Oklahoma. The goal of Camp Concrete is toinvolve undergraduate students in high-quality cutting edge civil engineering research. Researchprojects are selected to address immediate needs of local businesses and agencies, such as theOklahoma Department of Transportation. The students take ownership of their projects, whichincreases the quality of their experience and encourages them to pursue graduate study. Thisprogram is shown to improve student retention and in many cases this research will become astudent's M.S. thesis. Three projects were completed in 2004 which led to three presentations atthe semi-annual American Concrete Institute (ACI) convention and three journal papers inprogress.Overview:Camp Concrete was not developed as an experiment

project that included equipping new Environmental Engineering laboratoriesfor advance heavy metal analysis. Ms. Pfaff continued on into graduate studies at CWRU anddid her thesis research on lead soil contamination around Cleveland’s Master Metals site. Thiswork led to an assessment of soil extraction techniques and the development of a screeningextraction method (the CWRU 1N HCl, 2h Hr. Ex.) that is still in use today (Pfaff and Jennings,1996). The work also identified near surface soil lead contamination as high as 23,750 mg/kg.The current standard of “child contact” residential soil is 400 mg/kg (USEPA, 2001), so valueslike 23,750 mg/kg represent profound contamination and serious health risk.

This experience was very encouraging and it made me more certain that being a graduate student was my next goal.” “The INSET program had a very positive impact on my interest in pursuing graduate study. I learned a tremendous amount about the technical aspects of working in a laboratory and the type of life I can expect when I to become a graduate student.” “INSET showed me what real research is all about and how practical and interesting it can be. I showed me that I can compete with people who entered a 4-year university right after high school and convinced me that I could get into and be successful in a graduate school.” “Before INSET my interest in science was relatively vague and unfocused.

A second concern for the course hasbeen the attrition between the spring course and the fall course. More than one-third of thestudents have opted not to take second portion of the course, but most of these have beenstudents who do not need the course credits to graduate. Although more time is needed to assess the effect of this course’s research experiences onthe careers of these students, the course sequence appears to be a success. The next step is to trythis experiment on different campuses, especially those in which technical communication isintegrated differently into engineering

However, as professionals we have learned judging a student’s ability todesign is far more like judging shades of gray. This paper explores many of the shades ofgray with respect to the differences between design and research and proposes questionsthat can aid judging between a “major design experience” and an academic researchproject.The ability to design is one of the measures that helps define if a graduate is trulyprepared to practice engineering. It is an ability defined by the engineering profession asa “black or white” skill needed by every graduate of an engineering program.
