In addition, an exploratoryproject to provide research experiences on swarm robotics to high school students was initiated. A groupof three simple mobile robots (Lego NXT) was used to study search and rescue operation. PSO was usedas the main algorithm. Figures 5(a) and (b) respectively show the two assembled LEGO NXT robots andthe paths of the swarm of three such robots [47]. Undergraduate students are also engaged as summerinterns for research experiences with university and external support.

study was the experience of participating in engineeringresearch as either an undergraduate student researcher or graduate student mentor. Both graduateand undergraduate students were interviewed during this study to understand the effect of thephenomenon of research on the participants. These interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner such that the interviewer was free to ask the participant to expand on pointsthat might hint to their feeling of efficacy toward engineering practice. The interview questionsfocused on the student’s feelings toward engineering research and how they personally felt theirabilities were influenced by their experience.During the initial phase of this study, four interviews were conducted and coded [1

The facets of translational research will bedefined, as well as differentiated from problem-based learning and service-learning.

Researchers have previously used SLR to investigate students’ perceptions ofteaching activities in electric circuits courses [4].More recently, another work sought to use SLR to establish which “evidence-based instructionalapproaches” have been used in circuits instruction [6]. This paper was narrow in the scope of itsSLR, as the researchers used “evidence-based instructional practices”, or EBIPs, as a keyword intheir initial search of the literature (resulting in an initial paper pool of only 24 papers). Theover-specificity of the search criteria used in [6] limits the scope of the SLR and provides anincomplete picture of research in introductory circuits education. Our paper strives to

This failure represents aserious disservice to our graduate students because in fact ethical problems lurk at every stage ofengineering academic life – from preparing proposals, to designing and conducting experiments,to reporting and publishing the results.
