During this module students are engaged around a critical topic in tissue characterization.

This work is described in [13] and indicatesthat while, as discussed, several definitions of Adaptive Expertise exist in the literature, few validatedtools for the measurement of AE have been developed. A paucity of data concerning levels of AEdisplayed by various populations was also observed. Fortunately, a survey instrument [14], originallydeveloped in 2001, was found to still be in use as a tool for measuring AE, and various studies hadindicated its reliability [9], [15].

Future work will includequalitative data collection to explore details not revealed by quantitative methods. One limitationof using survey and quantitative methods in this context is the potential for self-report bias(Critchfield, 1994), which can lead to inaccurate data if participants do not accurately report theirexperiences. Another limitation is the Weidman Socialization of Doctoral Students survey, whichwas developed in 1989 and may not accurately reflect the current experiences of engineeringPh.D. students.
