The research experience program is set up so that the studentshave the opportunity to work with two co-mentors, one from a tribal college and the other from auniversity, working collaboratively through the academic year. Students do research on theirrespective campuses during the academic year.

A prime example of this occurred when we askedundergraduate students to build a temperature and frequency interface for a microwavespectrometer using off-the-shelf components. Students were unable to configure the equipmentproperly because they did not understand such terms as resolution, full-scale error, and step-size.To provide students with hands-on experience with A/D converters, we designed a laboratoryprocedure that allows the students to interface an A/D converter chip to a parallel port on a PC.The rest of this paper describes the microwave spectrometer alluded to earlier, the A/D parallelport laboratory procedure we developed, and the final interface design for the microwavespectrometer

This attitude becomes particularly commonafter tenure and promotion to Professor unless other tangible rewards such as merit raises, releasetime, and influence motivate continuing hard effort. One may suddenly be shocked to find that hehas lost competitiveness when a supposedly good proposal or paper is ripped apart by reviewers.There is also a hesitancy of funding agencies, industry, and larger universities to fund or participatein collaborative projects with smaller institutions with no graduate programs, a limited record ofresearch, and minimal laboratory capabilities. These entities may have had bad experiences intrying to do so in the past and also consider it not worth the effort in regards to payoff

The aim is to contribute tothe preparation of a STEM pipeline in the field of engineering and advanced manufacturing. Thepipeline for research and higher education begins specifically at an early age, where students areencouraged to peruse STEM-related programs. Our program is mainly oriented toward highschool, and early college students and continue through the completion of a college degree inSTEM areas.

Technical subjects such as engineering often are intrinsically difficult and impose anintrinsic cognitive load on the learner. In contrast, extraneous cognitive load, that is,cognitive load resulting from activities that are extraneous to schema acquisition isavoidable and should be minimized through proper design of instructional materials—such as, for example, worked examples.8. Novices attempting to learn by practicing problem solving experience a heavyextraneous cognitive load because they are engaged in a goal-attainment activity ratherthan a learning activity.
