To this end,the survey included a number of questions designed to capture student perspectives on theseexperiences. The objective was to compare students’ perceptions of both kinds of educationalexperiences. The authors felt such a comparison could provide insights on how to revise theoverall pilot approach to REU education to provide students with more effective educationalexperiences.The specific questions used to collect such data were as follows: 1.

Then, we discuss how the program was developed, itsexpected objectives and outcomes, the curriculum structure, and its organizational/operatingstructure. We start with the motivation.Motivation. The University of Arkansas B.S. Data Science Program came from the recognizedneed, in Arkansas (and nationally [11] and internationally [12]) for a workforce of trained datascientists for technical, business, social, and operational success. For example [13]: “The future of Arkansas’ economic success is tied to our ability to succeed in data analytics and computing.” – Mike Preston, Executive Director, Arkansas Economic Development

One of the major suggestions from the IAC wasto provide an environment for students to practice multi-disciplinary innovative productdevelopment in our curriculum. The faculty pointed to this course much to the delight of theIAC. On another occasion the IAC was meeting one year after the completion of the first ENGR350 course; they were viewing the capstone projects of the first students to have completed theentire PBL sequence from freshman through senior. One of the IAC members pointed out thatthe projects that year tended to be of a higher caliber than those of previous years, noting thatthese students were the first to finish the entire PBL sequence.References[1] Self, B.

What matters to them? • Do they really want a bridge or just a way to get from A to B? • How can empathizing with the client help us better serve them and meet their needs? This indicates that learning the story behind the problem and the project itself can help students understand a client or project’s needs

educational experiences that enablethem to address major global issues has become an important goal for many engineeringprograms around the world. With the wide variety of academic and co-curricular programscurrently available at many institutions, each student is able to find an experience that fits his orher interests. Highly organized global initiative programs, such as those described in this study,can, it is suggested, organize activities in a manner that supports students’ finding andparticipating in a coherent set of related activities that enhance student development.
