. Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing to pass it on, and/or share it with their group members. Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and
the results are those of the group (and for the group). Keeping track of the contribution and knowledge gained by each member could be monitored, as well, by either testing each and every student in the group, or by randomly selecting a group member (or members) to be tested and thus proxy for the group.

In this capacity, Maggie leads the SOCHEIntern Program, which employs nearly 300 students annually in co- operation with local government and small businesses, as well as the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The program provides high impact experiential learning opportunities for students while generating economic bene- fit and enhancing
thatdiffered in a variety of characteristics, including time in their graduate program, focus withinmaterials science engineering, and level of experience with independent laboratory research.Senior graduate students were responsible for facilitating an interdisciplinary research projectand delegating research work tasks to teams of other students. We present findings from a mixedmethods study which evaluates individual and team successes in collaborative multi-institutionaland interdisciplinary research. Implications of this work include helping programs developcompetencies for their graduate students that include “team science” and collaborative skills.I.

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to
time for laboratory and field research which couldlead to scholarly products in the STEM fields. Prior to AY 2003, the scholarly requirement offaculty was significantly lower than it is at the present time. In addition, the ranks of associateand full professors have minimal female representation; at Gannon, tenure does not presumeadvancement in rank. Just as there has been increasing number of advanced degrees awarded tofemales across STEM disciplines, many of the recent hires affected by the increased emphasis onscholarship at Gannon University were female. Some STEM departments had no senior, femalefaculty to serve as mentors (see Table 7) and most full professors had received promotion whenthe university culture placed the majority of its

The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

Comp Chair in the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Prior to this position, he was the Associate Chair of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech – Savannah. He was also the Founding Director of the Systems Realization Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and
