However, despiteadvances in classroom design for interactive teaching and pockets of enthusiastic adopters, thechallenge to bridge the gap from research results to common classroom practice remains.Workshops to introduce evidence-based teaching practices are prevalent, but one-time effortsrarely result in sustained change, and hence ongoing support is needed [2], [3].The study presented in this paper takes place in the context of the SIMPLE Design model forfaculty development, which was studied in implementation over a two-year period [4].

These senior students have experienced all thecomputational modules throughout their curriculum and, therefore, best represent the studentsaffected by the SIIP project. This survey was distributed in the Materials Design course (MSE395), which is a required course for all senior MSE students. The survey focuses on three majorparts: (1) Computational learning experience; (2) Research and job hunting experience; and (3)Attitude towards computational tools. We received 32 responses out of a class of 103students.5.1 Computational learning experienceTo understand the influence of computational modules on student learning throughout thecurriculum, we asked the following three questions

To remedy this situation, faculty couldrecommend to these students to visit research labs of different faculty members and volunteer toconduct a short research project. This short research project could be defined by faculty membersas a senior design project for a student team that would be conducted over two academic termsand require 10 hours work per week. The method of involvement of undergraduate students inresearch by faculty members may be one of the key determining factors to motivate them tocontinue their education.

According to a recent report byAlan Grose for the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, there is growingevidence that internships are among the most beneficial out-of-classroom learning experiencesavailable to students (Grose, 2017).

Previous research hasshown that significant factors influencing choice of major for college students include (1)general interest subject; (2) family and peer influence; (3) assumptions about introductorycourses, (4) potential job characteristics, and (5) characteristics of the major. The student'sdecision on choice of major is often difficult because traditional university-aged students havelittle to no direct experience with the engineering profession or practicing engineers. Someuniversities confront this problem with a common first-year engineering experience, whereinengineering majors are given the opportunity to explore the specialty areas and make a
