, for many students, Conceptual Physics will be the final science coursethey take for the rest of their lives. The quality of their physics education may therefore have alasting impact on their scientific literacy and their attitudes toward science. “Learners are awareof and control their learning by actively participating in reflective thinking – assessing what theyknow, what they need to know, and how they bridge that gap – during learning situations”.(MacDonald, 2009) In this grant-funded research project, students were asked to performreflections through journal writing after each class. They needed to include date, list of activitiesdone in class, what they have learned from today’s activities and questions/comments they stillhave

Undergraduate Research (NCUR) has been an annual conference since 1987.NCUR’s primary goal is to promote undergraduate research in all fields of study.National Science Foundation (NSF) funds undergraduate research through Research Experiencesfor Undergraduates (REU) program. Providing research experiences for undergraduate studentsand increasing the number of students interested in graduate programs are the goals of the REUprogram. Students work on REU projects during summer months for 8 to 10 weeks. REUprograms entail several benefits to students including increased awareness of their discipline andtechnical expertise, better career opportunities, gains in confidence levels, and elevated likelihoodof pursuing graduate degrees and research careers.6

The course expounds on the interconnections between natural resources, energy, supplychains, and consumer demand and our current limitations. In this way, students can connect theirengineering training and skills to the challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure fortomorrow.During the second portion of the course, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), students learn the theoryof LCA as well as obtain some hands on experience by applying this approach to compare twosimilar products using Gabi software.
