The undertaking was distinctive in that it was an engineering projectconducted at a liberal arts college by undergraduate students enrolled in the college’sengineering program. A multidisciplinary research team was assembled, composed of studentsmajoring in civil, chemical and mechanical engineering.It should be emphasized that this seven-week program was designed to serve primarily as alearning experience for the student researchers

Participatory Action Research Model that ultimatelyends with continual program enhancement. The structure of the initiative is not only based on the detailsof the schedule but also on the feedback of the participants. The lack of URMs in the college provokedan idea from personal experiences at other minority events. With the use of a systematic onlinedocument review of current weekend outreach programs, a plan of action was developed, and effectiveprogram designs were synthesized.Based on the systematic review of similar programs, the current plan is to implement a program inFebruary of 2020 that will target about 30 participants.

Cooperative and Experiential Education

. IntroductionThis evidence-based paper assesses strategies for Research Experience for Undergraduates(REU) social program success. REU programs typically bring together students from across thecountry – or even around the world – to a university campus for the summer. While at thisuniversity, the students learn how to conduct real research in their discipline by actually doing it,under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Giving students exposure to conducting bona fideresearch allows them to determine whether they may be interested in pursuing a research career(and, to support this, continuing on to graduate-level education).Many students who participate in REU programs remember these programs long after theprogram is complete. The initial experience

After coding the interview, the research team grouped similar and redundant codes intolarger themes. The coding and grouping process was then repeated for the 2018 and 2017 datasets, adding codes to the existing themes when appropriate and creating new themes whennecessary.

In the first two years of the REU project, even though weobserved that the undergraduate research scholars were interested and motivated about theresearch projects, they had no idea about the applications of those technologies or if they wantedto take these ideas to the market. Further, very few of the REU scholars from the initial yearswere interested in applying to our graduate program. Therefore, it was decided to revamp andmodify our approach to the structure of the REU program during the third year of the project.REU project student statisticsStudents were
