Based on their review, they clustered the most commonly indicated benefits tostudents of such programs. These included: increased interest in specific areas of research andstudy among participating students; increased recruitment of underrepresented groups inresearch-based experiences; gains in research and research-based skills; clarification, refinement,and confirmation of educational- and/or career-related goals; increases in the understanding ofthe research process; and increases in both self-confidence of ability

The paper will describeprogram activities, research projects, outcomes, and lessons learned from a National ScienceFoundation-sponsored Research Experiences for Teachers program. Participants were recruitedfrom science, technology, engineering and math departments in high schools and collegesthroughout the U.S. Special effort was made to recruit teachers and instructors from districts andtwo-year colleges with large numbers of underrepresented minority students.

A follow-up national survey toconstruction, architecture and civil engineering faculty suggests the barriers to teach codes arethe lack of available resources and low cognitive student learning perceived in teaching about theIRC. In response to these findings an online course was developed. Students learn how codeswill influence their professional careers, identifying the difference between prescriptive andperformance based codes and communicating how codes relate to the performance of a structure.Student learning outcomes are created through multiple active learning

Likewise, in a business context, leadership skills are considered a top critical factor for acompany's success.

ABET statesthat by graduation students should have "a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage inlife-long learning."3At The Ohio State University’s Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC), students areoffered a wide range of engineering courses through the first-year engineering program and asenior-year multidisciplinary capstone program.
