurableelectronics laboratories, we will be able to provide students in these programs state-of-the-arttraining tools that match the expectations of industry.FPGAsFPGAs were created approximately 15 years ago by the
