participation rates and effects of experiential learning vary acrossdifferent undergraduate engineering student populations (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, discipline,socioeconomic status)?Employing a narrative literature review approach, this paper synthesizes current research inengineering education and higher education on experiential learning for undergraduate students,and proposes areas for future research. This review illustrates the challenges in measuring aspectsof student involvement, suggesting salient characteristics of involvement that future researchmight investigate, and identifies types of mechanisms that have been attributed to the influence ofinvolvement, including developing skills, networking with peers, fostering sense of belonging

Over theensuing decades, funding has increased dramatically, up to $2,500 per project, with requiredsupplemental institutional or departmental matching funds.The first projects were, of necessity, small in scope and utilitarian in nature, including

Test apparatus, such as the static bending test loadhead and support platform and the direct shear device, were already available by their use inother courses in the civil engineering curriculum at USAFA. So no new equipment was requiredfor this study.

Interdisciplinary training can benefit both undergraduates and graduate students, but theeffectiveness of the training is enhanced when the students possess the in-discipline technicalmaturity resulting from completion of a B.S. engineering degree and when a graduate researchproject creates problems requiring interdisciplinary solutions. The goal of interdisciplinarytraining should be to develop specialists who have interaction skills, not to develop generalists.Engineers in a given discipline must be aware of the constraints and needs of the otherdisciplines. For instance, a load test on a new bridge element could involve civil, electrical,manufacturing, and mechanical engineers. The civil engineer needs an appreciation for sensornoise and processing

In addition, limited resourcesmeant that whatever was implemented needed to be credible, sustainable, and productive.Hence, several “student learning communities” have been implemented that are designed toprovide a successful learning environment, which attracts and retains qualified students.IntroductionThe Lee College of Engineering Learning Communities programs focus on activities thatpromote the formation of

biochemical engineering.It is obvious that the successful commercialization of the developments in biochemicalengineering depends on the technical advance in biochemistry and biology as well as theeducation of those who will implement such advances. We believe that the biotechnology andpharmaceutical industries benefit best from chemical engineers who have been trained andeducated on how to implement and expand chemical engineering knowledge to biologicalsystems. One way of achieving this is by adding new experiments in biochemical engineeringto the undergraduate chemical engineering laboratory curriculum 1 (unit operations laboratory).The overall objectives of this endeavor are: 1) to familiarize the students with the operation ofequipment used in
