Lastly, students present their final results at a university wide summer researchsymposium, which is attended by multiple REUs and other undergraduate research programsoffered at Texas A&M University. All of these activities are designed towards achieving thefollowing three main objectives of the REU site: a) Foster research interests amongst undergraduate students and encourage them to pursue graduate education in advanced manufacturing b) Promote careers in the field of manufacturing and automated industriesStudent RecruitingThis project uses nsfetap.org

Each team receives twoZigBee radios. Students learn to use the free software X-CTU to set up the radios for wirelesscommunication, as illustrated in Fig. 1. There are two settings to be used: One is two radiostalking exclusively to each other. In this case, the radios are configured such that the DestinationAddress High/Low (DH/DL) of one radio is the Serial Number High/Low (SH/SL) of the otherradio. The other setting is for one radio (coordinator) to communicate with multiple radios. Inthis case, the coordinator has 0 as DH and FFFF as DL, as shown in Fig. 1 (a, b).A

The bridge must include a decking of spaghetti to provide a suitable “road surface” at least 5 cm wide across the full span of the bridge. Three conditions must be met: a) gaps in the bridge deck are not to exceed 2 mm. b) a block of wood (5 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm), representing a car, must be able to move the entire length of the span unobstructed. c) the deck of the bridge must not be more than 5 cm above or below the ends of the bridge at any point along its length.5
, etal.18 The two statistical tests explored in this paper are the Chi-square test and the t-test toanalyze retention rates and students’ GPA respectively. B. Statistical OverviewThe Chi-square test is used to compare frequency of occurrence for those results that come fromcategorical (discrete) data, such as retention rates. A specific version of this test is the Pearson’s Page 26.34.4Chi-square test that compares the expected value of an occurrence to the actual occurrence rate.Retention rate data is discrete because a person can only be in a state of ‘Yes’ (the person wasretained) or ‘No’ (the person was not retained).

These results seem to indicate that the E3 program was successfulin improving the teacher’s efficacy beliefs and attitudes. However, further hypothesis tests needto be carried out in order to determine whether the improvement in scores is statisticallysignificant, which the next objective of this study as is discussed below.Table 3 provides a summary of the mean scores provided by the teachers to the T-STEM questionnaire.The ‘Pre’ columns refer to the scores given by the teachers prior to participating in the E3 program whilethe ‘Post’ columns

Our course evaluationdealt with these three topics.Freshman Performance in Engineering EconomyAs noted earlier, the integrated course (EGR 120) is part of the standard curriculum forengineering freshmen. Part of the motivation for the revision in teaching techniques was aconcern about how freshmen would perform in the course. We have offered theintegrated course over a period of two semesters: Spring 1998 (6 sections), Fall 1998 (1section). Thus, many of the students who enrolled in the course were second-termfreshmen.
