Chicago State University has partnered with the University of Alaska at Anchorage to implement their RBSEU (Research-Based Science Education for Undergraduates) curricula in both our introductory and advanced undergraduate astronomy courses. The curricula engage students in the scientific enterprise, with real research. We have adapted three of the RBSEU projects: "Killer Asteroids", "Photometric Redshift", and "Making Color Images" for use with our students. We have also administered course assessments for the introductory courses. We describe our implementation in the introductory course, preliminary research on the effectiveness of the materials, and the successes and challenges we face as the project expands to different instructional environments. We also describe the research results of students working on these projects as part of their advanced undergraduate astronomy training.
