Theearlier the exposure the better, focusing on the freshman and sophomore years, as well asfostering STEM interests in elementary and high school students.Research and Entrepreneurially Minded LearningResearch and engineering education are often thought of as separate topics but they are linked.Involvement in research, for either students or faculty, addresses the need to develop curiosityand the ability to ask the right question.

Lunsford et al. [14] suggests that not allcollege professors are equipped with the right mindset or skills to be effective mentors, especiallyif they lack mentoring during their graduate training. Faculty members face numerous obstacleswhile mentoring. Baker et al. [15] point out that many institutions don't allow course release timefor professors juggling multiple undergraduate projects. This leads them to balance advisingcapstone projects and several research experiences alongside teaching and other responsibilities.A study by Baker et al.

Theprofessor’s only restriction on topic has been that it has to use natural fibers in some fashion.While the professor’s personal research interest is in structural composites, the students havecome up with a number of creative applications that are not structural.Student responses to this experience have been very positive.

For incoming firstyear students, there is a ten-day orientation to engineering, the sciences and the UM community.The goal is to jump-start the careers of female students by providing them with teamwork andtechnical skills training and networking opportunities with both female faculty and each other, aswell as exposure to research in STEM fields.

They argue that URPsshould be structured around “discovering” proven concepts. They should not be focused ondoing real research, i.e., making new discoveries. Such experiences will still prepare the studentsfor graduate study. The students will still learn discovery tools and techniques. They will stilllearn what “research” is about. Moreover, these experiences are investigations for which theprofessor already knows the outcome. The students can always be given quality guidance. Theresults that will be obtained are already known.
