is shown in Figure 1. One goal of this module is to help faculty thinkabout alignment of service and teaching with research.Module 2. Structuring Undergraduate Research to Help Yourself. Building on the concept map ofModule 1, we ask faculty to brainstorm specific activities that engage undergraduate research students ina way to create value for their own research, teaching, and service activities. Examples might be toengage summer undergraduate research students in the generation of preliminary research data for newresearch ideas, development of K-12 or other education and outreach program materials, or evendevelopment of an effective teaching laboratory or maker space at their institution.

taught in a variety of ways. In general, lectures, hands-on laboratory orworkshop sessions, and project-based work may all be included in manufacturing curricula.When teaching manufacturing courses and lectures are frequently utilized to provide studentswith an overview of the fundamental principles in the field. A range of different technologies canbe used to deliver a lecture such as online or in a classroom setting. Additionally, manufacturingcourses could also include hands-on laboratory or workshop sessions where students get to useactual manufacturing tools and equipment. These classes are made to give students real-worldexperience with procedures and methods employed in the field. Traditionally, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

Those who will design these advances often seek opportunities in college to bothdevelop and test new ways to solve problems in ever-growing ecosystems and new engineeringapplications. Though engineering programs often excel at teaching technical capabilities,communication, leadership, teamwork and project-based learning activities gain less attention. Inaddition, engineering programs typically lack a structured method to apply entrepreneurialthinking to their studies, where questions of financial viability, social usefulness and potentialdemand for their engineering solutions are integrated into their coursework.
