CONCLUSIONS The undergraduate research program has been successful in providing research experience tothe undergraduates, and evolved into a useful educational mechanism that implemented many ofthese projects into the undergraduate curriculum. It is also an efficient transition towardsgraduate research.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The help and financial support provided by the individual nuclear engineering facultythrough their research contracts is highly acknowledged; without such support this programwould not be successful.

It alsoexercises algorithms to solve engineering problems and to develop creativity.The course incorporates numerous active learning strategies. These include projects, laboratories,lecture-based exercises, individual and team exercises with persistent feedback from both atechnical and technical communications instructor.

Any improvement achieved byoptimization, leads to a compromise in influence of these two parameters.It is completely unrealistic to expect that engineering and technology education should moldinventors. Perhaps the best measure of how difficult it is to come up with a true invention isprovided by analysis of over 2 million patents done by developers of Theory of Inventive ProblemSolving (TRIZ). Only 1% of the patents were based on a major scientific discovery, 4% based onfield of discovery external to the scientific field of patented application, 18% based on existingtechnical system
