Importantly, the research study emphasizes the delicate balance mentors must strike betweenproviding guidance and encouraging student autonomy, allowing mentees to take ownership oftheir work while offering supportive oversight. By examining mentorship programs across variousinstitutions, this research aims to identify and recommend best practices for integrating meaningfulresearch experiences into undergraduate engineering education. The insights presented contributeto the ongoing discourse

This dynamicpositions GTAs as crucial facilitators of both subject matter and research-based knowledge,potentially impacting students' satisfaction and perception of value in their laboratoryexperiences [13]. However, the effectiveness of GTAs is contingent upon their ability tointegrate subject matter expertise with

Similar conclusions were drawn by IDEO on the topic of energy efficiency in a2009 study for the Department of Energy13.The upshot of their research efforts was that it led to a number of new ideas and directionsfor their design project. They now began asking how can practicing design engineersinnovate in this field? Their goal became innovation, in the sense of searching for new ideasthat lead to a significant impact on society. They concluded that investigating new energyefficiency technologies would be an unlikely path to innovation because of the lack ofinterest on the part of consumers.ConclusionsThe two students working on the Now House Project were able to find a new direction,entirely

However,how these practices develop over time and what is appropriate for students to learn at differentgrade levels has not been determined. This study examined the development of middle schoolstudents' engineering practices through an informal, distance-learning engineering program.Ninety assessment videos from 30 students across three engineering design activities wereanalyzed using a qualitative research design.

Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)initiative aims to recruit students to careers in research and has funded over 1,700 sites totalingover $435 million (of which over 600 sites receiving $171 million in funding are presentlyactive)1. Research by the STEM education community concurs that these research experienceshave a positive influence on undergraduates in a variety of ways. Yet, many of the specificaspects of the nature benefits to participants and how they accrue to participants are not knownor well understood.Prior work by the first author used Lent’s Social Cognitive Career Theory to study the impact ofREU programs on undergraduate students’ self efficacy for graduate school and researchcareers2.

things work as proposed, andsometimes they never figure it out.Most researchers are familiar with the need to evaluate the end results of a completed project,which in the professional evaluation community is termed outcomes evaluation (or impactevaluation). While necessary for funded projects, outcomes evaluation is summative—at best itmight reveal what the researchers should have done, but it comes too late to change what theyactually did. A formative approach called utilization-focused evaluation helps project leadersmonitor and improve their project throughout its term.1 A particularly powerful utilization-focused technique is implementation evaluation (or process evaluation), in which a trainedevaluator is brought into a project from its

Integrated ethics content canencourage students to practice “what is right to do and how will my decisions impact thesociotechnical and societal norms within society?” The process of seeking answers for thesequestions can help students to recognize the ethical and moral conflicts as a part of designproblems. In a complex design process, there are often conflicts, and these potential conflictsshould be considered simultaneously by design engineers [7].Researchers conceptualize the design process and propose moral reflections with distinctapproaches that are informed by empirical research in socio-technical contexts [6].
