Active learning emphasizes student engagement andparticipation, in opposition to passive learning, a lecture-based learning method, where studentssit and listen and are expected to absorb the communicated information.A main advantage of the lecture-based teaching is that the teacher can present a significant amountof information in a shorter time and explicitly share their knowledge and expertise on a subject [1,2]. However, the lecture approach does not work well with students of different learning styles andwho can get overwhelmed with the amount of information presented during

During the training activities, componentsof that formal laboratory report are added sequentially; the initial emphasis is on readable figuresand captions. After several activities that each focus on another section of a conventional report,the final training activity brings all sections together in a full, formal laboratory report. With afew weeks remaining in the course, the students apply what they have learned in trainingactivities to tasks needed by another ersatz client. These present somewhat ambiguous problemsthat students must first clarify. Their responses to the client’s challenges are presented in aformal laboratory report.The explicit emphasis on communication skills, recognition of

Participants will exchange feedback on the updates they’ve made to their syllabi and will be encouraged to bring a playful note to their course design and to borrow from each other in an effort to bring previously excluded perspectives to their

Active learningprovides a number of different strategies to accomplish this and these techniques have beenresearched and have been shown to be effective means of instruction2.Literature on active learning generally includes the following characteristics: • Students are involved in more than listening. • Less emphasis is placed on transmitting information and more on developing students’ skills. • Students are involved in higher-order thinking (analysis, synthesis, evaluation). • Students are engaged in activities (e.g. reading, discussing, writing). • Greater emphasis is placed on students’ exploration of their own attitudes and values3

Thesepractices result in students switching majors or dropping out of college. The aspect of studentengagement through high-impact practices as an effective tool for retention calls for effectiveand well-planned research activities, where undergraduates feel involved and included as part ofthe research community [3], [4]. One common strategy is undergraduate research experiences(UREs), where undergraduate students engage in research activities [5].
