Cal Poly SLO*, andI plan on getting my MBA sometime in the future. I am considering doing the blended BS and MSIndustrial Engineering degree here, but as of right now I am only pursuing my BS. My role onthe SERA** team was to act as the lead research assistant/ project manager. I helped plan the[UAV] flight missions and made sure we followed our protocols correctly. I also documented alot of our findings and initiated the relationship with Optar AI [Artificial Intelligence]. From this research experience, I learned how to properly make flowcharts, how topresent material clearly and concisely to those not in the same field, and most importantly howto manage a diverse team of intellectuals.

The lack of scholarship within and beyond the field of engineering education on the impactof research contributes to the lack of shared language around what research impact looks like inthis context—and a lack of productive conversations on how research can impact practice. Usinga convergent parallel mixed methods research design, the aim of this study is to
