Teacher interns and pre-service teachers (seniorscience education major undergraduates) will be an integral part of the program, rigorouslypreparing them even before their careers as in-service teachers. Twelve teachers, six engineeringfaculty and six experienced engineering undergraduate students will be formed into six researchteams. During a six-week summer program, each team will conduct intensive work on variousaspects of smart vehicle development initiative. Teachers will also work with educationprofessionals to develop classroom activities based on the active research areas in which they areinvolved. Proposed RET Site

In suchconnections, the rubber pads increase the ductility of the connection without much loss in themoment carrying capacity. The prying force in the connection increases, which decreases theplastic deformation in the bolts, thereby resulting in reduced pinching in the moment-rotationloops. The group concluded that more research needs to be conducted on what type of rubber padto use, possibly including rubber pads with wire mesh to increase initial stiffness. Thus, the groupsuccessfully completed the research within the scope identified by them. The participants of thegroup prepared a 189-page detailed Technical Report.In Project No. 3

In this final project, teams of studentslearned about research, developed a hypothesis, designed a microcontroller-based experimentaldesign, analyzed data using Matlab, and presented the results publicly to the universitycommunity. Surveys of students participating in the course assessed what factors in the coursemost supported their learning. Students responded that project team members formed animportant support to their learning outside the classroom along with office hours.

Additionally, we felt that we provided additional validation to the findings by hiringURAs with differing positionalities from the initial research team, which had previously beenlimited to four White, Ph.D. level women. We found that this helped us better understand thelived experience of the participants.

Three examples of these codes were‘developing novel/new’, ‘contribute to science community’, and ‘utility of research’. The codeswere grouped together by their characteristics to begin to develop themes such as “activelyseeking new knowledge”, “recognition”, and “communication of research”. We are currentlyevaluating these codes more fully and may reduce the codes to narrow the themes generatedfrom the results.Some students defined research as actively seeking new knowledge; they conceptualize researchsuch that results must be new.

MaterialsIntroductionThe work reported in this paper begins with the end of a previous research project. Our earlierwork investigated student understanding of mechanics of materials1–3. After describing howstudents understand this topic, we wanted to move on to developing course materials to helpbuild on students’ existing understanding and address misconceptions. This is not an unusualprogression, and, indeed, our initial research in this area showed us that most course materialsthat are developed from research never achieve broad adoption4. Many engineering educatorsdevelop their own materials, duplicating researchers’ efforts and potentially denying students thebenefit of research-based materials with proven effectiveness. The lack of adoption is a

Whether the percentage of males tofemales in the study group was proportional to the population observed was perceived asirrelevant by the engineer. Additionally, the importance of considering the gender of datacollector was not originally recognized as a significant variable by the engineer.
