conducted an undergraduate research project “Proposing a New Study inNon-Invasive Amperometric Glucose Sensing Technology through the NYC-LSAMP SummerFellowship Program” – with a freshman student. Since a non-invasive method of monitoringblood glucose would present major advantages over existing methods which use invasivetechnologies, our group has studied the possibility of using a novel sensing technology, anamperometric glucose sensor, based on the information derived from the relationship betweenglucose molecules and their electrochemical impedance within physiologic glucose levels.Changes in glucose concentrations can be monitored by measuring the impedance within awide range of frequencies in order to optimize the impact of glucose solution

technologyincrease the chances of them graduating due to positive first semester engagements with thecontent; does mobility of content and dynamic classroom technology increase course objectiveretention and problem solving abilities?Further research and study on the perceived discovery that by using new technologies in theclassrooms students view themselves as early adopters and trendsetters, subsequently makestechnology a motivator for success. A key area is how such technologies impact students on themargins of passing and not passing the class, both short and long term. This research needs tofocus specifically on whether such an effect exists and how it relates to the Hawthorne effect but issubstantially different in nature as its key motivator is the
seminars,internships, learning communities, and capstone projects compared to only two anecdotalreferences to study aboard.This paper postulates that ABET’s Student Outcome 3(h) “the broad education necessary tounderstand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context” and Student Outcome 3(i) "a recognition of the need for, and an ability toengage in lifelong learning" are not mutually exclusive but rather interdependent and mutualisticin nature. Outcomes by their very nature describes what students should know or can do by thetime of graduation. The implication is therefore, that lifelong learning and a global perspectivemust originate within the 4-year engineering curriculum/program. The

capstone project offers a complex engineeringproblem that acts as a catalyst for greater educational practices [7]. To better the reputation of theuniversity and future graduates, it is in the best interest of the university to bring its students tothe highest level of competency using the resources available to the university. Students areallowed to prove their industry readiness through their quality and industry-applicable capstoneprojects [4]. In addition to a university's motivation for administering a multidisciplinary capstoneproject, there is plenty of motivation for the professors who will act as the multidisciplinaryadvisors for the project. A professor's motivation is likely to lie within the professor's research orfield of study

]. Ahmadi et al., for example,compared formal and informal education strategies on doctoral students’ socialization and foundone of the most crucial factors was their interaction with experts in their disciplinary community[3]. Although studies such as Ahmadi’s help us to better understand novice-expert interactionswithin enculturation, much of the empirical research centers on graduate and internationalstudents as novices, despite the fact that there are other novices, such as undergraduates, whocomprise a significant portion of the emerging members of the discipline or profession.Additionally, much of the research focuses on the processes students go through to learn theconceptual knowledge, research processes, or writing norms of their
