other benefits of UR are found to be better operating skills of the equipment and machine tools, better understanding of technical and professional writing, better interpersonal and public speaking skills and so on. Those interpersonal and professional skills better prepare them for industry jobs. All the students participating in UR were more successful in job searches as compared to their peers. • Faculty also benefitted from UR, especially with more teaching loads at primarily undergraduate institutes. The findings from this study suggests that both faculty and students can be benefitted by engaging undergraduate students early in their college career and engaging them longer in the project

Attitudesdetermine how an engineer uses knowledge and skills and they reflect one’s values and how oneperceives and reacts to the world.4 Johnston5 writes, “An attitude is simply a predisposition toapproach or avoid an idea, event, person or object. In other words, it is a tendency to act in oneway or another toward an ‘attitude object.’" Attitudes do not exist in a vacuum; they require anobject toward which to act. Attitudes can be positive and negative and either might beappropriate given the object toward which the attitude acts.Several have shown that “attitudes” are important in the effective use of knowledge and skillswhen accomplishing engineering tasks.

A module ends with a written final report which is used for assessment; toensure consistency in project evaluation a rubric is given to students. Written, rather than oral,reports are used since research indicates group work by students is a more positive experiencewhen oral presentations are not required [17].
