ProgramAbstract Research experiences for undergraduates have increased in availability at universities andgovernment laboratories throughout the nation. Government agencies, universities and privatedonors support these activities with a variety of expectations, including providing a more skilledworkforce, creating a greater emphasis on graduate education and increased retention of studentsin highly technical fields. While the value of these programs has been well-established, there is apaucity of empirically-based research on the various models and practices of these experiencesthat have the greatest impact on the students. The focus of this study was a National ScienceFoundation funded Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program at a 4

Once the project had been described to the students on the firstday of the course, all subsequent lectures were designed to deliver content required for eachstage of the device development process, including concept generation, design, fabrication, andtesting. In order to assess the impact of the project on student interest and attitudes toward theLab on a Chip research field, pre- and post-course surveys were developed and administered.The results from the surveys showed increased student-reported knowledge, confidence indeveloping devices, and level of interest in pursuing further studies, training, and careers

. Short-term off-campus trainingexperiences can help students see the 'real-world' impact of engineering research and broadentheir understanding of their career opportunities. Arguably, internship and externship experiencesare particularly valuable for students in interdisciplinary majors, such as biomedical engineering,which cross more traditional fields and career paths. Thus, interdisciplinary graduate trainingprograms, such as those funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging andBioengineering (NIBIB), sometimes include an internship or externship component as a way toensure breadth in the educational program. The purpose of this study is to review the graduatesummer internship/externship practices of NIBIB funded graduate training

Students in the RBL model will form teams and have plenty of opportunities to practice teamwork. At the same time, each student will be encouraged to do his/her best in achieving the individual goal set by the supervising faculty and the student. For example, after completing the senior design, the students who will attend graduate school/medical school are usually motivated to write up a

student development of these skills.While freshmen-level bioengineering courses include scientific, biological, chemical, physical,mathematical, and engineering principles, students struggle to understand how these conceptsintegrate as a whole in the field of bioengineering, in part due to the broad nature of the field(ranging from medical to environmental applications). With time, greater appreciation for thefield occurs well into their senior years (i.e., capstone design) but may limit the amount of timethat students can nurture these specialized skills before graduation. Therefore, by offering moreopportunities to foster research-related skills (hypothesis formulation, dataanalysis/interpretation, oral communication) early in their education

Writing review articles is, however, primarily an exercise inaccumulating and organizing knowledge.Often a different approach is taken with graduate students, where the goal is to emphasizeanalysis and synthesis rather than knowledge. For example, the analysis of raw experimental datahas been used as a case-based approach to enforcing higher-order cognitive skills 3. Thisapproach may not be appropriate, however, for many undergraduate classes. Further, thisapproach was not designed to teach the basics of researching the technical literature, writing in atechnical style, or of engaging in peer review; these are often

This project-based learning course use of a gammaprototype surrogate shows having a positive impact in the teaching of keyconcepts regardless of instructor or time. Furthermore, students learning ofinnovative skills, prototyping, and design could improve their ability to tacklefuture difficult concepts. Application of such a course in either freshmen year orprior to their senior design could greatly benefit students.Further analysis would need to be conducted to look for differences in studentdesign challenges

In combination with guided instruction in Common CoreState Standards and Next Generation Science Standards-aligned curricula design, the laboratoryresearch is more effectively translated and applied in high school science classrooms.
