, previous researchershave created a Kolb Learning Style (KLS) instrument that can identify which of the four Kolbcategories a student prefers. The process for this current research entails listing the researchtasks, identifying the extent to which each task falls into a Kolb category and then attempting toalign the Kolb categories of the research tasks with the students’ KLS. This is done by alteringthe process used to accomplish some of the research tasks, not by altering the task itself. Theimpact of this alignment of research tasks with KLS was assessed qualitatively throughdiscussions with the student researchers. The result, while only qualitative in this initial researchstudy, is positive. The students definitively indicated that the

This materials testing project provided numerous learningexperiences for the student researcher at each step in the process as outlined below.ASTM Familiarity & Specimen Preparation:The undergraduate researcher’s initial task was to become very familiar with the specifics of theASTM testing procedures. This included the guidance on prescribed specimen size, orientationduring testing, testing configuration and load rate, and harvesting samples immediately aftertesting for determining moisture content at the time of

One of the main reasons to offer a course on this unique topic was to developstrong synergies with a recently founded interdisciplinary research center. During the previousyear, University College London was awarded an EPSRC (United Kingdom’s Engineering andPhysical Sciences Research Council) “Frontier Engineering” Grant to form a multi-disciplinaryCentre for Nature Inspired Engineering.

The DRIEM also represents that an individual’s researcher identity exists with, and isaffected by, their multiple other identities and/or future self. The collaborative, iterative processof developing this model led to identifying four propositions: 1) Researcher identity affects and isaffected by reflection on research actions; 2) Researcher identity is fluid and can dissolve orsolidify; 3) Researcher identity and interest in research are influenced by social contexts; and 4)Students’ researcher identity and perceptions of research are influenced by their initial dispositionsand beliefs about researchers.

This initiative grew from the need to create a learningexperience for students than was more engaging than that provided by a “traditional” lecturebased engineering management course with its attendant problems of student motivation.Our innovation was to have the students undertake a feasibility study that defines and plans for aprospective baccalaureate research project. By this process, the students not only experiencemost aspects of project management but they also develop skills to prepare them for undertakinga research project. Thus it achieves two key program objectives. An integral part of thisinnovation was the

In a similar study, Hudson andRottmann [20] worked with 1403 students enrolled in the first semester of the introductoryphysics course in which they found a correlation between the final grades and a pre-coursediagnostic test of mathematical skills. They found that prior mathematical ability is a primaryinfluence on performance in the course. In a different study, Meltzer [21] analyzed differentfactors that may affect the conceptual physics learning. He found that mathematical abilities playa greater role than prior physics knowledge for students’ learning gains.

Student-driven research provides an even greater benefit, by showing that the student iscapable of creating quality work. We have seen students who initially approach the idea ofresearch as, “That’s not for people like me – that’s for the smart people,” and as they find theirniche in a group, or explore concepts on their own, move out of that trench and begin torecognize in themselves someone who can lead on a concept.
