As instructors, these faculty membersare very familiar with the language that ought to be discipline-specific for the courses that theyteach. This aspect of the research has passed the ethics review at the institution where this studywas conducted.The methodology of this phase of the research involves training, calibration, quantitative datacollection, and debriefing of each participant. A condensed methodology is described below:1. Participants were recruited using a standardized email request. In some cases, participants were asked in-person as a follow-up to the email, to ensure that the email was read.2. A Doodle.com account was

The exercises necessarily vary across courses, but they share commonelements: hands-on involvement of the student (e.g., through a laboratory or in-class exercise),analysis of real-world data or simulation (e.g., electroencephalograms during a brain-computerinterface), and reflection on ethical or practical issues raised by the data (e.g., whether the dataindicate an acceptable level of performance, given cost constraints).

There is considerable variation and uncertainty about policy with respect to intellectualproperty generated as part of an off-campus training experience. This is consistent with theauthors’ experience. In addition, we note that our trainees to date have demonstrated a high rateof interest in intellectual property and other issues related to entrepreneurship. Hence, we havetried to address this challenge by creating opportunities for students to learn about practical,legal, and ethical issues of intellectual property management.
