Theopportunity to conduct undergraduate research develops students’ technical writing skills, buildsunderstanding of industry terminology and technology as well as efficiency of operatingexperimentation apparatuses. The paper further elaborates on the importance of incorporatingundergraduate research into the curriculum as this will prepare students to be socially, critically,and professionally adequate as they confidently enter the engineering work force and/or pursuehigher education. Undergraduate research not only adds a wealth of knowledge to the individual,but teaches patience, ethics, and discipline when applying processes and procedures and designingstandards that must be upheld because of the responsibility as professionals to protect the well
