First, with large number graduate students matriculating frominternational undergraduate programs, many students lack the ABET-required skills such asworking in multidisciplinary teams; understanding professional and ethical responsibility; andunderstanding the economic, environmental, and societal impact of their decisions.2,3Communications skills are also an issue.4 Second, for many universities the typical target forplacement of doctoral students is in

success of the project. For example, Robert originally did not evaluate eachindividual’s strengths and instead assigned each person parts without a specific direction. Helater found that the roles had to be redistributed because group members did not know how to dotheir parts, so the tasks were then divided by strengths and were more successfully completed.Similarly, Stanley noted that when delegating tasks for their virtual team project, pairing teammembers with tasks that fit their major helped in keeping the project going smoothly by havingcomputer science majors complete the website and the mechanical engineering majors focus onproduct design and feasibility. When team member strengths and weaknesses, work ethic, andcommunication expectations

mentioned, to be due to large amounts of focus in courses outside of the“pure” engineering courses of math and science, and the integration of multiple areas ofstudy into one that is typically considered difficult. Almost any fundamental course in thefield of engineering requires knowledge of math, science, coding, and ethical restraints,proper handling of which in turn begs a deeper understanding than the surface-level,simplified “sum of its parts.” The LL program’s intended design was to adjoin theseseemingly separate modes of thinking, and present math and science in the context ofengineering, and vice versa. Integrating active learning as well as shifted contexts of thestandard topics in core and first-year engineering courses was designed to

andTechnology (ABET), “engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs.” The aim is to optimize time and materials while still producing aquality product through “establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis,construction, testing and evaluation.” Engineers must be aware of the realistic constraints of theirproject, such as, “economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.” Adiagram showing the details of the process is shown on Figure 3. Following the engineeringdesign process is crucial to finishing a project successfully.Schools with ABET accreditation, such as CSULA, include the engineering design process invarious courses throughout the curriculum

level.University of Arizona Student Chapter. Here, at the University of Arizona, the ASEE chapterwas formed on an interdisciplinary model that includes a network of faculty, staff, and studentsfrom several disciplines across the university. The purpose of this cross-college, interdisciplinaryapproach is to promote engineering education at all levels. The mission of the ASEE Chapter atUniversity of Arizona are as follows: 1. To encourage collaboration between engineering undergraduate and graduate students through service, research, and professional development opportunities 2. To encourage and prepare engineering graduate students to pursue careers in academia 3. To increase awareness and understanding of societal, ethical, and public policy

sure thateverybody finds a thing, but rather about making it accessible and easy to use and remix andshare once it's found. Radical transparency is not a magic bullet -- it's not an "if you build it, theywill come" route to millions of readers. But it is a way to give the readers you get an opportunityand a choice to engage more deeply with a work on their own terms. What surprised me was how foreign (and consequently scary due to being an unknown)transparency was to so many people in academia. The mode of sharing that I'd taken for grantedin the open source context was much more constrained by data privacy concerns in the scholarlyrealm. There are good reasons for this; ethics are vital, and sometimes preserving privacy is theright

This was done in two rounds to ensure proper alignment ofthe interview questions with the analytic framework described above.1 Active debate regarding the difficulty and ethics of conducting interviews across powerdifferentials, including race, gender and class, continues in scholarly discussions of interviewmethodologies [16-19]. O’Brien [17] argues that race-matching alone is insufficient inaccounting for the multiple layers of difference and power differentials that exist betweenresearcher and interviewee. Instead, she contends that the most important objective for theresearcher is instead to “activate” race by addressing it specifically, indicating to intervieweesthat it is acceptable to discuss race openly (p. 79).

] inspired by my mentor so I want to be a research professor and doresearch in academic. In academia, I think the main goal is how to develop a new method toimprove our life and make the environment better, and it is quite different than the industry. Sothe graduate school is necessary for my dream, and I will look for a post-doc position aftergraduate school. I think this program [will] really help me to develop my academic resume andacademic/personal statement, and provide abundant information about what we should knowbefore applying for graduate school, like NSF graduate fellowship, [responsible conduct ofresearch], research ethic, etc. I had never known some of the information after the seminars, andthey are very useful!”This post prompted a
