understanding of their discipline[11],development of skills related to experimental and laboratory procedures[12], and developingcommunication skills and the ability to present technical work to a general audience[13]. Lastly,undergraduate research can increase students’ interests in their field of study which can be a keyfactor to improve undergraduate retention, not to mention the potential for the student tosignificantly contribute to the faculty’s research [14].Like REU programs, NSF Research Experience for Teachers (RET) programs have existed formany years, and result in numerous documented positive outcomes for the participants[15]. RETprograms can help teachers to keep abreast of changes in their fields, help expose their students tocutting edge

is an increasing awareness that equipping students with technical knowledge in theirchosen disciplines is insufficient. Researchers, educators, and industries are beginning torecognize the importance of communication, teamwork, leadership, critical thinking, and manyother skills that enable an individual to perform more effectively and harmoniously in real-worldworking situations [1]. These social-relation interpersonal skills, or soft skills, are increasinglydemanded in today’s competitive global market [2]. For instance, Klaus [3] found 2010). Theimportance of soft skills has been well documented by the literature [4].The development of soft skills is imparted through applications and experience of socialinteractions, which relies on the

students further develop both hardware andsoftware skills while researching. For the project, students focused on the Arduino Mega Board.Some of the expected outcomes for the project include: 1) understand the physical boardcomponents; 2) learn how to attack the board using the STRIDE technique; 3) create a DataFlow Diagram (DFD) of the system using the Microsoft threat modeling tool; 4) understand theattack patterns; and 5) generate a threat model based on the user's input.The goal of threat modeling is to prevent future threats and attacks from taking advantage ofsystems vulnerabilities. This method allows the analysis of potential attackers, including theirgoals and techniques, while also providing solutions and mitigation strategies. Although

have had more students inquire about independent study andresearch opportunities after this semester than any other prior.Students also responded favorably to the alternative structure of lab sessions. At the end of thesemester, students were anonymously surveyed for general feedback on the course. Responsespertaining to the laboratory portion of the course were evaluated on a five-point Likert scale,ranging from “never” (one) to “always” (five) (Figure 2). Eighty-seven percent of studentsfound the smaller in-person lab groups to be at least “usually” enjoyable and 88% of studentsfound the more intimate setting to be at least “usually” beneficial to their learning. Thirteen outof the 32 students who submitted the survey also submitted positive

The motivation for moving to agraduate research group model for the class was to give the students a microcosm of graduateresearch group experience.The goals of implementing this model were to increase capabilities, skills, and learning needed to 1. Digest and disseminate new information in a clear and organized manner 2. Select appropriate illustrations and exercises to teach the topic to others 3. Critically evaluate a research journal article from the literature 4. Delve deeply into a topic of interestThe model was implemented in an upper level environmental engineering class of eight students.Course

professional preparation course is designed to address these challenges. Given its non-technical nature, it is a 1-credit course. Given the need for time to interact with practicingengineers, it is a 3-contact hour course with a 50-minute lecture and a 110-minute lab/seminarperiod. The requisites to the course include successful completion of Physics I and currentenrollment in Technical Writing, both of which are taken in the second semester of study. It is acorequisite to several 300 level courses, giving students two semesters in which to take thiscourse. The course is taught by a single full-time faculty member once annually. The facultyconducts a majority of the lectures, and invites other full-time faculty as guests to talk about
