In this work, an innovative teaching/learning tool is presented which focuses on deep learning of some engineering skills and principles. The tool is known as the undergraduate cross-class research project (UCCRP) which relies on hands-on projects that students can work on throughout their 4–6 years of undergraduate studies with a mixture of students from all undergraduate levels and mentored by peers, TAs, and instructors. The UCCRP was successfully implemented at Texas A&M University at Qatar and the details of one project and its results are delineated here. Student selfassessment, competency based assessment, and the “structure of the observed learning outcome (SOLO)” technique are used to assess the level of attainment of the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) .  \nKey words: Experiential Learning, Project Based Learning, Achievement Goal Orientation Theory, Outcome Based Learning, Undergraduate Research.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nMost engineering schools are faced with the challenge of not only having to teach students disciplinary specific theories and concepts detailed in their curricula, but also develop skills that will make them experts in their own fields as well as lifelong learners (Chua, 2014, Bishop and Verleger, 2013, Levin and Rivka, 2008, Bitter and Pierson, 2001, Karkoub and Abdulla, 2018) . This requires a specific approach to learning which requires involving students in deep critical  \nSUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nUndergraduate Cross-Class Research Projects for Deep Learning in Engineering Education  \napproaches to learning instead of just repeating knowledge (Asikainen, 2014; Biggs, 2003; Asikainen and Gijbels, 2017) . Higher education is constantly evolving under pressure from all stakeholders to produce lifelong learners and work-ready graduates. To date, there is no clear theoretical foundation or empirical evidence that shows schools are systematically applying deep learning approaches in their classrooms (Asikainen and Gijbels, 2017 , Halinen et al. , 2013; Murtonen et al. , 2008) . Countries around the world have been working for more than two decades on improving higher education methodologies to produce quality graduates capable of meeting the demands of fast evolving job markets. In 1999, thirty-one European countries got together and signed what is known as the Bologna declaration (1999) to overhaul and unify their education system. One important aspect emphasized in the declaration and stressed again in the Paris Communiqué (2018) is that students should be able to develop by continuously building their expertise and knowledge base in their fields and learn skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. It is agreed among stakeholders in higher education that successful learning and studying in higher education should involve students in deep-level learning and understanding of their own fields (Asikainen et al. , 2014) .  \nIn the US, most reputable engineering schools are ABET accredited. ABET, formerly known asthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, has changed their accreditation criteria in the late 90s from focusing on what is taught in the classroom to what the student would be able to do after taking a particular course (Prados et al. , 2005) .
