) Undergraduate Research and Student Presentation of ResultsOver the period of September 2016 to August 2018, fourteen undergraduate researchprojects were performed. Project results have been presented to a wide range ofaudiences, including K-12, undergraduate students, graduate students and practicingprofessionals. Project participants included 39 undergraduate students, 11 faculty(including the PI, co-PIs, other Wentworth faculty and one external collaborator fromanother college) and 2 laboratory technicians, representing seven different academicprograms/disciplines from the Colleges of Engineering and Arts and Sciences. Inaddition to mentoring students during their research, a considerable effort was given tosupporting students in their presentation

sent to all 50 BME studentsin Senior Design. All 11 students on the clinical projects completed the pre-survey, but only 20%(10 of the 50, 3 from clinical projects) completed the post-survey. The results from the pre-survey illustrate the student’s interest in working in a clinical setting and on projects that aredirectly applicable to the biomedical field. Several of the students were also drawn to the projectsdue to direct application of their academic strengths and laboratory skills. The results from thepost-survey are harder to interpret due to the low response rate. Overall, senior design (bothindustry and clinical projects) is a well-received course where the students learn valuable skills.However, there are areas that BME students feel

Thisassignment continues on a path to introduce frequency domain behavior.The next part of the assignment asks the students to increase the frequency of the applied squarewave until the square wave period is approximately ten times the circuit time constant. This tasksets the square wave period to 10 ms, and they must determine the frequency to be 100 Hz. Thisexercise confirms that the exponential response of the circuit is independent of the

Figure 1 shows an example of applying thistechnology. Figure 1: 3D trajectory planning under CARACaS - AUV (Huntsberger & Woodward, 2011). Ship design in the U.S. Navy starts with concept design, then moves to engineeringdesign, and then to production design, as shown in Figure 2. The concept phase defines the waythe ship is supposed to function. During this phase, a concept of operation (CONOPS) isdeveloped (Chalfant, 2015).

Instructors may modify the activitiesto adapt them to their context, but in that case, the effectiveness of the activities aseducational tools is unknown. Our goals in the current work are to first, to createversions (modes) of the activities that are easier for faculty to use, and second, assesstheir educational effectiveness. To what extent does delivery mode impact conceptuallearning? Our third goal is to share all modes of all activities, with sufficient informationthat faculty can make good choices about their adoption, and learn which factors are mostimportant
