Introduction Research experience for undergraduates is of great importance not only for conductingresearch on a topic that has impact on a current research activity, but also as a tool to enhanceundergraduate education1-3. For the engineering technology students, research experiences allowthem to carry out in-depth study of engineering concepts, while emphasizing hands-onexperiences and practical applications. Participating in funded research projects strengthens thestudent’s resume, and fulfills the requirements of present day employers, who demand soundengineering skills in their employees.

Involving undergraduates in research also encourages themto pursue graduate education. The National Science Foundation (NSF) 1 has establishedthe Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program in its efforts to recruitdiverse talented students to engineering and science.

Research Internships in Science andEngineering (RISE) serves women in the higher-educational pipeline: incoming first yearstudents, undergraduates and graduate students. This program has two tracks. For incoming firstyear students, there is a ten-day orientation to engineering, the sciences and the UM community.The goal is to jump-start the careers of female students by providing them with teamwork andtechnical skills training and networking opportunities with both female faculty and each other, aswell as exposure to research in STEM fields.

Introduction Undergraduate research should be an important part of our Engineering Technology (ET)curriculum because it better prepares our students for the graduate school. This additionalexperience also helps our majors in their career regardless of the job type because they learn towork independently as undergraduate researchers. However, it has been our observation that ETstudents are far less motivated to do research and report writing than those in other fields such asBiology, Chemistry and Physics. This is more apparent at Middle Tennessee State University(MTSU) since we have a large number
