Students noted that working in a researchlab gave them more time to process information, develop questions, and build relationships withpeers and mentors compared to their class experiences. We discuss the implications of thesefindings and offer suggestions for encouraging students’ curiosity in both class and research labsettings.

The summerresearch program is an opportunity for students who wish to conduct research, who have notsecured an internship in the industry, and most of our rising seniors will choose the internshipunless they are really interested in research.The core objective of the URSR is to immerse undergraduates in a research-intensiveenvironment, where they can apply academic theories to real-life problems and develop a deeperunderstanding of their field [9,10].

It is also common for robotics and programming to be used as a meansfor the teaching of CT skills. Hands-on approaches appear consistently across CT researchbecause they evoke experiences that make the application of CT observable, thus making theconcept more tangible [13]. Studies have also highlighted the importance of incorporating CTinto formal and informal learning settings to enhance students’ CT skills and engagement [14].While engineering has always

Facilitating thistransfer is essential for preparing students to effectively enter their workplace [3].
