Page 22.1715.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Writing Effective Evaluation and Dissemination Plans for Innovations in Engineering EducationIntroductionThe importance of assessment in engineering education has been on a steep rise for more than adecade because of accreditation requirements for data-driven decisions on improvements incourses and curricula. This increased emphasis on classroom assessment has not, however,resulted in a noticeable improvement in the quality of the evaluation plans in proposals to theNational Science Foundation (NSF) for course and curriculum development or for engineeringeducation research.

This workshop will include 3 phases: learn, build, and review. Learn (30 min): Working in groups of 2-3, participants will be given time to build two separate structures from 8.5 x 11 paper and scotch tape, according to clear instructions. After building each type of structure, participants will weight-test each structure and record the maximum load prior to mechanical failure. Participants will then regroup and participate in a class discussion outlining underlying statics principles that explain why one design performs

programming skills defined inthis paper, the students will be able to develop computer programs to solve most engineeringproblems, such as those in statics, dynamics, thermal dynamics, in their future learning.Programming is an intensive, hands-on design process. The amount of programming skills of astudent is largely dependent on how much programming experience she or he has had. Theengineering students should get some basic programming experiences as early as possible.Therefore, the authors are communicating with the Klamath Union High School to seek anopportunity to offer a VBA computer programming course as a high school senior elective.

The goal of the searchmodel is to improve the odds of aspiring entrepreneurs to discover and exploit valuable ventureideas by systematically searching in areas where they already have prior, specific knowledge.The assessment of the model will be accomplished in part by a novel, theoretically-basedapproach for evaluating the wealth creating potential of business plans resulting from theprogram.

For state universities, the loss of sovereign immunityafforded to State entities is often a major concern. This concern is further exacerbated for bio-technology and other high technology incubators. However, universities are generally willing toshare their best practices for mitigating these and other risks.Step 3: Establish a University Research Foundation.
