However, many of the coping strategies werediscussed in their workshops on self-directed learning. Self-regulation strategies such asmanaging emotions during a task, and visualizing long term goals were taught and usedeffectively by students: “I think that the best coping strategy when dealing with work-related anxiety is to write down any tasks that you are responsible for completing. This helps to visualize what has to be completed which makes it easier to make a plan for these tasks.” -AlexHowever, we did note instances where self-regulation

full concept of ethical reasoning reaches well beyond the bland admonishment to“be nice.” (To be sure, none of us knows what “nice” really means—unless, of course,the concept applies to ourselves, in which case the meaning can become quite specific.)More fundamentally, however, the ethical choice is unlikely to please all parties, andoften requires the decision maker to be un-nice to someone. This poses difficult choices,and a more formal framework can sometimes help. Such a framework for ethicalreasoning would include two basic elements: the analytical and the judgmental.2 First, Iwill speak to the analytical component—presumably the sweet spot for the engineeringmind—and later address the judgmental component.A Framework for Ethical

These studies highlight a broad spectrum, exploring not only the nature of theseexperiences but also the multiple benefits they grant to their participants [1], [2], [3], [4], [6], [9]. Thefocal points of these studies span from explaining the different UREs to understanding their impact ondiverse aspects of student learning and future goals. Exploring the outcomes, researchers have found thatUREs facilitate students’ development of fundamental research skills (e.g., data analysis,problem-solving, and critical thinking) [6], [10] [6], [10], [11].
