The top five LMCs were: (1) Assignment Overloads; (2) Lack of In-Person PeerInteractions; (3) Uncaring Professors; (4) Lack of In-Person Professor Interactions; and (5)Lack of In-Person Laboratory Experiences. Significant relationships existed between threecharacteristics (GPA, classification, and age) and few LMCs to include assignment overloads.Students tended to attribute lowered motivation to Institutional and Domestic challenges whichwere typically out of their control, rather than to Personal challenges which were typicallywithin their control.

This paper will describe some of these projects and how the entireclass, as well as all engineering students, are introduced to the emerging technologyassociated with these projects. IntroductionIn episode 1410 of the “Engines of Our Ingenuity,”1 John Lienhard states, “The Greek word tecnh (pronounced techne) describes art and skill in making things. Tecnh is the work of a sculptor or a stonemason, a composer, or a clock-maker. Ology is the study or the lore of something. Technology is the knowledge of making things. Some argue that we shouldn't call our species Homo sapiens or the-wise-people, but rather Homo technologicus

Within the College of Engineering and AppliedSciences, the goal is to focus the Honors experience on undergraduate research with an aim ofbroadening research opportunities and competitiveness of student applications for summerresearch programs, NSF REUs, internal/external research funding applications, participation inundergraduate research conferences, and preparing the students for graduate school. Historically,many students (inside and outside of the honors program) have received credit for completingundergraduate research, but this is often a “stand-alone” course with no additional preparation andill-defined outcomes. While this approach may provide a laboratory experience

Itwas also hypothesized that experiences in laboratory and professional environments wouldstrengthen the desire of the REM students to transfer to the University of Arkansas and pursueSTEM careers. Finally, the program will also increase the visibility of the Membrane ScienceEngineering and Technology (MAST) Center (a National Science Foundation Industry andUniversity Cooperative Research Center) and careers in science and engineering amongundergraduate students at NWACC and the Northwest Arkansas region. MethodsThe program was structured such that the program managers consisted of two faculty

One course (ECE 383) also had a laboratory component with studentsattending and completing 8 laboratories during the semester. Each course was designed by theinstructor for a face-to-face delivery with initial syllabi and student learning objectives providedby the department (so these courses were not new courses for the instructor to develop).

This leads to the instructor either gathering all students around the equipment for ademonstration, or scheduling students to use the equipment at different times. When there is onlyone piece of lab equipment, students often become disengaged. Studies in mechanicalengineering have demonstrated that laboratory experiments conducted with smaller, lessexpensive equipment in small groups greatly increased student engagement3,4,5. Smaller, lessexpensive desktop modules may help improve student engagement and provide students withmore hands-on experience.In this study, we developed 5 small, desktop constructed wetlands modules.
