With support from HBCU-UP (Historically Black College and University – Undergraduate Program) at National Science Foundation (NSF), the ACTION (Advanced Curriculum and Technology-Based Instructional Opportunities Network) program at University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) is promoting inquiry based active learning and research projects among undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) majors. This paper highlights efforts of selected freshman and sophomore engineering majors while performing ACTION projects at UMES. Integration of Lego-Mindstorm Robotic Invention System as well as ProEngineer and ProMechanica software for solid modeling and analysis are the focus of the reported endeavors. Involvement in ACTION projects have not only reinforced concepts introduced in classroom setting but have inspired students to be engaged in the process of learning and discovery well beyond expectations of the course syllabi, format, and structure.
