, student teams take aproduct from the concept stage to the manufacturing floor. In this course, lectures are rarelyused. Students are challenged to learn what they needed to accomplish their goals, rather thanhaving the instructors deliver all of the information that they might require. The fact that thestudents are working on their own product concepts may have had a positive influence on theirmotivation to learn as well. In a second course, at the graduate level, students are asked to “deepread” a technical paper related to the course. The students are given a methodology for deepreading a technical paper and are required to prepare a written evaluation of the paper. Themethodology is designed to assist the students in doing an “expert” level

Graduate students from all of Stanford divisions take courses. “Multi-disciplinary pools of teachers then immerse them in a system of innovative thinking, with specific goals for solving practical problems.”43 Key d school elements include a highly-flexible physical environment, interdisciplinary teams, and emphasis on constructing prototypes, as crude as they may be, in keeping with the “build to think” philosophy. According to David Kelley, the d school’s founder and leader, products created by the six-year old institute have

However, the students’ perceptions ofthe course’s potential impact on personal values remained relatively the same. This suggests thatthe curriculum was effective considering its course outcomes. Ultimately, this paper provides anexample for curriculum design and evaluation that may help frame service-learning courses inthe future and encourage future research on attitude change in similar contexts.BackgroundIn 1979, Robert Sigmon defined service-learning as an educational approach reliant on“reciprocal education” achieved through interactions in the community [4].

AbstractThe National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program isspecifically designed to support workforce development that primarily takes place in technicianeducation programs offered at two-year colleges across the nation. Even so, NSF grant funding isinfrequently or never pursued by most two-year colleges even though there is a need for fundingto support high-cost, high-impact STEM programs. Since two-year colleges are focused onteaching vs. research, securing grants is seldom, if ever, required or recognized as important aspart of employee performance review, tenure, and promotion processes at these institutions. As aresult, technical/STEM faculty members typically do not have prior grant experience, nor dothey
