Active engagement, collaboration, and communication were observed.4.2 Observed Engineering Practices a. Collaboration and teamwork: This is expected in family-oriented activities. The family showed clear understanding of the problem. The brainstorming, ideating, designing, building, and testing allowed for active engagement in the design activity by both parties. It created an environment that supports learning. b. Mentorship: Throughout the design activity, the grandmother took on the guiding role, providing answers to questions that help the daughter in navigating the challenges of

The REU site has been able to motivate the students for career in UAV Technologies,which is one of the main objectives of the Site. This is also echoed in the students’ writtencomments collected by the external evaluator from the participants at the end of the summerPrograms. Some of the comments are: a) “I would highly recommend this program to everyoneinterested in UAVs,” b)“Learning how to code for UAVs and working with an awesome team,” c)“This program greatly increased my knowledge in computer science and UAV technologies.

benefits and opportunities to the mentors. For instance, a. they learn to communicate with people from different disciplines, either by developing the skills to abstract away from disciplinary framework and jargon or by developing the skills to understand the other person’s disciplinary frame of reference; b. their ability to envision applications of the theory that they learn and teach is more developed than that of traditional mentors; c. their professional network is more diverse than their counterparts’, which opens up non-traditional career opportunities.

rate their confidence in their abilityto complete activities related to engineering research on a scale of 1-5, with 1 = Low Confidenceand 5 = High Confidence. The nine activities they were asked to rate their confidence on were: a. Talk about science and engineering b. Read and use engineering and scientific literature. c. Write about science and engineering d. Generate a hypothesis e. Formulate a scientific argument from evidence. f. Design an experiment g. Analyze and interpret data h. Write a report based on an experiment. i. Pursue engineering as a career.Participants were also asked about their confidence on these items on the post-surveyadministered at the end of the six-week summer program. Paired

isable to "engage the students at their level of background knowledge and use their answers asinput for class discussion". Novak showed that students engaged in JiTTs performed betterthan students not using the strategy. Today, the JiTT strategy is widely used in academia and inmany cases it is web-based, where "active learner assignments and enrichment materials aredelivered to the students over the web" [23, 24, 25]. New interactive technologies, used togetherwith the JiTT approach have the potential to increase student's knowledge because (a) thelearners are actively engaged, (b) the material is delivered at the point in time that studentsneed the knowledge, and (c) they receive prompt feedback about their learning, such that theyare able to

We learnt that incorporation of lesson plans developed by theteachers into their existing courses is difficult--- there is little time to bring in new materialbecause of demands to cover standards-based content that students
