The mentoring program has been verysuccessful, as indicated by the number of return attendees and alumni of the Bio-Discoveryprogram, who recommend their younger sisters or friends to the program. According to ourassessment data, the Bio-Discovery Program has been the most rewarding part of the programfor several of the REU participants, even though it also presented a challenge, as it limits theamount of time REU students can dedicate exclusively to their research projects.

America has become indifferent to energy issues and continues to pay the higherprices without much thought. This paper will begin by examining the state of the general publicconcerning energy and its lack of energy literacy. Most people have not begun to understand thecomplex nature of the energy challenge. Poor energy literacy led the authors to submit aproposal to a local foundation in 2006 to develop an “Energy Room” at the Mayborn Museum onthe Baylor University campus. The Mayborn Museum is a facility that “provides a widespectrum of learning opportunities to engage all types of visitors.” Baylor Universityengineering students worked on several projects

While many hypothesize that students’ participation withinthese facilities has a positive impact on their educational experiences and outcomes, there is littleempirical data that describes how and to what extent individuals are impacted by exposure to amakerspace.In this paper, we seek to understand how the use of a university makerspace in a course projectimpacts students’ engineering

Students were encouraged to use advanced technologies such as 3D printing and virtualsimulation to realize their concepts. This project assisted students in identifying their own andtypical misconceptions and devise tools which corrected those cognitive errors.

engineering instructor. Assessment is a vast topic withmany options. There are generally two types of knowledge to assess: declarative and procedural.Instructors vary the assessment method depending on that category of knowledge. For example,instructors can easily measure a student’s declarative knowledge with a written exam and proceduralknowledge with a project. However, in a graduate engineering course assessing procedural knowledge ismore prevalent, since the student must apply the declarative knowledge appropriately in order to succeedin our competitive workforce. In addition to an instructor’s method to evaluate a project, both peer andself-evaluation are often used as a complement to an instructor’s evaluation. Assessing softwareengineering

This limited literature may be attributed to multiple reasons such as asignificant emphasis on mathematics and science in the first two years of engineeringcurriculum, a strictly sequential degree path, and a lack of flexibility in the programrequirements. Engineering students often report difficulty in relating the theoretical content ofthe first few semesters to actual engineering applications. This study investigates theeffectiveness of undergraduate research as a possible means of overcoming these studentperceptions. Students are introduced to well-defined research projects at an early stage of theirundergraduate degree program by adopting a scaffolding approach.

The motivation for adopting this approach is to motivate the student and give themthe understanding that circuit theory can be used to realize important goals in the projects related to theirown engineering major.

The assignment was given to 35 students across 7 teams. First,students individually scored their projects for a subset of the criteria - teams divided up criteriaamongst their members so that at least two people would score each criterion. Next, studentsdiscussed their individual responses with team members to arrive at a set of consensus scores,with written justifications, for all 14 criteria. We reviewed students’ responses forappropriateness of scores and quality written justifications as part of the structural and
