It is not surprising given the fact that faculty in STEM areas havebeen discussing ways to integrate UR as a capstone experience longer and found that URenhanced student learning, increase critical thinking skills and steered students into successfulSTEM related careers. It has also been relatively easier to provide UR experiences in sciencesand engineering because faculty typically have their research laboratories to fit in one or moreaspiring undergraduates. In the current global competitive environment and United Statesfacing a critical shortage of students majoring in STEM areas, it is more critical than everbefore that institutions

learning, invention educators can readily enact pedagogical strategies thatbenefit all youth learners.Keywords: Invention Education, Agency, Community-Based Partnerships, Systems Introduction Invention Education (IvE) can transform “how and why” youth learners engage inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) knowledge and practices and fundamentallyimpact how youth experience STEM learning. IvE can also engage youth socially andemotionally because inventing is rooted in real-world, empathetic problem-solving. In addition,IvE positions STEM knowledge and practices as necessary, practical, and applicable to problemsolving for a particular user and/or a community of users. This interpersonal
students’ academic careers.IntroductionThere are several studies which detail the benefit of student collaboration and networking [1],[2]. However, there are not always adequate opportunities for students to network andcollaborate with other students and faculty outside of their home institution. Therefore a summerprogram was developed by the FEEDER (Foundations in Engineering Education for DistributedEnergy Resources) Consortium, in hopes to not only increase the ability for students to networkand collaborate, but to expose the students to a wide variety of technologies that they could notsee otherwise. This strengthens several of the soft skills that are very important in thedevelopment of a young engineer’s career, but are often times
