the Context Canvas, teams of graduate students andfaculty were invited to participate in a workshop to redesign a project spine course inengineering. This design decision to have a combined team of faculty and students is at the heartof a CBPD approach to course design. Before attending the workshop, participants individuallyobserved different design courses of the undergraduate engineering curriculum to collect dataabout a current course. They observed class sessions, explored the syllabus of the course andinteracted with students and instructors of the course. The observations were documented byeach participant. Instructions about what to observe and how to document were not given to notinfluence participants and allow different observation

BackgroundDifferent types of engineering and engineering technology undergraduate research experiences havebeen offered from the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduate summer programs to smallindividual projects undertaken during the semester. Research indicates that numerous benefits fromundergraduate research accrue to the student as well as to the sponsoring faculty member.As noted by Zhan et al, faculty in engineering technology do not typically have access to graduatestudents for research, but they are expected increasingly to engage in greater amounts of researchand scholarly work.1

Faculty mentors may also need to manage team dynamics when one or several group members is having difficulty working with the team. o Exposure to the graduate school setting is very helpful. Trips to other graduate schools shows how different they are in some ways, but also how similar in others. Such visits also demonstrate similarities between REU students and those already in graduate school. o Field trips, though not more than one a week and more towards the beginning than the end of an REU, are a real bonus in terms of seeing the real world and application of research to real problems. o Activities

The institutions need to take a serious look at the roadblocks theyhave set up that prevent the employment of talented persons. Some roadblocks are external butmany are created by the policies and attitudes of the schools themselves. Limiting the scope of the search, archaic standards and restrictive tenure policies aresome of the problems that the institutions can remove.

They are very intelligent, highly motivated people, and capable of doingvery good work if carefully guided. Professors have to guard against this perspective.

A betterrecognition of why a student opts into and stays in a major could yield a deeper understandinginto how students choose a major and what they expect from engineering careers.
