AB  - Practical learning is an inherent part of the engineering curriculum. Engineering students best learn the course material through intensive hands-on experiences. Research and independent study opportunities allow students to directly apply their engineering knowledge to real-world problems as a continuation of their in-class learning. The research and independent study opportunities under the guidance of an ECE professor described in this paper have provided students with unique experiences to augment their coursework with diverse applications as well as increasing agency in their developing engineering careers. Agency in education allows students to create rather than seek out learning opportunities. The students can also get practice with innovative problem-solving — promoting innovative thinking is crucial to develop as an adaptive expert. One proposed adaptive expertise framework differentiates two dimensions a learner may develop: efficiency and innovation. Undergraduate education focuses on widening the breadth of the content a student is exposed to – an expert, in a classical sense, is defined as being efficient when solving routine problems. On the other hand, an adaptive expert can innovate when faced with problems that are not routine. The latter is the product of incorporating student-centric learning into the undergraduate curriculum – providing future experts with the innovative space to foster their professional and personal skills to become better practising engineers. The learners are challenged through open-ended design problems as the work is often student-led. These experiences provide practical skills, but they are essential as well in building professional skills such as teamwork, leadership, troubleshooting, and best design practices. This paper describes our recent efforts to provide more adaptive learning experiences via building and testing a novel Mach effect sensor technology over the past few years in summer research and independent study opportunities at __________ University in the College of Engineering. This work should be of interest to engineering faculty and students as it demonstrates the critical role independent study and summer research can play in enhancing and deepening engineering education.
