The research theme for this program is energy: specifically,catalysis, energy storage, and biofuels due to the pronounced expertise in these areas at LSU. Amajor strength of this REU program is the partnership with the LSU Business & TechnologyCenter which provides the REU students with training in technology transfer fundamentals andhow to pitch scientific ideas to non-scientists. In addition to the entrepreneurship training, theprogram offers weekly seminars in ethics, effective presenting, applying to graduate school,industrial safety, and topical seminars related to three main research areas of the programs.

RP takes information from the 3D CAD database and manufactures solidmodel (prototypes) of the design. One can turn a design concept into a prototype, test it for fitand forms, and even simulate product performance without excessive cost and time of traditionalprototyping. The advantages of RP are the following6: -provides form, fit and functionality requirement. - clear visualization of the

A critical obstacle to this goal,however, is the lack of familiarity that students in each discipline have for the other fields ofstudy, making a thorough understanding of overall robotics design principles quite difficult.This paper presents a model for multidisciplinary cooperation that alleviates this problem andelevates robotics to a potentially pivotal position in engineering education.I.

is viewed as aneffective approach to developing scientific, mathematical, and technological talent and creativity(Nowak and Plucker, 1999). PBL means learning is student-centered with teachers acting primarilyin the role of facilitators (COSI, 2004; Samford University, 2004; San Diego State University,2004). Students are encouraged to actively work with material and turn to the teacher for advice,mentorship, and answers to specific problems instead of being a passive recipient of lectures. As aresult, students assume greater responsibility for their own learning and are free to engageproblems as deeply as they like. Further, students work in small groups to develop multiplesolutions to problems. In this fashion the students are able to learn
