Thoughundergraduate research is identified by the Association of American Colleges and Universities as ahigh-impact educational practice, it is not commonly encouraged or pursued within engineeringtechnology programs (as compared to engineering programs) predominantly due to the hands-on andexperiential nature of the curriculum. This paper will outline and compare the different types ofundergraduate research activities pursued by various students within this engineering technologyprogram; these include single and multi-semester individual and group research projects, acceleratedprojects over summer sessions with and without university-level schedules/organization, projectshaving participants from multiple departments, research as part of honors theses

Christopher Michael Sales, Drexel UniversityYaghoob Farnam, Drexel University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018Empowering Underrepresented Groups to Excel in STEM Through ResearchSprintsAbstractLearning today is increasingly contextual, embodied, and on-demand. New modes ofempowerment through technology are reshaping where, when, and how learning occurs.Research sprints are an integrative, fast-paced, active learning experience emphasizingcreativity, collaboration, and communication in which teams "sprint" to find the informationneeded to solve a design or research challenge. The participants must work together to harvestthe information and synthesize it through appropriate visuals in presentations and
educationalprograms. However, the RCR materials and courses that exist have been primarily created fortrainees in the biomedical sciences. For engineering students, the materials may not be fullyappropriate as they do not address the full scope of engineering research work or the possiblecareer pathways of engineering students. Courses and materials designed for engineeringstudents need to be created to be able to engage and educate these students. In this paper, acourse created in Fall 2007 for graduate students in engineering at the University of Kansas willbe described. This course attempts to address the RCR training needs of engineering students byincorporating responsible conduct of research issues in research areas such as computationalmodeling and
