Participants were then integrated into their research mentors laboratory, andspent eight weeks on a research project. The program has two Peer Mentors, who areundergraduates with research experience, that live with the students and participate in theresearch project. The mentors are also responsible for additional social and academic activitiesduring nights and weekends. This paper describes the program, evaluations and critiques fromthe first year (from both research mentors and participants), as well as the challenges andopportunities the program presents to future “Research Experience for Undergraduates”programs.

The GlobalWorkshop, an activity facilitated by both peer mentors and faculty, presents the freshmenstudents with scenarios that pertain to global engineering challenges. One such challengeaddresses the technical as well as the cultural and ethical concerns of building a bridge in avillage in an under-developed country. Through the direction and collaboration of the faculty,students derive solutions to the

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and

Theflying rocket-gliders are models which, under remote radio control, transition at the top of theirboost trajectory into gliders that attempt to make a soft landing on a designated site. Our six-student teams design, build, and fly a fully operational rocket-glider vehicle from scratch.Powered by a 3 second, 3.4 lb max thrust model rocket motor, most boost gliders are about 2 feetlong. Each boost glider has a set of control surfaces mounted with receiver-actuated servos.Flights last from 2 seconds (for an aerodynamically unstable
