The students were also asked to identify the best thing about thelaboratory, how to improve it, and reasons for which they would recommend/not-recommendthis module to a friend. Of the 32 students, 94% stated they had developed a moderate to greatgain in collection of test data and analysis plus modeling of system behavior. In addition, 88%of the participants indicated a moderate to great gain in their confidence of materialunderstanding.

U.S. GDP is attributable to advancements in science and technology. This despite the fact that less than 5 percent of the U.S. workforce is composed of scientists and engineers, thereby suggesting that each one percent of the workforce engaged in those professions accounts for something like 15 percent of the growth in GDP. A truly remarkable multiplier.” - Norm Augustine (Augustine, 2013)In Spring 2015 a workshop was held at the National Academy of Engineering designed to buildcapacity for the engineering education research community to better communicate with a broadspectrum of policy makers. The underlying hypothesis is that despite the impact how engineersare educated has on national priorities, researchers in

For instance, Curiosity is demonstrated by “explore acontrarian view of accepted solutions” and Creating Value is demonstrated by “identifyunexpected opportunities to create extraordinary value”.

Their engagement with the professional skill-related outcomes is an example of the expansion of horizons and concerns that EC2000 sought to promote. Nonetheless, it limited the depth with which they could articulate their evaluation criteria.
