Students have a confidence and self-motivation that was fostered by this course, which can be a strong differentiating factor forpotential employers when comparing resumes. 6ConclusionThe authors’ goal was to create a course in which students could conduct undergraduate researchin the sciences at an engineering school with no science programs. A general set of learningoutcomes was constructed encapsulating what any good scientist should learn from their firstresearch experience. As detailed in the three projects presented as examples, the course has

We found that a few of the studentprojects strongly capitalized on the strengths of the research center and that some of the projectswere worthy of funding. We recommend that faculty consider offering courses in their researchareas, despite the fact that references and books may not be available. For example, as analternative, Persuall was found to be an effective tool to transmit course material to the students,and an attractive way to integrate current research and education.In conclusion, we found

resultshave direct implications for engineering curriculum design and teaching practices; in short, it iscritical that students are given reasonably difficult tasks that incorporate physical testing, aregiven time for multiple iteration cycles, and are supported as they design.IntroductionEngineering educators seek to engage learners in authentic engineering practices, includingtesting and iterating on designs (NAE and NRC, 2009). Failure is an integral part of the iterationcycle in the engineering design process; designs often fail, that is, do not meet all criteria andconstraints, and a central disciplinary practice in engineering is interpreting this failure asfeedback on those designs (Lottero-Perdue & Parry, 2014; Cunningham & Carlsen

This approach resulted in a practical and effective method ofintroducing materials selection into the design process and provided needed skills for the follow-on, senior-level capstone design course. At the end of the class, an easy-to-follow, student-written material selection reference guide (with examples) was produced to provide guidance forfuture classes and students needing a quick overview of the materials selection process and useof the
