type of students the program does a greatgood, and what program processes and characteristics are transferable to similarprograms across the country. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact therelationships and interactions with faculty, graduate student mentors, and otherundergraduate researchers in a summer program at Oklahoma State University careerpaths. Results indicated that students knowledge and skills on material science and futurecareers, increased from the pre to post test.IntroductionUndergraduate research has been identified as an educational practice that directlyaddresses challenges facing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)education1, 7, 8. Specifically, engaging undergraduates in research is

. Using the model, the rear joint was analyzed to see the effects of joint clearance on the movement of the knee. Since these joints are the only point of wear, this is where the most of the group research went into. Too tight of joint clearances could cause the knee to seize and result in failure. However, too loose of clearances could cause the whole knee assembly to feel sloppy and rattle apart. The group has found that a joint clearance of 0.008 inches gave the knee the best results. This investigation will provide good insight for the design of prosthetic knee that is safe, reliable, and feel natural. Figure 4: Four

students to find resources and information about architecture and design. This program was the first time I was ever challenged to think with an architectural mind. The Discover Architecture workshop was the absolute best confirmation I had about deciding to attend here for Architecture!” 2012 Discover Architecture participant, and 2017 graduate of Architecture “Expect to learn a lot. I knew I was going to be introduced to architecture, but we were really immersed in it. Over the course of the week, I grew to love this university and the School of Architecture in particular. Architecture is a unique major that allows you to be both analytical and creative. Discover Architecture was a great experience, and gave

exposure. The reduction in water contact angle is closely related to the reduction in themechanical strengths. Two of the engineering students, also authors of this study, designed,developed and performed these tests on the 3D printed specimens. The BS students have usedthese research activities for their Engineer of 2020 requirements. Overall, these studies greatlybenefit undergraduate engineering students for their future academic studies in differentinstitutions.AcknowledgementsThe authors greatly acknowledge the Wichita State University for the financial and technicalsupports of this study.References[1] Cantrell, J., Rohde, S., Damiani, D., Gurnani, R., Disandro, L., Anton, J., Young, A., Jerez,A., Steinbach, D., Kroese, C., and Ifju, P.
