While new PIs for projects funded in the Small Projects for Institutions Newto ATE track are the primary target for PI 101, there are other types of ATE Project fundingawards made where the PI and Co-PI(s) have no NSF or NSF-ATE experience and can benefitfrom PI 101. Strategies for scaling up the intervention to address the needs of any first-time PIwill be explored.ReferencesAustin, C., Browne, W., Haas, B., Kenyatta, E., & Zulueta, S. (2013).

The practical application of engineering aligns with the findings from Capobianco et al.’s study[3]. The second category is ‘innovativeaspects of engineering’; in this category, students described the innovative aspects of engineering that we felt aligned with aspects of the engineering design process.

The engineeringfaculty who reviewed the preliminary report rejected this proposal, and the consensus was thatall engineering curricula should incorporate strengthened basic science content.

The most important thing was, they turned it around using structuredproblem solving. They did this by increasing the Value-added time and minimizing the non-value-added time – again two other Lean engineering terms. Their Time standard after the final iterationwas so much better than when they started. They used less resources, less space and the customerwas happy.The industry has a term called Cost of Doing Nothing (CODN).
