controls. To meet this challenge, the authors took a student centeredapproach to the course design as well as active learning pedagogy. From this approach the coursewas structured where students work through theory and hands-on labs each class period. Thisinfused basic electrical theory and instrumentation with Arduino-based sensors and controlalgorithms, and has allowed alignment of every day of the course with multiple student learningoutcomes. In this work the authors present student outcomes of the approach. These are informedby methods of formative and summative assessment as well as evidence of achievement throughregular informal student feedback, course evaluations, observations, and focus groups. The assessment strategy has included
instructional support programs for faculty, providing evaluation support for educational proposals and projects, and working with faculty to publish educational research.

Raspuzzi received his Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University and an inaugural Master in Design Engineering from Harvard University–where his projectEMMA: Maternal Healthcare Coachearned him the MDE 2018 Thesis Prize. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 A Model for Immersive Summer Experiences with Significant Research and Leadership ElementsAnas Chalah, Harvard UniversityFawwaz Habbal, Harvard UniversityMichael Raspuzzi, Harvard UniversityIntroductionOne aspect of engineering education is to enable students to participate in addressing open-ended
engineering outreach, the first-year engineering experience, and incorporating innovation and entrepreneurship practice in the engineering classroom. Additionally, he has research experience in the areas of automation and control theory, and system identification. His work has been published through the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE); he is an active member of both organizations. He serves as advisor to the student entrepreneurship club and as the State Partner for the FIRST LEGO League Program—a nationally recognized program that incorporates robotics with innovation and community engagement. He holds a PhD and BS in Electrical

Her research interests include the reform of engineering practice education and teaching, and the innovation and entrepreneurship education. She mainly teaches 8 experimental-related public elective courses, with an average of 800 students per year, covering 44 engineering majors in 14 schools. Besides, she instructed students to
opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurship? Traditional educational labs focuson teaching specific laboratory techniques or to experimentally demonstrate key theoreticalconcepts.1,2 While important and necessary, this often does not lend itself to design. Examples ofthese include introductory chemistry and physics labs, in addition to many sophomore and juniorlevel engineering courses. On the other hand, design labs encourage creativity but are oftenlimited to specific courses, which in turn limits the breadth of resources available. For example, alab tied to electronics design would be held in a “dry” electronics lab and a lab tied tomechanical design would be held in a “dry” machining lab. Often, with both laboratory models,extensive time is
