pursue independent research projects duringthe first three semesters of their undergraduate experience. In this large-scale program, severalhundred freshman students in the College of Natural Sciences begin their freshman year byenrolling in a research methods course and then transition to a research stream for their second andthird semesters, in which they participate in authentic research projects as part of a laboratorygroup [10]. Students earn course credit that substitutes for required introductory courses in theirmajors. Although tenured and tenure-track faculty members set the research directions and provideguidance for the research streams, post-doctoral research educators provide day-to-day guidance,instruction, and mentoring, allowing

. 2). Prince (2004) defines active learning as requiring“students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what they are doing.” Given thesediscrepancies, the Trefny Innovative Instruction Center at the Colorado School of Mines set outto help Mines develop a shared definition of active learning. We sought to develop a tool thatwould collect large-scale data about classroom practices at the Colorado School of Mines, and totrack these practices over time.The goal of the Trefny Innovative Instruction Center is to help faculty provide students with therichest learning experience possible, so we wanted a tool that would provide one data source thatwould capture the impact we were hoping to make on the campus over time, and that would

). Going paperless proved to berelatively easy due to the professor’s technical proficiency and the type of courses taught.The focus of the majority of the professor’s assigned courses were on the developmentof technical skills within a digital environment, such as computer-aided design (CAD),programming, and graphic design. Over one academic year, which included sevencourses (six different), the professor was able to meet the original goals of the framework.Based on the end of course surveys, student feedback, and self-observations he alsobelieves that the framework was positive for the students and the start of his academiccareer. This paper presents the framework used along with lessons learned and tips forthose who are interested in embracing

an opportunity to reinforce the classroom lessons on solar energy and toapply it in a real-life situation using the same equipment as in large scale solar installations thatare becoming more prevalent across the world. Students worked with suppliers andmanufacturers to acquire equipment and testing supplies, troubleshoot devices, and to betterunderstand how solar power is harnessed in large scale operations. The students came-up withtesting scenarios to test different aspects of the system, and designed a system that could testmany different variables including panel orientation, battery charging algorithm, and chargecontroller configuration. The team was given a maximum budget of $3,000 to spend on allaspects of the system, which include
