In our approach, each topic is presented in a lecture or a series of lectures.Students then receive assignments consisting of two parts, the first asks them to reflect on andexplain the implications of the topic within the framework of innovation in materials or materialintensive industries. This ensures the students have completed the suggested readings and haveunderstood the content of the lecture(s).

National Science Foundation is to support “basic scientific researchand research fundamental to the engineering process.” This doesn’t mean that NSF willsupport any kind of research, as long as it is of high quality. Rather, the perspective atNSF is that they are funding things in the national good [5]. Since it is not possible tosupport all high-quality research, priorities need to be established. This involvestradeoffs between activities that may not be directly comparable. Is solving an openproblem in cybersecurity more important than, say, developing better methods to makebuildings earthquake safe?

Education, 2015 Understanding Missions for Engineering Outreach and Service: How New Engineering Faculty Can Learn from Past Generations of Ph.D.-holding Engineers and Engineering EducatorsAbstractTeaching, research, and service are the three “arms” of academic success, especially for newfaculty. The roles of teaching and research are relatively concrete in disciplinary standards, butservice is more ambiguous. This paper reflects on the service and outreach of prior generationsof Ph.D.-holding engineers to more fully interrogate the idea of what service means in thecontext of being an expert in the field.

We further asked our students to reflect on thisexperimental fact and to propose the mechanism(s) responsible for this dissipation.
