The first cohort of seven undergraduate students were recruited to participate in a ten-weeksummer program to perform networking research for drone swarms under the guidance of facultyand research mentors. In this paper, a couple of drone swarm projects were briefly summarized.By the end of the summer program, students was surveyed about their undergraduate researchexperiences. A couple of months after students were back to their home institutions, a couple ofstudents were interviewed about the impact of their undergraduate research experiences on theircontinued learning.

The internet of things (IoT)has been integrated into the robotics classes in the Department of Mechanical EngineeringTechnology (MET). The basic idea is to use the internet to implement IoT-based projects thatcombine wireless sensor networks, online learning management systems, and remote-controltechniques to realize the learners' remote collaboration and immersive feeling. In an IoT-basedproject, a robot spider is taken to show the implementing procedures. This project combinedseveral cutting-edge techniques, including vision-based simultaneous localization and mappingand object detection

We grounded our work in thecognitive apprenticeship model of mentoring and theory of social capital, asking the question:How do mentors and mentees perceive shared experiences? Over the course of 16 months, wecollected data in the form of reflective journal entries and transcripts from individual and jointinterviews, combining these with other documentation such as emails and text messages.

Accordingly, some researchers have used time spent on tasks inrelation to performance on tasks as indicators of cognitive flexibility. Another definition is the“selective use of knowledge to adaptively fit the needs of understanding and decision-making ofa particular situation” [1, p. 548]. The latter definition seems appropriate for describing cognitiveflexibility in engineering problem-solving but does not seem to be fully captured by existingmeasures of time spent on task and performance.Guided by CFT, the main goals of our NSF EEC project were to improve students’ abilities toapply sustainable engineering concepts across different problem contexts or
