Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Incorporating Research and Design in a Community College Engineering ProgramAbstractTraditional engineering undergraduate research and design is typically seen in four-yearinstitutions, restricted to junior- and senior-level students. In large institutions, freshman- andsophomore-level students are generally seen to be ill-equipped to take on complex projects,particularly while muddling through the basics of calculus, physics, and electronics. Ourinstitution, McLennan Community College, through a partnership with the Council onUndergraduate Research (CUR), has been challenging that assumption. Students are beingintroduced to research and design methods in the
