Underlying Educational InterventionsThe Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) at theNational Academy of Engineering has developed a web-based database that summarizes theavailable research on educational interventions designed to enhance student learning, retention,and professional success (see www.PR2OVE-IT.org -- Peer Reviewed Research OfferingValidation of Effective and Innovative Teaching). The website is similar to the U.S. Departmentof Education’s What Works Clearinghouse (http://www.whatworks.ed.gov/>), except thatPR2OVE-IT does not engage in extensive pre-screening of papers for rigor. Rather, we leavejudgments of rigor up to individual users of the system and focus instead on summarizing theresults of

Determining the specifications for integrated professional curricula requires that a cleardistinction be made between the differences of traditional research-based graduate education for academicscientific research and that of practice-based professional graduate education for technology developmentand engineering leadership of systematic innovation in industry. We believe that the characteristics thatdifferentiate these two types of graduate studies can be distinguished best by using modern

Thus, thethird NCETE research theme is to conduct research regarding assessment and evaluation.

projects. They enjoy figuring out how something works and insist on practical objectives for assignments. Confluent learners have a strong desire for creativity and innovation. They are not afraid of risks or failure and prefer unique, unconventional approaches.Depending on the interaction of an individual’s patterns, strong preferences associatedwith one pattern may coincide with strong avoidances of another pattern. For example,the sequential learner’s preference for order and consistency may be evidenced as adesire for predictability, and, therefore, as a corresponding avoidance of the risk andopenness to chaos that is a characteristic of the confluent learner. In each case,knowledge of this profile provides extremely
historically marginalized communities. Alongside global partners, Taylor works with Rice360 to empower university student innovators to improve lives through invention education, a community-based model for engineering education that leverages design studios, curricular transformation led by faculty champions, administrator endorsement, and connected local innovation ecosystems. Taylor has 8 years of experience advising engineering design teams through capstone design and first year design courses. Prior to joining Rice University, Taylor worked with the Virginia Tech Center for Enhancement of Engineering Diversity and WomEng Malawi, in partnership with the Malawi Polytechnic, to design, implement, and monitor engineering
team involving allparts of these programs -- students, industry members, and faculty. Another factor is that thestrong linkages with industry in developing and delivering the curriculum naturally lead tointeractions between teaching, practice, and research. Identified gaps of knowledge lead toideas for new research studies, and this and the overall work help set priorities for future work.The background of students the authors have taught in some of the subjects listed earlier differssubstantially from those found in a traditional aerospace engineering graduate program centeredon research degree tracks. On one end of the spectrum have been students who have justreceived a bachelors degree, many of whom have no industrial design experience, and

Other limitations include the impact of transitioning institutions during theHCCS program on the data, particularly the retention of students.ActivitiesThe scholars conducted research in Human–Centered Computing and worked on projects relatedto accessibility, biometrics, virtual humans, virtual reality, educational technologies, informationtechnology policy and social computing. Many participated in structured and un–structuredprograms designed to mentor undergraduate student researchers.
