Every effort was made to ensure thatthe speaker diversity reflected that of the REU students, so that students could envisionthemselves taking the speakers’ paths. Further student-faculty interaction was provided throughweekly faculty research seminars. Each week, one faculty member presented brief vignettes oftheir research interests to the group, enabling students to learn of other imaging related researchbeyond their own projects.In addition to the program-related activities, students participated in several University-wideenrichment events. These activities included a weekly brown-bag seminar series on topics suchas Ethics, GRE preparation, Getting into Graduate School, and Abstract Writing

Using a formal design process, teams develop new products to meet industries’ competitive needs or those of people with disabilities. Students learn to solve open-ended problems and gain skills in critical thinking, professional communication, ethics, and teamwork. Rogers recently expanded this one-year program to a

As Riley writes of one ubiquitous methodologicalcommitment in particular, “The evidence-based process [of STEM education research] isinstrumental in that it is a means to a given end, and the ethics or morality of those ends is notconsidered.”4 We see “ethics or morality” configuring all research choices and along with Riley,envision a set of critical questions that could potentially increase the impact of educationalresearch upon social inequities.

Wankat goes further and links engineeringfaculty training with whether the faculty have the qualifications necessary to perform their jobfunctions in teaching26. He cites the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that “Members shall:Perform professional services only in areas of competence.” The question here is obvious: Is itethical for a chemical engineering faculty member who belongs to AIChE to teach if they are notcompetent in that area? Of course, the next question is: what defines competency in the area ofteaching? Is it competency in the material or competency in the material and the delivery of thematerial?

implies consistency across multiple courses, larger course sizes and different subject types,such as Math or Ethics, are needed to validate the preliminary findings and the proposedapproach. Looking farther into the future, research involving this approach as a tutoring style couldbe beneficial for students who are struggling in a traditionally implemented course. Conversely,for implementing this method, resources such as trained tutors can offer a different teachingstyle, online references and homework, or in-class exercises can be used to supplement thispedagogy in order to provide assurance that every possibility of education has been met.
