. 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

principles for conducting research responsibly within engineering domains • Gain experience in working in research teams and communicating with individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and research disciplines • Reflect on their initial research experience and develop goals for the remainder of their undergraduate research appointmentAll course materials were available via the university’s online learning platform on the first dayof the semester, and students had until the last day of final exam week to submit assignments andearn points for the course. Students were able to “build their own course” by selectingassignments and activities that best fit their academic, research and personal goals

The course learning objectives began through a multi-institution FacultyLearning Community, with the detailed development of the course taking place at a singleinstitution, Kettering University, under the auspices of a grant from the university’s teachingcenter.Course Learning Objectives and PrerequisitesThe course learning objectives were initially set forth within a Faculty Learning Community(FLC) focused on undergraduate research advising. This FLC included both two-year and four-year institutions, with faculty coming from a range of different academic disciplines. Discussionsamong the faculty members focused on what aspects of research were most important andneeded to be understood before students were able to be effective on

study was the experience of participating in engineeringresearch as either an undergraduate student researcher or graduate student mentor. Both graduateand undergraduate students were interviewed during this study to understand the effect of thephenomenon of research on the participants. These interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner such that the interviewer was free to ask the participant to expand on pointsthat might hint to their feeling of efficacy toward engineering practice. The interview questionsfocused on the student’s feelings toward engineering research and how they personally felt theirabilities were influenced by their experience.During the initial phase of this study, four interviews were conducted and coded [1

The stipend funds come from a variety of different sources includingmoney from the university earmarked for experiential learning experience, departmentendowment funds, Chip Camp tuition income, and industrial sponsors.5. Discussion and ConclusionsThe undergraduate research program called IMMERSE has four key aspects. (1) Single pointentry with an online application process provides a better way for advertising of the program. Italso provides more efficient initial research training. (2) Authentic research is attained byplacing undergraduate researchers into existing projects, maintaining a reasonable student-faculty ratio, and providing for a

. Scholars have created many models of the engineeringdesign/innovation process, many of which include practices from initial understanding of projectspecifications all the way through product delivery. As our purpose was a model that could beinterpretable and digestible to undergraduate engineering researchers, we distinguish betweenonly three practices central to engineering innovation: designing, running tests, and analyzingresults (the latter two are sometimes combined in lab or technical courses16).In our model, the practice of designing entails problem scoping, problem framing, and solutiongenerating17, 18. It requires defining problems or research questions that are not only interestingbut also important, and assessing the impact of possible

Results from our surveys suggest that students appreciate these activitiesand find that the activities address the needs they have related to scientific communication.These findings demonstrate that formalizing knowledge transfer in an experiential environmentusing a community of practice is possible by integrating regular, structured activities.This project is still ongoing and will continue to evolve with the feedback and initiative of labmembers.

The research team then discussed potential changes with thefacilitators and made adjustments to the design before re-running the virtual internship again.
