As such, teacher professional development programs and courses that focus onteaching engineering with real-world problems emerge as catalysts for transformative teachingpractices. In the context of this study, we delve into a 3-hour graduate course entitledNanoEnvironmental Engineering for Teachers (NEET) offered free of cost at Rice University,Arizona State University, Yale University, and the University of Texas at El Paso under theNanosystems Engineering Research Center for Nanotechnology-Enabled Water Treatment(NEWT). The NEET class is designed for AP Environmental Science, Environmental Systems,Biology or Life Sciences, and K-12 STEM teachers to learn about water

In a breakdown of theteamwork outcome, researchers found a focus on global/cultural competence (for both teammembers and clients), project management, and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as somefocus on societal concerns, distributed teamwork, leadership

Productfamily planning places a much higher demand on management of information of multiple typesand from multiple sources. In response, researchers at four universities are collaborating on thedevelopment of an information technology infrastructure to support product platform planning.This is a relatively new development in engineering design that is typically not part of theundergraduate education; therefore, we see an intrinsic relationship between the need forintegrating the development of research directly with educational enhancements to teach studentsabout these concepts.

It is not the purpose of this paper to revisit thislong history of tension between basic and applied research but to signal the push for ‘researchtranslation’ by development agencies like USAID, the emergence of certain forms of researchtranslation in academic circles (mainly as a translation of basic research into innovation andentrepreneurship), and the implications of these developments in the formation and training ofengineering graduate students committed to ECD.While some form of research translation can be implied from NSF’s broader impacts Criterion 2,the agency has struggled with the applicability of basic research throughout its history, as ‘basicresearch’ standing depends heavily on its alleged
