Much of the research focused on moment-resisting frames; students reliedon building codes to ensure the safety of the structure, and used the Equivalent Lateral ForceProcedure (ELFP) to determine the loads and stresses of the structure. The interns also conductedresearch on time history analysis, which involves dynamic analysis of structures. Four sets

With the use of theconcept map, a document was created that expanded upon the connections that were seenbetween the interviews. Final thoughts about the research question were put together with the useof the created documents.Throughout the research project, there were various limitations that became present.

To ensure recruitmentinto the field, undergraduate research projects must generate excitement in the technical aspectsof Environmental Engineering. To do this, the following guidelines for approaching researchprojects with undergraduates are provided:• Provide projects that are small enough in scope and content that the work can be completed during a summer and academic year (e.g. initiated the summer before the senior year, continuing through the fall and spring semesters of the senior year). This might be a specific phase of a much larger project, but regardless, the

. Page 4.253.2 A definite disadvantage of introducing research activities to all students is that some individualsare naturally more interested in a particular subject matter than others. Research requires a hugecommitment from the students and the instructor, and success often results due to the passion for aparticular subject rather than innate intelligence. An instructor must carefully choose research projectstailored to the students’ interests and abilities. Granted, not all research projects are successful; in fact,most initial attempts at solving a difficult problem are not fruitful. However, by selecting projects whichare (1) interesting and exciting to a group of students, and (2) challenging but not beyond theircapabilities allows
