for Scalable Apprenticeship Applied to Materials Informatics ResearchabstractThe Informatics Skunkworks program provides a new framework for engaging undergraduates inresearch experiences, with a focus on the interface of data science and materials science. Theprogram seeks to provide authentic research, engaged personal learning, and professionaldevelopment while also being efficient, accessible, and scalable. Initially developed at theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison, participation continues to grow, with over 90 students engagedin research or training activities during the Fall 2021 semester from 4 institutions. The Skunkworksfocuses on reducing barriers to engagement for mentors and students in undergraduate research byreplacing

These dynamics are evident in engineering education research, afield that initially developed from public exchanges between [6-8] and explicit efforts ofpassionate engineering educators [9, 10].Other disciplinary contexts have explored the value of, and challenges associated with, moredeeply involving educators in educational scholarship [11-13].

As he stated, “I don't know if I did it last time, but looking for a specificproblem that's occurring now and how I can address it”. This is a marked change from the pre-REU response, in which James described the initial stages of problem identification morebroadly. Another change in the post-REU response was the discussion of “trial-and-error” and anincreased focus on monitoring of the research process, as illustrated below: “And then going to the plan-- start doing the experiment to see if it works. If it doesn't work, go again, and talk to my colleagues, or my PI, and see what I can do
