New faculty were also given copies of the OU Researchmagazine, which is another source of information about research projects currently underway atOU.As new faculty work on writing research proposals, one of the ways that they can hone theirproposal writing skills and build a funding record early on is to apply for internal fundingopportunities. Such opportunities clearly vary from institution to institution, but at OU, one

. Courses are often integrated into these two major fields to allow for some exposure to themanufacturing industry. A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course. McMasters and Lang believe that too few in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is set-up. Therefore, if industry partnersare brought into the education process through design projects

To confirmopportunities for all six reflective decision-making elements during classroom project work, weconducted content analysis of the EiE curriculum units. As discussed above, in Lesson 4 of allunits, we found learning tasks that could reasonably be expected to call upon these six elements.Partnering with four elementary teachers, we video recorded seven EiE units at four differentgrade levels (water filters in 2nd grade, bridges in 3rd grade, circuits in 4th grade, and maglevvehicles, windmills, pollinators, and knee braces in 5th grade).

This suggests that themost stable impact of the studio-based learning environment is the impact it has on students’views of Task Value. Unfortunately, the stable impact of the new instructional technique yieldeda decrease in students’ perceptions of the class’ Task Value. However, even Task Value scoreswere found to vary as a function of Major, Race, and Gender. This suggests that these TaskValue scores, as well as those from other scales, must be evaluated in light of the demographiccharacteristics of the students who provide those scores.Qualitative DataAs part of the overall research for this project, all participants were asked to complete a series of50 qualitative

Provide an educational innovator with a measure for testing the effectiveness of the innovation, without having to invent and validate a new one. 2. Provide a potential adopter the same measure to test the effectiveness in their institutional context. 3. Add credibility to the entire project by facilitating the validation and transferability of the innovation by providing a resource for all adopters to use. 4.

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al. [8] putit, “[although] argument is a central feature of the resolution of scientific controversies, scienceteaching has paid . . . little attention to [this] practice . . . It is our contention that
