case studies are presented fromthe student perspective, focusing on the educational and professional benefits to students whohave worked on these projects. Keywords: Industrial Projects, Undergraduate Research, Pharmaceutical Industry1. Introduction Undergraduate engineering and technology students benefit from “real-world” experienceswhich are usually obtained through internship and co-op experiences. Through these workexperiences, students have the opportunity to apply their technical skills to industrially-relevantproblems, gain exposure to company culture, and build a foundation which helps providemotivation for future learning in an academic environment. While these “real-world”experiences are highly valuable to students, they are

) consists of three-week longlaboratory-based modules in each of our four disciplines. We are committed to includingsignificant content in these modules as well as demonstrating to the students the extent to whichall engineering disciplines overlap. The multidisciplinary aspects of our program are crucial tothe type of education that we provide and are one of the reasons that we maintain a commoncurriculum for all of our students during their first year. At the end of their first year we hope tohave given them not only a sound background in the fundamentals of mathematics and science,but also a solid appreciation of the skills that are required for engineering practice.One of the most fundamenta skills required in today’s high-technology workplace
developed. Twenty yearsago, separate laboratory space existed for both the digital logic and electronics courses in ourdepartment. At that time, digital logic was only required for sophomore-level ElectricalEngineers. For the junior-level electronics lab, class size dictated that the lab be taught in twosections. As technology advanced, the digital lab assignments become more complex, whichrequired time outside the normal class period. In addition, our Computer Science departmentchose to make the digital lab a required part of their program, effectively doubling class size.During the same period, the number of Electrical Engineering students declined slightly, whichreduced the size of the electronics lab. Instead of two full sections of this lab

To improve enrollment ingraduate degree programs, it is important to understand what factors affect students’ interest inengineering graduate school and research, including previous research experiences. This paperaims to examine undergraduate students’ socialization into research to further understand thesefactors and promote enrollment in graduate school and research careers. As researchers aim to encourage more participation in engineering graduate schools andthe development of skilled engineers, it is important to showcase our current understanding of theclimate and experiences of engineering graduate school.
