Engineering - Materials Science (57)This project is focused on increasing student involvement in active undergraduate research activities across engineering disciplines, primarily in the freshmen and sophomore years. This is being done by developing a two stage program. The first aspect is an intensive summer camp to provide basic information about research skills and techniques that are broadly applicable to science and engineering. After successfully completing the week-long summer program, students enter the second stage of the program; a mentoring and seminar program during the school year to pair students with faculty on campus. Faculty members from four engineering disciplines are participating in both the camp and school year programs. Up to 20 students per year are participating in the program. The program is creating new teaching strategies while providing a core group of faculty from several engineering programs an opportunity to develop expertise in a unique format of education not commonly carried out at universities. The program is being evaluated via a control group to assess measurable outcomes that include increased student participation in research and retention in engineering.

工程-材料科学（57）这个项目的重点是增加学生参与活跃的本科研究活动跨工程学科，主要是在大一和大二。这是通过制定一个两阶段计划来实现的。 第一个方面是一个密集的夏令营，提供有关广泛适用于科学和工程的研究技能和技术的基本信息。 在成功完成为期一周的暑期课程后，学生进入该计划的第二阶段;在学年期间的辅导和研讨会计划，将学生与校园内的教师配对。 来自四个工程学科的教师参加了夏令营和学年计划。 每年有多达20名学生参加该计划。该计划正在创建新的教学策略，同时为来自多个工程项目的核心教师提供机会，以在大学不常见的独特教育形式发展专业知识。 该计划正在通过一个对照组进行评估，以评估可衡量的成果，包括增加学生参与研究和保留工程。
