Student survey results show that they can help inattainment of all 11 ABET criterion 3 outcomes. ABET is the accrediting agency forengineering and technology. Statistical analysis of the survey results divided the 11 outcomesinto 11 groups, technical development and professional development. Case studies can makestrong contributions to both components. The impact is definitely affected by the type of course,and there also seemed to be a difference in impact between lower and upper division courses.This suggests that failure cases have greater impact after students have achieved a higher level ofmaturity and a

Students were asked to review prior REU posters archived on NEESacademy(powered by NEEShub) and select several posters based on several criteria. They were toidentify a poster they thought was an excellent example and to find posters that related to theirresearch and/or research interest. They were then to meet with a peer inside QuakeQuest at atime they mutually defined. Once in the world they met in a private conversation area andshared their thoughts and ideas about the posters they found from
