Abstract
In this paper we present an experience of introducing a research experience for undergraduates (REU) course to the VI semester students of B. V. B. College of Engineering and Technology (BVBCET), Hubli. We use survey data to discuss impact of the course in enhancing the attainment of learning outcomes. The course is designed to expose the students to realistic technological research experience. The student under the guidance and supervision of a faculty carries out activities like formulation of research problem, literature survey, conduct of research and reporting of results. They are encouraged write and present paper on the basis of their fi ndings. A college wide a one-day open house is conducted where the experts interact with REU students and give their inputs. The survey results demonstrate that the perception of the students about the course is positive.
