Training System Design CourseCourse Description and DesignThis course was initially designed to prepare engineering students to make effective training anddevelopment decisions within their organizations. Specifically, the course emphasizedconducting training-needs analysis, training design and development, training technology, andprocedures to evaluate training effectiveness. The course customarily began with an introductionof some fundamental principles of performance to help analyze the causes of performanceproblems. It then addressed topics of adult learning and training principles, and how to applythese topics to individuals, teams, and organizations.During the first classroom session of the revamped role-play designed course, the usual

The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and

Moreover, students cited GTAenthusiasm and attitude as facilitating the students‟ learning.
