Also, ERCs must fulfill NSF’s goal toincrease the diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce by including allmembers of society regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender in all aspects of thecenter’s activities. In an effort to fulfill this mission, ERCs produce an enormousamount of data and information. This means the amount of information to beconsidered by this research has the potential to be

Nevertheless, there iscomplacency and a lack of enthusiasm for major curriculum and pedagogical reform. Amongthe factors discouraging reform are the traditions of each discipline regarding legacymaterials, a lack of knowledge of emerging areas, and externally or internally imposed creditlimitations.The Division of Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines

First, could this method beemployed successfully in research involving instructional technology, in which the users’task is fairly complex, involving reading, listening to voice-overs, processing graphicalinformation, and using interactive elements? A related question was ecological validity:Does producing a verbal protocol change how the student uses the CD? If the methodwas useable and valid, we could apply it to the questions above. Other questions wewanted to answer were how the students thought using the CD compared to using a Page 10.1169.2 Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference &

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)programs have embraced concepts, such as “innovation”, “entrepreneurship”, “socialentrepreneurship”, and “humanitarian engineering.” Creative problem solving is about beinginsightful and recognizing connections among concepts; some of which may appear unrelated.Unlike analytical thinking, creative problem solving relies on flexible and dynamic mentalprocesses using the whole brain1. Therefore, creative problem solving demands divergence fromthe usual patterns of thinking, and it is accomplished most effectively within a team. The STEMdisciplines seek to solve the World’s problems with a well-rounded education and motivation byaddressing challenges through the brainstorming of solutions
