Dr. Blake Everett Johnson received his doctorate in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2012. Dr. Johnson now works as a lecturer and lab manager in the De- partment of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois. While remaining interested and active in the field of experimental fluid mechanics, he has chosen to spend most of his professional energy on improving the teaching of thermo/fluids laboratory courses through the development of en- gaging and intellectually-stimulating laboratory exercises, as well as improving introductory mechanics education and design courses in the MechSE department.Dr. Matthew D.

fourth year of existence in theChemical Engineering department. Briefly, the REU program sought to offer hands-on researchexperiences to a diverse group of undergraduate students with research projects focused ontopics at the interface of biology and materials including biomimetics, bioinspiration,bioderivation, and biosourcing. More specifically, the program had five main objectives: 1)Enhance the diversity of students involved in interdisciplinary research; 2) Provide an overviewof career opportunities and prepare students for future careers; 3) Provide a solid grounding in awide range of analytical skills that will serve as a set of transferable laboratory and/or simulationresearch skills to participating students; 4) Teach collaborative

Sustainabil- ity Practices, energy management of Data Centers and to establish Sustainable strategies for enterprises. He is an Affiliate Researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, focusing on the energy efficiency of IT Equipment in a Data Centers. As a means of promoting student-centric learning, Prof. Radhakrishnan has successfully introduced games in to his sustainability classes where students demonstrate the 3s of sustainability, namely, Environment, Economics and Equity, through games. Stu- dents learn about conservation (energy, water, waste, equity, etc.) through games and quantifying the results. He has published papers on this subject and presented them in conferences.

al. suggested that instead oflibrarians, a co-taught model with a departmental faculty member and a librarian would improvethe ability for the course to put theory into practice. The DMP assignment in the Thielen workresulted in a large range of DMPs: from 3 to 26 pages. The authors note that they will revise theassignment in the future to be more explicit. Our experience from this course indicates that thismight be a result of no distinction between the short, funding proposal DMP and the longer,laboratory DMP. A distinction between these two different DMPs and suggestions on how toteach each is included in a separate presentation.[27] From the variety of previous approaches to teaching RDM at the graduate level, twothemes emerge: 1

then, she has been a professor of electrical engineering at Ecole de technologie sup´erieure ´ (ETS), where she teaches undergraduate courses in algorithms, biomedical instrumentation and medical imaging. Her research focuses on medical ultrasound image analysis, and aims to address problems re- lating to image acquisition, image segmentation and registration, 3D reconstruction, tracking and shape analysis using statistical methods. As an adjunct researcher at Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Cen- tre, she is currently developing applications of ultrasound image analysis for non-invasive follow-up of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and the analysis of tongue motion for the study of speech production

conceptualize the relationship between research and the creative process after participating in the REU program? 3. How do faculty members incorporate concepts of the creative process into the laboratory experiences of the REU students? Do the approaches used by faculty influence how students’ conceptualize research and the creative process?This study builds on the previous work by Huffstickler, et al. (2017) by focusing more closely onstudents’ understanding of research and its relationship to the creative process. In addition,changes were made in the 2017 program to better train supervising faculty on the relationshipbetween the creative process and the scientific method. In addition, because graduate students areprimarily
