Emerging technologies in biomedical research do not always represent new technologicaladvances.

Seminal work spanning two decades has discovered that a key to students’ pursuit of STEMfields is to develop their interest at an early age. And that “themes such as the design of robots”provide effective strategies to develop this interest. Arduino microcontroller platforms, inparticular, have been shown to encourage “tinkering,” a broad term for making in which studentsapply their knowledge creatively and iteratively to a design task [13].

been pivotal in the development of structural programs to promote research inpredominantly undergraduate institutions [2]. This has led to an increase in undergraduateresearch programs at different universities over the last 35 years.Several models for undergraduate research programs exist, in addition to REUs. These modelsinclude capstone experiences, senior theses, internships and co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences (CURES), wrap-around experiences, bridge programs, consortium/project-based programs, community-based research programs [1], [3]. However, most of these programsare relatively short-term (i.e., limited to one to two semesters) and thus constrain how deeplystudents can delve into their research.Earlier studies
