representatives. While the ROV project is the highlight of the class, the maingoal of the class is to help students understand how to work in teams of four or five students andeffectively communicate both within the team and to external stakeholders.Faculty and StaffThe course is instructed by two or three co-instructors: one technical lecturer and one or twotechnical communication lecturers. They share lecture time, and the technical communicationlecturer(s) also act as the smaller twenty person discussion section lead(s). The labs are led by aprofessional lab manager and four instructional assistants (IAs) who are selected by the facultyfrom upper-class students who excelled in the class when they took it during their first year.

showed very positive agreement that the content and skillsfrom the TWC were applied and developed at the internship, and that they were able to return toclassroom with enhanced communication skills and knowledge. Considering these factors, it iseasily concluded that students are making the important connection between their TWC coursematerials and their necessity in the engineering field.Questions 4 and 5’s relatively high scores indicate that students are attributing educational valueto their internship experiences. Students are gaining a motivation for deeper engagement withtheir TWC course as they see a direct application of content in their internships. Moreover,students are gaining a better understanding of the professional skill set of

especially true at public institutions driven toexpand access while improving retention rates, based on performance metrics set by the state.Retention studies have been conducted for nearly every sub-population including women andmany racial and ethnic groups. Some of the work has shifted to intersectional analyses—forexample, Archer’s exploration of black male students’ resistance to “geeky” identities [10], orJohnson et al.’s study which highlights some Native American and Latina women’s preference towork as scientists within their ethnic communities as a method of balancing ethnic andengineering identities [11]. However, less work has been done on the interactions that occuracross different student cohorts. Indeed, scholars have argued that due
throughout the country. Finally, 348 questionnaires were collected, of which 284 were valid. The Cronbach ’s α coefficient of all items is 0.955. 4.2 Descriptive statistics of samples The industries of respondents cover multiple industries such as “Machinery and Transportation Engineering”, “Information and Electronic Engineering” and so on. Theindustries distribution of respondents is shown in Figure 3. The organization ofrespondents is shown in Table 2. 58.8% units have more than 1,000 people and 14.79%have 501-1000 people, indicating that TRIZ is mainly applied in large and medium-sized units. As for the nature of the units surveyed, state-owned enterprises, privateenterprises, and research institutes account for 33.47%, 34.275,29.84
REACT is currently limited to teachers within the state, we feel the best way to reachother states is by sharing our model with other research institutions around the country. We arecurrently working with a research group at Cornell University to implement a similar annualworkshop that will serve their region. 10References[1] A.
