For decades quantitative studies involving an experimental approachwith the researcher having control over variables that may or may not influence the subjects wasthe common approach. That trend, however, has not continued for many studies now employmixed methods and in fact some contend that “multi-method research is now discussed, planned,and conducted as a routine matter, part and parcel of normal social science.” 6Despite efforts to produce rigorous educational research, education and other social sciences tendnot to have the same scientific status given to natural sciences

Suchplans are constructed so as to not require additional summer study or application of AdvancedPlacement or International Baccalaureate credits.The process of creating these sample curricula is labor-intensive. Starting with the curricularrequirements at our institution for a specific major, noting prerequisite streams and limitations onwhen specific courses are offered, we then investigate the course offerings in that discipline aswell as in mathematics in one of the study abroad programs.

Take sometime to think about your professional and personal goals; they will serve as a guide throughoutyour time in graduate school. Tracy 1 provides seven steps that are helpful for setting andachieving goals: 1. “Decide exactly what you want” 2. “Write it down” 3. “Set a deadline on your goal; set subdeadlines if necessary” 4. “Make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal” 5. “Organize the list into a plan” 6. “Take action on your plan immediately” 7. “Resolve to do something every single day that moves you toward your major goal”As an

advantages of pursuing an independent study with the interested students were: • More faculty involved with different expertise (especially valuable at an institution with fewer faculty and less specialization) • The fall semester after the Materials Science course permitted planning to begin the project in the spring and give the project more time with a two-semester option • Less time required for course design • Increase our department’s research experiencesThere were four students who expressed the strongest desire to learn more about materials afterthe junior course.

In this context, themicrodose approach can be attractive because it allows engineering faculty to introduce someethical material to students as a part of another lesson. Though integrating microdoses of ethics isoften the result of substantial planning, it may not require investing too much class time in theprocess.Sustained microdoses of ethics may be administered by “infusions,” in which material related toethics is connected directly and thoroughly to the technical content of engineering courses.
