Carolina A&T State University has implemented anundergraduate research program with support from corporate partnership to enhance this goal.The Intel Undergraduate Research Program involves qualified undergraduate students in hands-on research experience. Key features include a multidisciplinary student cohort that is exposed toa variety of research topics under close mentoring from interdisciplinary faculty. Over itsoffering in the past two years, this program has become a prestigious avenue for obtainingresearch experiences. Students are admitted based on competitive standards that include highGPA requirements and strong recommendations from faculty. Unique aspects of this programinclude active participation from the industry for the initial

The student researchers approached the project in multiple stages. First, they usedpencils and paper to brainstorm and design the physical dimensions of the device. They came upwith and discarded several iterations before landing on a design that they wanted to take forward.Then, they moved from pencil and paper to the computer and "SolidWorks" CAD (computeraided drafting) software that allowed them to bring their drawings to digital 3D space. Once theywere happy with their initial prototype, printing began. They quickly learned the necessity ofcost-efficient designs and

For instance, the initial results are generated assuming that the probability ofall sponsored projects under consideration is the same (0.10). Clearly, this is not usually thecase. Funding from some sources is highly competitive resulting in lowered probabilities ofawards. Other proposals may have been requested by longtime research clients and have muchhigher likelihood of approval. Altering the probabilities that proposals will be funded couldeither decrease or increase the variability of the system, depending upon whether there is more orless certainty associated with the awarding of proposals

Many brainteasers give practicein making assumptions and inferences to reveal more “knowns” than was initially apparent.Case StudiesSeveral cases were discussed based on experiences with graduate students in my research lab. Acommon problem is noisy data. I discussed one particular graph of noisy force data and the stepsthat the student took to investigate and eliminate the sources of noise. Another case involvedhardware that didn’t seem to be operating properly. I described the unusual behavior that caughtthe student’s attention and then the steps we went through to
