transferability.Clearly, the nano-lab module(s) that we utilize in the Chemical Engineering Thermodynamicscourse may need anywhere from a minor adjustment to a total redesign in order to be applied. Itis not the specific lab modules that are the “selling point” here. Instead, it is the mechanism bywhich degree projects can be incorporated into an existing curriculum that is the key and novelconcept. Once the framework allowing for this incorporation has been established, it becomesrelatively easy for other STEM departments to apply the same methodology by selection (orcreation) of lab modules that mesh with the traditional courses of each individual major, andbetter match the scientific instruments available to a given department.

sustainability. This often draws others in the room in to the discussion asstudents’ peers volunteer their own articulations.From there, Lecture 1 presents some basic background and definitions of sustainability from avariety of sources that are related to civil engineering. This runs as follows: ≠ Presentation of the Bruntland Commission Report definition of sustainability2 ≠ Timeline of sustainability debate starting with the 1968 Club of Rome through to 2002’s Rio to Johannesburg conference ≠ Presentation of UK Government Principles of Sustainable Development (see Figure 1) ≠ Triple Bottom Line Methodology presented as: o Venn diagram o Russian Doll Model3 ≠ Presentation of the Royal Institution of
alsoneed assistantship funds or resources for tuition waivers. Often, new programs are left with theresponsibility of finding new donors or becoming self-sustainable29. Furthermore, some studiessuggest that cultural innovations are necessary30, 31, and that innovations that are institutionalizedthrough culture, policies, or practical reform have higher rates of success32. “Culturalinnovations” are changes to the way that a group thinks or acts. In this case, the changes mayneed to be made in order to realign the culture of the department(s) or program with newinterdisciplinary goals. The IGERT RFP clearly states that the original grant funding is to be a catalyst for 5change . Because sustainable change requires real effort, IGERTs

University of Washington, Gillmore [2] supports the viewthat adequate instructor reliability rating is achieved in certain circumstances but is Page 14.516.2limited to similar conditions of measurement. On the other hand, SET scores may not beas reliable as they are thought to be, as some studies show that instructors can increaseSET scores by inflating grades or grade expectations [3-7] (even if some corrections maybe applied in order to rectify the results [8]). The fact that the quality of instruction is notnecessarily correlated to SET scores was strongly opposed particularly in the 1970’s [9].Other general concerns related to how SET ratings are

The project wascompleted in teams of 3-5 but each student wrote an individual, final report on the project. Themodel of design as an alternating series of divergent and convergent steps was covered explicitlyin class, including circulating portions of Dym, et al.’s article. Students were required to identifyactions taken by the team, categorizing them as “divergent” or “convergent” thinking, andproviding a quantitative rationale for final decisions regarding the three parameters.
