service-learning can be offered as part of students’ senior (capstone) design projects, when the NAE GCSPis not available to the students. Service-learning can facilitate the integration of applied research into the real-worldapplications [13]-[28]. This paper promotes research-informed service-learning approach inproject-based service-learning by integrating research into service-learning through education. Inthis paper, examples of research-informed practice for university graduate and undergraduateprojects are given, and service-learning is discussed as a powerful tool in education. The paperfurther discusses case studies of research-informed service-learning as a complementary approachto project-based curriculum and educational activities
research work the studentsconducted and may not be directly relevant to the education theme, but they represent a sample ofthe writing the student prepared at the end of the internship.2. Literature Review and Best Practices There are many works published on research internship as a vehicle for improving engineering education [4-11]. The target population for research internship varies from high school students [4], to undergraduate students [5], graduate students [6], and faculty [7]. A common observation in all these works is that internship experience does improve the educational outcome for the participants. When it is targeted for high school students, it can assist in increasing diversity in STEM disciplines by encouraging female

Withdetailed description of the pedagogical approach, assessment methods, and learning outcomes, thispaper aims to systematically review the successful implementation of the NSTI program at CPP and thelessons learned. The following section provides a more detailed description about the NSTI-CPP program’sdevelopment process, the scope, and the implementation.2. Program Pedagogical ApproachTime Frame and Target Group. FHWA sent out the request for proposal via Caltrans. Over the course ofthree months, numerous discussions were held among PI/Co-PIs, instructors, guest speakers and field triphosts to ensure a well-designed program. The PI also worked with the Office of Research, bus
has potential to improve the teaching and learning of lower divisionengineering courses. While some educators are optimistic about the potential impact that flippedclassroom teaching might provide, there are still many challenges to overcome duringimplementation. One of the major challenges faced by course developers, especially first-timedevelopers, is to manage the heavy workload needed to design an effective practice that issuitable for their unique student body. This paper presents an iterative framework to help easethe adoption and continuous improvement of flipped classroom teaching, so that students’learning experience can be optimized over time. The framework is composed of two phases – theinitial design phase and the iterative tuning
