The program will culminate with the students presenting their results at the EmergingResearchers Nationwide conference, which will continue to provide the students new experienceswithin STEM and STEM research they would not have experienced otherwise. Future iterationsof this program will continue to refine the experiments while maintaining the creative aspect thatallows the students to participate in their optimization.

Engineeringinstructors employ various mathematical constructs, such as graphs, tables, equations, and charts,to describe situations and concepts. Exercises and exams employ similar constructs to presentsituations. There is the implied expectation that students comprehend these constructs.
