An Undergraduate Research Experience in Engineering TechnologyAbstractTo initiate the development of an autonomous vehicle to participate in the Intelligent GroundVehicle Competition, a multidisciplinary undergraduate research course was established duringthe summer of 2005 within the Engineering Technology Department. This was the first time anundergraduate research component has been offered to students within the EngineeringTechnology Department at the University of Dayton. The course was conducted using anindependent study format with several team meetings to monitor individual student progress andto provide collaborative feedback to the students.

For African Americans, the rate is~3%, for Hispanics, the rate is ~5%, and for AI/ANs, the rate is ~1.5%. These numbers have asignificant impact on the ability of our nation‟s research force to address the complex issues ofhealth disparities24.In the rapidly growing field of genomics, the situation is even more dire. For example, in 2006,of the 2,154 graduate students in the US studying genetics, only 11 were Native American(2 were GenOM Fellows at our university and have since earned

By introspectively reflecting on our experiencesand collaborative practices as graduate students, we hope to deepen understanding of theevolving landscape of cross-disciplinary engagement in academia.Methodology This study aimed to elucidate the roles of graduate student researchers in collaborativecross-disciplinary endeavors supporting

Development of a research and practice groupfacilitates these outcomes by creating an environment to share the learning experience.
