Our goal is tointroduce students to one important and difficult skill necessary for entrepreneurialthinking: the ability to apply creative thinking to ambiguous problems, particularly whenthe variables include human beings.Background“Humanitarian Engineering Past & Present: Worcester, 1885,” is a first-year, generaleducation course. The course includes engineering content within a humanistic frame thatmakes it ideal for general education. The course puts students in the roles of actual peopleliving in a turn-of-the-century industrial city in central Massachusetts. Students learn andpractice engineering concepts (engineering design

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this

Since all students in this program are required to TA,those who TA in early years may have less research responsibility and more time to devote toassociated TA duties without sacrificing any other tasks. However, as doctoral students gainresearch responsibility and feel pressure to make progress on dissertation work, having a TAcould increase their workload unaligned with their projects and inhibit progress, delayinggraduation.In contrast, having an RA assignment or fellowship may allow doctoral students to fully focus onresearch, as shown when RA and fellowship are positive predictors of persistence andcompletion.
