Participation of Undergraduates in Engineering Research: Evolving Paradigms over Three Decades of ChangeIntroduction:Participation of undergraduates in research has received escalating attention over the last twodecades as a “win-win” situation for students, faculty, and institutions. It serves as experiential-and service-learning enhancement of students‟ total education and marketability, often within amultidisciplinary and honors context. Many institutions and government agencies haveestablished infrastructures to support undergraduate research. However, the author hasadvocated and mentored undergraduate research for nearly three decades, starting when it wasn‟tnearly as in-vogue as it is now. References 1

outsourcing of ECE expertise. The intent is to offer suggestions on howto revise the ECE curriculum to; 1) help future graduating ECE engineers work in aglobal environment, and 2) strengthen areas of ECE that are not likely to be outsourced,and to minimize focus of areas of the ECE discipline that are most likely to beoutsourced. These recommendations will in no way weaken the fundamental requirementfor understanding basic ECE principles, but are merely an attempt to structure the ECEcurriculum to be more resilient to outsourcing, so that ECE graduates in the United Stateshave expertise that are not easily outsourced and can compete in a global environment.Research of what’s being currently outsourced clearly identifies the need for USengineering
