theIncubator. However, typically an M.S. graduate student will concentrate on coursework duringthe first year, and on a thesis project during the second year. Also, knowledge gained from thefirst-year coursework and familiarity with facilities, equipment and laboratory procedures may beimportant to the success in research areas. Contrary to this normal flow, a first-year graduatestudent that commits to work with an Innovation Incubator client may be required to begin worksoon after arriving at the University. Since the standard commitment between the Incubator and aClient is for 12 months, then effectively the research work is front-loaded for the student. This is acultural change that carries with it both positive and negative consequences. An

Some program alums explained that they were still in contact with their Japanese research hosts. Others described that the NanoJapan program itself provided them with a valuable network of peers interested in science, with whom they could consult about graduate school and career options.5.0 Impact on STEM EducationIn 2008, the NanoJapan Program was awarded an IIE Heiskell Award as a ‘Best Practice inStudy Abroad’ for expanding

Also, it isknown that engineering programs should graduate engineers who can design effectively to meetsocial and environmental needs. Though the role and perception of design across a wide range ofeducational institutions have improved markedly in recent years; however, both

What has been learned as a result of this experience isthat undergraduates are capable and highly motivated partners in research projects and in theconception, design, implementation, and operation of complex aerospace systems.ConclusionsThe CDIO capstone innovation represented one of the first efforts of the Department ofAeronautics and Astronautics to develop an aerospace product from concept to operation in thefield with a group of undergraduates working within the framework of a formal course. Theinnovation had some clear successes. Team interaction clearly evolved from a faculty

We thenshare the approaches we have taken to making coding feasible, from assessing the reliability todeveloping a new self-directed training for coders. We address the following research questions:• To what extent are DSTs valid for informing faculty of the development of problem framing skills, using validity-as-argument dimensions?• To what extent is the coding scheme, which measures factual/conceptual design problem representation, design practices, and design style, able to be applied in a feasible yet reliable manner across coders?Developing an assessment of design problem

Thisdescription of technology indicates that the paradigm of diffusion research focuses on thoseinnovations which have relatively well defined outcomes where one of the desired feature for theinnovation is to reduce the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationship. This is in contrast tosome of the innovative ideas and practices in contemporary education that call for open-endedstudent directed interactive learning20–23. Learning from this perspective is considered to be anon-linear process that has emergent outcomes without much focus on the cause-effectrelationships within the process

Entrepreneurial Idea Pitch and Research Proposal Competitions often determine theaward of cash prizes [ e.g. $100,000 at MIT] and scarce resources. The recipients of these awards aredetermined by judging processes. These judging processes are rarely audited or evaluated as to quality orconsistency. We contend that judging processes will be more fair and perceived as less subjective with a highlevel of consensus between judges [interrater agreement], especially for those ranked as best. Our researchcalculates aWG for idea pitch competitions, identifies interventions that improved interrater agreement over timeincluding external factors that may support higher quality judging processes.

developers use it a lot outside of academia,one application of Slack in the classroom is in software development [17], [21]. Additionally, thesoftware has been used to support scientific research [19], [22], student seminar reflection andcollaboration, and graduate thesis work [14], [18]. These are examples of Slack’s use as acollaborative tool for students. But, research on Slack’s use in the classroom is very limitedespecially when considering its potential in an engineering design context.EGN3000L is the course presented in this paper.
