, but expect the students to generate the procedures to solvethe problem.[2] Although all four types of experiments have value, inquiry experiments tend tobe the closest to what is typically seen in graduate level and professional research. Unfortunately,these experiments can be difficult to offer and administer in the undergraduate curriculum due tolimited time and space, and the less controlled nature of these type of experiments. The challengethen becomes one of making labs as open ended and unscripted as possible within the constraintsof the course and the available resources.Abdulwahed and Nagy developed a model for developing laboratory experiences that relied onKolb’s experiential learning cycle.[3] Kolb’s learning cycle describes moving

. Current US engineering education requires contributions from both science andengineering study on the one hand, and from the arts,humanities and social sciences onthe other. These parts of our “two cultures” are better received when they can be relatedone to another. This theme was voiced strongly four decades ago by Samuel Florman inhis Engineering and the Liberal Arts, where he argued3 that “unless the liberal arts can beapproached through engineering, they will seem lifeless and frivolous to those of us whoare professional engineers.” Teachers of writing agree with Florman’s insistence thatstudents work relate to their disciplinary focus. For example, the editors Leithauser and

Some of the more successfuland well known workshops supported by educational research are Richard Felder’sworkshops (12 hits) and the ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Workshop (135 hits).

High-quality and effective mentorship has long beenrecognized as essential for graduate and postdoctoral training [26, 27], resulting in mutuallypositive outcomes like research productivity as measured by journal publications. However, thevast majority of faculty have received little or no training in effective mentorship [19], despite theavailability of evidenced-based mentorship training [28-30], with some studies highlighting
