and how to launch an academic career. However, while overall productivity in theresearch laboratory is likely to increase by involving more individuals in the enterprise,productivity based on some measures (e.g., rate of publication in archival journals) may or maynot increase. It is easy to imagine a scenario in which time devoted by faculty and graduatestudents to educating an undergraduate in the laboratory, at least temporarily, undermines otherlaboratory activities.While the overall benefits of engaging undergraduates in research are clear, compelling, andborne out over time and at scale, the individual experiences of the involved undergraduatestudents, graduate students, and faculty face some risks and challenges [6].

experience in Quito, students immerse themselves inTa culturally rich setting, applying engineering design to local water quality and pollution challenges. The program emphasizes practical application of engineering concepts through hands-on laboratory experiments, guest lectures, and multiple industry site visits, facilitated in partnership with Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ). Students also deepen their understanding of Ecuadorian culture through excursions such as a Quito city tour, a USFQ campus tour, a visit to Quito’s artisanal market, and a visit to the Papallacta hot springs. Combined with classroom discussions and extensive First-Year Engineering Design (FEDD) project experimentation and work

This training builds from the U.S. NSFI-Corps Program launched in 2011. I-Corps is to prepare “scientists and engineers to extend theirfocus beyond the laboratory to increase the economic and societal impact of NSF-funded andother basic research projects” [16]. This

involving teaching,research, and administrative duties (Campbell & Slaughter, 1999).Utilization of University ResourcesAcademic entrepreneurship can lead to the misuse of university resources, such as laboratories,libraries, servers, offices, equipment, supplies, and personnel, for a researcher’s private ventures.For example, faculty may use university-maintained research facilities to develop a product ortechnology that directly benefits their startup. They may use software, databases, computationaltools, or data generated through university-funded research for purposes beyond academic work.They may also assign startup work to graduate and undergraduate students or other researchpersonnel funded by the university, blurring the line between
journals, laboratory notes, files, and sketches that document discoveries, ideas, design details, and implementation strategies. Now it is your turn to document your insights, understandings, experiences, inspirations, and ideas! The goal of this portfolio is to help you document your creativity enhancement throughout this course and to help you build a habit of creativity for your future.The more nuanced learning objectives of the Portfolio include that as a result of this project,students will: 1. Produce a complete, functional, and appealing system to record and cultivate ideas daily. 2. Enhance their creativity by re-kindling their curiosity, discovering opportunities, and practicing ideation. 3
