While even in the most poorly designed research experience this mayoccur to some extent, the optimal method for delivery and preparation of students for soundresearch in engineering and science is not clear. Many research experiences are 8 to 10 weeksummer programs. Within these relatively short time frames the programs should carefullyconsider organization and structure in order to maximize impact. However, our knowledge onhow to best deliver research training is incomplete.

Previous work has neglected the impact of misalignments between expectations andexperiences on students' ability to persist, except for Zerbe and Sallai's paper [17]. They foundmisalignments in students' expectations on the psychological level, such as feelings of malaise,the anticipation of being overworked, and the expectation of not having a work-life balance.However, less attention was paid to sociological or policy expectations or misalignments.The present work builds on our group's ongoing exploration of graduate attrition.

Asubstantial amount of research was available for the process of converting vegetable oils intobiodiesel, as well as the process of extracting the oil from coconuts. The purpose of this projectwas to combine the two processes and show how simple biodiesel production could beimplemented in Tonga.Students were divided into six groups that each focused on one specific aspect of the process: oilextraction, conversion to biodiesel, separations following conversion, waste management, addedvalue (such as soap), and economics.
