At the beginning of the semester, PUREactively recruits both graduate and undergraduate students and facilitates the mentor-menteematching process. Then, over the course of the semester, the graduate student research mentorguides the undergraduate student through an educational research project. For manyundergraduate participants, PURE provides their first real exposure to

were more likely to emphasizegains in personal and professional growth, such as increased research confidence, ability tocontribute to science, opportunities to present research, and networking opportunities. Facultymembers were more likely to discuss benefits in terms of student responsibility, intellectualengagement, initiative, independent critical thinking and professional socialization.Findings from this literature should be interpreted with caution as the benefits of undergraduateresearch depend on the contextual factors within which the research takes place. One of thesecontextual factors is a careful fit between student interests and experiences and programofferings, in particular the quality of faculty mentoring. Barker17 noted that a

The two main objectives are: (1) todevelop the abilities of the students to do scientific research, and (2) to improve the technicalcommunication skills of the students in the areas of reading, writing, and speaking. The projectsinclude a field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a video compressionalgorithm, acceleration of a sparse FFT algorithm involving general purpose graphicalprocessing units (GPGPUs), computer modeling of a red fire ant colony, and low-powerencryption circuits with differential power analysis (DPA) immunity.

guidance. By allowing the senior design team to completesuch tasks as problem definition and project scheduling, essentially on their own, theundergraduate students effectively decided the level and type of design work that they would beundertaking. This method of integration ensures that the design aspect of the senior designproject is not taken away from the undergraduate students.From Mentor to Team MemberThe transition time from graduate mentor to integrated team member is something that must bedecided on a project by project basis. It is suggested that following the initial planning phase ofthe senior design project, the graduate student may be integrated into the team in order to helpwith the burden of initial research and solution

education ripe for systematic literaturereview [1]. Researchers have previously used SLR to investigate students’ perceptions ofteaching activities in electric circuits courses [4].More recently, another work sought to use SLR to establish which “evidence-based instructionalapproaches” have been used in circuits instruction [6]. This paper was narrow in the scope of itsSLR, as the researchers used “evidence-based instructional practices”, or EBIPs, as a keyword intheir initial search of the literature (resulting in an initial paper pool of only 24 papers). Theover-specificity of the search criteria used in [6] limits the scope of the SLR and provides anincomplete picture of research in introductory circuits education. Our paper strives to

As multi-institutional centers with a 10-year potential NSF funding cycle, ERCs are well suited to fosterinter-institutional collaboration with core and outreach partner institutions over the course ofmany years. To encourage the development of programmatic linkages as part of each Center’sdiversity strategic plan, the NSF offered all active ERCs the opportunity to submit proposals forthe development of programs which create linkages between research centers and large-scaleNSF human resource development initiatives. For CPES, this program solicitation representedthe opportunity to expand linkages with the NSF’s Louis Stokes Alliance for MinorityParticipation (LSAMP) program.

The audience, particularly faculty new toundergraduate research, should obtain a well-seasoned perspective of the issues, including specificrecommendations, strategies, and pitfalls to avoid.Background:The author began establishing a research program shortly after commencing his academic careerin 1982 at Arkansas State University in a new, purely undergraduate Bachelor of Science inEngineering (BSE) program with professional concentrations in civil, electrical, and mechanicalengineering. This was at a university that historically had been strongly teaching-oriented, andhad no doctoral-level programs. Since he was initially the only electrical engineer on the faculty,initial teaching loads were 12-13 semester credit hours, usually

In collaboration with NASA’sColumbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) and other universities developing scientificballooning payloads, a sophisticated scientific payload was designed to study how the angularasymmetry and intensity of cosmic rays changes with altitude, as well as conducting a high‐quality,long‐exposure measurement at balloon-float altitudes for about 10 hours. The payload wasdesigned by following a top-down design approach: initially establishing engineering requirementsof the payload for the experiment, carrying out functional

Allthese complex features of project management reflect the dynamic and complex nature of thereal world. While the teaching and learning of project management in an undergraduatecurriculum can only focus on the fundamentals, appreciation of these complex facets of realworld project management is valuable and can be attainable through more open-ended seniorcapstone projects such as an undergraduate research project.A Stage-Gate Structure of Engineering and Technology Capstone ProjectsProject management should be introduced early in the student’s development so that the
