research to communities beyond the laboratory and address the work’s possible“Broader Impacts” to society. NSF CAREER awards and many of the NSF Research Centergrant solicitations are even more explicit, requiring that grantees craft educational initiatives thatare based in best practices, bring the academic research to the broader community, and positivelyimpact the pipeline of students pursuing science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) education and careers. For new faculty, and even veteran faculty, these requirementsfor creative educational initiatives that significantly affect a community outside the confines ofthe laboratory can be very daunting. This paper addresses how to design an effective educationalplan that incorporates

. Grantham Lough served as a research scientist for 21st Century Systems where she has added risk assessment techniques to their existing defense software products. Also, she was involved with projects to identify both hardware and software failures in mechatronic systems. She received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at UMR in 2005. Dr. Grantham Lough’s current research interests are product design theory and methodology, sustainable design, as well as failure and risk identification and mitigation.

recognized expert in the field.“Academic impact” involves assessment and selection of activities among the many available tomake every day count for tangible benefit to somebody or something. It involves defendingacademic freedom so that one can maintain the autonomy and flexibility to make this selectionwithin certain bounds. It involves avoidance of fluff, fads, and bandwagons in favor ofsubstance, and streamlining bureaucratic busywork and other trivia as much as possible. Page 14.293.13It also involves adherence to one’s primary mission. For a full-time researcher, this may beperforming the best and most impactive research possible in a worthy

National Engineering Award in 2003, the highest honor given by AAES. In 2002 she was named the Distinguished Engineering Educator by the Society of Women Engineers. Her awards are based on her mentoring of students, especially women and underrepresented minority students, and her research in the areas of recruitment and retention. A SWE and ASEE Fellow, she is a frequent speaker on career opportunities and diversity in engineering.
