the literature about thechallenges of advancing innovations from the interest or awareness phase into actualimplementation. When developing professional development programs, people should considerthis challenge. Further, they should include dedicated and structured time for programparticipants to discuss about the particular innovation that the program is focused on, in order tohelp facilitate change of practices.AcknowledgmentThe authors gratefully acknowledge support of this work by the National Science Foundationunder Grant No. 1524527.References 1.

survey were brought to the attention ofthe faculty including the survey’s skip function when particular questions were answerednegatively and items requiring free response. The format of the interview followed that ofcognitive interviewing in which faculty were encouraged to explain their understanding of eachitem. Cognitive interviewing is an important step in survey development as this type ofinterviewing helps researchers to evaluate participants’ interpretation of the quality of surveyitems and their ability to measure the intended construct(s). In keeping with the sensemakingframework, this phase of interviewing was aimed at validating the items on the survey from theperspective of faculty who would be future implementers of the instrument

Antecedents of trust arethose variables or aspects of teamwork and success that directly affect trust within a team.Study SelectionAs shown in Figure 1, the initial search generated 140 studies.

pollution as a member of the engineering faculty at another institution.Kristina R. and Nick S.: Dog Safety HarnessThis team developed a harness that allows dogs to be clipped into seat belt restraintswhile they are riding in automobiles. Traditional designs of “seat belts” for dogs aim toprotect the lives of drivers and passengers by restraining the dog. In a serious accident,those restraints can do serious harm to the dog. The design created by Kristina and Nickprotects the dog’s vulnerable shoulder bones. Kristina had the idea when a friend’s dogdied in an accident and she could not find a good seat belt for her own dog.
