Significantresearch has already been reported on the topic of transfer students. For example, see theTransfer Playbook by the Aspen Institute: (https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/media/k2/attachments/transfer-playbook-essential-practices.pdf).Mason and NOVA are relying on documented best practices to design and implementADVANCE. We are drawing on these resources to design ADVANCE, with the goal of buildinga blueprint for Virginia and a transfer model that is scalable across the country.

The instruments used for the mixed methods approach included an engineering Page 23.166.9design conception survey (taken by all participants), semi-structured interviews (conducted witha sample from each of three study group participant sets), and design presentation/projectassessment using a rubric (for only the student study groups).

The University of Pittsburgh’s School of Engineering is addressing these issuesby educating a cadre of PhD researchers as part of a recently established Integrative GraduateEducation and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Program in sustainability. We present our plan tocreate an innovative sustainable engineering graduate program, with primary research foci ingreen construction and sustainable water use. This interdisciplinary initiative will involvefaculty and students from across the School. To best address global concerns, we have partneredwith the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Sao Paolo, Brazil to provide an eight-monthinternational research rotation for all IGERT Fellows.

: Provide the opportunity for the students to innovate and express individual creativity.The product design simulation described in this paper is structured in such a manner as toattempt to best achieve these goals. The course contains very little formal instruction and most ofthe student-faculty interaction is one-on-one. There are 6 hours each week of dedicated “designstudio time” during which the students work with the instructor, graduate teaching assistants andtechnical consultants. The students are encouraged to try to exploit the technical skills developedin their previous courses as they develop concepts and work to demonstrate the technicalfeasibility of their ideas. Significant emphasis is placed upon: Gathering quantitative information

These curriculum and learning materials illustrate the potential of earthquake engineering as a context for learning and demonstrate how research can be integrated with and used to support formal education.Informal Education Informal settings such as museums offer excellent venues for communicating social, cultural and scientific information, correcting misconceptions, and transforming attitudes and

For example, Atman and her colleagues [16] presented a modelof design that is both prescriptive and descriptive; the model was developed based on a synthesisof engineering textbooks (that are prescriptive of how design should be practiced) but also usedto describe engineering design processes through empirical findings based on analysis of video-recordings of the design behaviors of engineers, engineering students and designers [16]. On theother hand, comprehensive models like the Informed Design Matrix of Crismond and Adams[17] have synthesized several existing research findings and theories on design and designthinking, and

In this context, the term ‘critical’ experienceswas defined as the most memorable or important entrepreneurship-related experiencesengineering students identified within the constraints of a one hour interview. These ‘critical’experiences, also synonymous with critical events or critical incidents, are likely to have had aprofound impact on the storyteller (Bohl, 1995; Webster & Mertova, 2007) and often contributeto personal development, accelerated learning, (Woods, 1993) or radical changes within a person(Webster & Mertova, 2007). The overall research study methods were thus centered onextracting these entrepreneurship-related critical experiences and their impacts from theparticipants. These critical experiences were then
