in science and engineering. One key attribute of such a program is that theREU projects must involve students in meaningful ways – i.e. the undergraduates may not be simply lab technicians.It is viewed favorably if the REU Sites include professional development training including ethics. Also, involvingparticipants from diverse schools across the country (especially those from primarily undergraduate institutions) aswell as inclusion of an international component is also viewed as favorable because it broadens REU Participantperspectives and increases the breadth of their training. The research theme of REU Sites is open to any researcharea that NSF currently funds. Of course, themed sites with an interdisciplinary or multi-department

Each student must complete a two-coursesequence, four credits each semester, during the fourth year of the program that exercises prior course work ina design project. The goals of this course sequence are: students will engage in a large scale capstone design project; students will exercise written communication skills; students will develop oral presentation skills; and students will engage in discussions on engineering professionalism emphasizing ethical, social, and environmental aspects of design. The course is run by a single faculty member who takes care of the administrative details, conducts in

The noted engineering educator Richard Felder noted, "Of allinstructional methods, lecturing is the most common, the easiest, and the least effective."However the delivery of engineering education continues in discrete, specialized modules byindividual instructors in a lecture-based format. 11 In particular, studies of engineeringanalysis and design continue to occupy a separate world from the consideration of"contextual issues" such as social and environmental impacts, ethics, regulatory, andeconomic considerations.

While engineering programs require students to take courses in the arts,humanities, and social sciences, students often compartmentalize these human-centric skills as“liberal arts” skills instead of weaving them into their technical expertise. There are numerousexamples of engineering programs or courses that have incorporated arts and humanities intodesign courses to encourage students to practice integrating human-centric skills with theirtechnical knowledge.15-17 A major challenge faced by this approach is that these courses are oftenseen as design courses and the “soft skills” offered by the arts and humanities faculty are just
