At Drexel University, mechanicalengineering and engineering technology majors must fulfil this requirement during sophomoreyear. STAR students are recruited at the conclusion at their freshman year. Consequently, as afreshman, rising sophomore, the student will be getting a head start on the material of the courseby working on and completing this research project.During undergraduate research projects, students gain in-depth knowledge in a particular area

REU’s typically mirror the laboratory experience of advanced level graduates,with undergraduates working closely with graduate student mentors and situating knowledge inauthentic and novel research projects over a six-to-10-week summer program, as opposed tohighly structured classroom-style learning models.

For this reason, the author provides a list of research and design-oriented projectsto the students, rather than allowing the students to work on projects of their own choosing. These listsgenerally contain relatively simple problems for course final projects, and much more challengingproblems for capstone design, independent study, and graduate-level research. As expected, talentedstudents are encouraged to attack the more difficult (and often more interesting) problems, and lessinterested students are given projects which will help improve their understanding of the essential coursematerial.

However, this intellectual capital is now the focus of other nations because of thelack of interest of the American youth towards science and engineering [3].
