Hanson, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology James Hanson is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology where he has been teaching since 2002. Among the courses he teaches is the capstone design course where he has begun to introduce training on innovation to complement the systems approach to design. He has received several teaching and paper awards including the ASEE
years teaching fourth grade in Baltimore as a Teach for America corps member. After her teaching commitment, she moved to the American Institutes for Research where she worked with Department of Education clients on several research and evaluation projects.

she conducted research in transportation and sustainability as part of the Infrastruc- ture Research Group (IRG). In addition to the Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Dr. Barrella holds a Master of City and Regional Planning (Transportation) from Georgia Institute of Technology and a B.S. in Civil En- gineering from Bucknell University. Dr. Barrella has investigated best practices in engineering education since 2003 (at Bucknell University) and began collaborating on sustainable engineering design research while at Georgia Tech. Prior to joining the WFU faculty, she led the junior capstone design sequence at James Madison University, was the inaugural director of the NAE Grand Challenges Program at JMU, and developed
entrepreneurship program which enrolls over 1000 students from all majors. As part of the program, she has established en- trepreneurship capstone, global entrepreneurship, and women and leadership courses and initiatives. Her research has focused on the assessment of entrepreneurship education, the impact of entrepreneurship education on engineering students, IP policy as it relates to undergraduates, and women and leadership. Prior to her work in academia, Duval-Couetil spent several years in the field of market research and busi- ness strategy consulting in Europe and the United States with Booz Allen and Hamilton and Data and Strategies Group. She was recently elected to the board of the United States Association for Small

Her research interests focus on educational studies that can help improve teaching, learning, and educational policy decision makings using both quantitative and qual- itative research methods. Her current research project in National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter) focuses on measuring engineering students’ entrepreneurial interests and related individual characteristics. Her Ph.D. dissertation involved using statistical modeling methods to explain and predict
communication and business components in the engineeringprofession and includes a multi-disciplinary capstone design experience for which teams areeligible for student venture grants administered by the institution. Several multi-year grants havestrengthened the program through workshops, keynote speakers, faculty curriculum awards,student venture grants, and faculty incentives to work with industry sponsored student teams.
