discussions and problem solving using industry-based tools. This learning methodology requires additional lecturing techniques, such ascomputer-based lectures. Another approach has also emerged in recent years, one that providesresearch opportunities for undergraduates. Programs like Research Experience forUndergraduates (REU), supported by the NSF, provides learning experience for undergraduatestudents in non-traditional classroom environments. Despite its effectiveness in engagingparticipants in highly creative research environments, several drawbacks are noted as follows:Only a limited number of students are admitted into the program. The REU program is too costlyto accommodate a majority of students, and students do not have enough say in

In addition, 86% of the participants indicated that they were more likelyto study engineering after coming to the camp. The design projects were shown to be excellenttools to engage the students and pique their interest in engineering. This fact is indicated by thehigh marks (mean of 4.2 on a 5 point Likert-type scale) received by all the projects

Are they entering theworkforce with high self-efficacy and a command of chemical engineering theory and designprinciples?Using a modified version of the Carberry et al. instrument for design self-efficacy, we trackedstudent self-efficacy throughout their senior design experience.
