corporations in the 2010 BusinessWeek Top 25Most Innovative Companies list were based outside the United States31. This may be in partbecause US companies are investing less in basic research59. But US federal government fundingof R&D as a fraction of GDP has also dropped; from 1964 to 2004, it decreased by a startling 60percent42,60. Amid these trends, the US share of global R&D dropped from 38 to 31 percentbetween 1999 and 200942,59. Asian countries had a larger share than the US for the first time in200959.

EM, a training manual forresearch faculty in STEM disciplines [14]. This version of the seminar was replicated at anotherten research universities. A total of 22 sessions were conducted [15]. Between 2007 to 2011, theUWM faculty continued to work on adaptations of EM into nine discipline-specific mentor-training curricula. The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning at UWconducted field-test on all developed training materials before they were subsequently used totrain research mentors across the country [16]. A multidisciplinary team from the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) -funded institutions adapted EM to train mentors in clinical and translational research in 2010.The new curriculum was
prime breeding ground for threshold concepts.48Considering the course's characteristics, Scott and Harlow49,50 postulated the existence of severalthreshold concepts within the experience: Thevenin's Theorem, dynamic resistance/linearapproximation, phasors (including reactive power), feedback, and dependent sources. Consideringthe assertion that phasors and reactive power are proposed threshold concepts, it is perhapssurprising to see the lack of focus in work on alternating current (AC); rather, Carstensen &Bernhard19 contend that authors are focused primarily on direct current (DC). Compared to anexisting Electronics Concept Inventory,51 the authors concluded that their identification of thethreshold concepts aligned well except for

Althoughindividuals could select multiple races, the available categories of race and ethnicity have alwaysreflected “current politics, science and public attitudes”25.
