This flexibilitycontrasts with other summer research or study-abroad programs, which often require full-timecommitments that preclude outside jobs, course enrollment, or family obligations. Engagedmentorship also stands out as an important aspect of this project. Post-program reflections andstructured follow-ups are recommended to help students integrate their experiences into futurecareer goals.The findings highlight the importance of pre-program preparation, hands-on research, effectivementoring, and fostering group cohesion in

But as expected, upon the cooperative analysis by the joint faculty fromthe Electrical Engineering Program and the General Studies Department, areas were identifiedthat should be addressed for improvement.Because of its applications-oriented mission, MSOE’s Electrical Engineering program has a veryoutput-oriented curriculum. Student performances in writing and speaking do tend to be verystrong, despite the patterns of weakness noted. We have a sound program in a traditionalcontext. However, we are in a changing world. As our graduates adjust to this globalworkplace environment, “outgoing” communication skills are not enough. With the rapidity ofchange

engineering is all about when theybegin their engineering studies, nor do they know much about a career in engineering. Similarly,within the realm of language studies, enrollment in language courses is always high in the firstyear, and then usually begins to dwindle in the intermediate sequence with the highest attritionrate in the upper level courses. Students often begin with a foreign language due to a one yearlanguage requirement (like at URI), but then they do not continue beyond the first year. At thesame time, the internationalizing of the curriculum is of increasing concern.

. IntroductionThis evidence-based paper assesses strategies for Research Experience for Undergraduates(REU) social program success. REU programs typically bring together students from across thecountry – or even around the world – to a university campus for the summer. While at thisuniversity, the students learn how to conduct real research in their discipline by actually doing it,under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Giving students exposure to conducting bona fideresearch allows them to determine whether they may be interested in pursuing a research career(and, to support this, continuing on to graduate-level education).Many students who participate in REU programs remember these programs long after theprogram is complete.

Since the accuracy of facerecognition systems can be dependent on the changes of camera angles and lighting conditions ofthe captured image versus the comparison images4, having various poses can test the versatilityof a system. Also, the various poses allow the training set to be composed of images with thesame angles and lighting conditions, producing the most accurate eigen faces to be used incomparisons.

tunnels age, repairs become more costly and we often have to destroy the existing structures. The question of the day? “Do we have to keep using traditional ways of fixing or rebuilding our infrastructure, or are there new scientific approaches we can use?”. Researchers and engineers have been studying nature for many years, inspiring new approaches to fix crumbling infrastructure. Many animals, including humans, can heal wounds or cracks to their bones. In nature, organisms show a healing strategy or response to damage. When damage occurs, living units (e.g., cells) become active and begin to produce suitable chemicals that can heal the damage. This concept will be followed in this workshop to

Freshmen expect engineering to be demanding but often getoverwhelmed by the volume of the material and find it difficult to successfully manage their timeand use of resources (course drills, tutoring, faculty office hours, etc.) 2. This may be a majorreason why academically capable students select a different career after a short time inengineering without any real exposure to engineering courses 2.
