for Engineering Education, 2019 Development and Assessment of an Undergraduate Research CommunityAbstractLiterature suggests the benefits to undergraduate research include improving students’understanding of the research process, their resilience, and their ability to persist through failure.However, at primarily undergraduate institutions, there are a number of challenges in making theundergraduate research experience successful for both students and faculty mentors. First, there isa significant burden on faculty mentors who, along with designing a research project, are typicallyindividually advising students, training them in reading and writing about research, and critiquingposters and presentations. These are skills which could be

Most of the models arecreated to be prescriptive for the use of educators. In elementary grades, the Engineering isElementary [18] and PictureSTEM [19] curricula introduce simple versions of the engineeringdesign process to students.
