the applications. As they learn more about theproblems, the students often realize the need to re-formulate them, or the need to ask morequestions or obtain more data. They also realize that in industry one needs the best possibleanswer in the time frame dictated by design and production constraints. Students who are used toworking individually on math problems discover the need for teamwork. In meetings with the Page 12.67.4sponsor, students often learn that their analysis will be used to make a real decision, in somecases expensive decisions. This has an impact that homework and tests cannot imitate. Finally,they learn to communicate their

Only after replicating established practices did faculty feel comfortable leveraging thepower of Tablet PCs and DyKnow

thebarriers) based upon available information and machine technology and common principles ofcognitive science improved student learning in an undergraduate electrical and computerengineering class (p. 331). They used this evidence to argue for instructional innovations thatare generalizable rather than discipline specific, scalable rather than comprehensive, and easy toimplement rather than resource-intensive (p. 332). While Seymour25 acknowledged that evidence of improved student learning (e.g., Butler 4et al. ) is commonly considered a “necessary condition” for transfer of research-basedinstructional innovations to practice in STEM, she suggested that this evidence may not, of itself,be “sufficient” when considering the adoption
