ResourceResiliency NSF Research Traineeship (The NRT) curriculum builds interdiciplinary and systemsthinking abilities to help students address complex FEW systems problems. The report by theNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on Graduate STEM Education forthe 21st century noted that current and future global challenges, such as creating more resilientcommunities, present scientific, technological, and societal challenges that require systemsthinking abilities to solve these challenges [10]. In addition, employers from different sectorsattested to the value of systems thinking abilities in the workforce and for future globalcompetitiveness [10].Since 2013, the United States National Science Foundation through its Research

used toassess and improve educational practice within this, and likely similar, contexts [11], [12]. Theiterative process of DBR makes this research method similar to the classical engineering cycle inthat it begins with a challenge or question within an educational context, researchers develop ahypothesis, then design and test an intervention or product [13], [14]. That intervention is thenevaluated within the educational experience and further refined through subsequent iterations(Figure 2).Implementation will occur in undergraduate fluids engineering courses at Utah State Universityand the University of Colorado, Boulder and in STEM outreach events for diverse high schoolstudent at the Undersea Technology Apprentice Program (UTAP) hosted by

IntroductionInstructional methods have evolved over the ages from traditional writing on blackboard to theuse of cellulose transparencies and overhead projectors to notebook computers and dataprojectors. The latest trend in instructional technology is the use of Tablet PCs and iPods in theclassroom. In recent years, Tablet PCs are making its headway into classroom instruction atevery level, from K-12 to colleges, as well as in business meetings of corporate America. Infact, Georgia Tech has recently announced that all engineering students must use a Tablet PC
