Replication refers to the ability to repeat aninvestigation in more than one setting and achieve the same results. This is common practice inSTEM disciplinary research in order to confirm findings. When similar results can not begenerated, then the entire research project is in doubt. Consider, for example, the cold fusionresults announced by one laboratory, but in the end, discredited because they could not bereplicated in

used in all DEDP classes at UND.BackgroundIn 1989, the School of Engineering and Mines at the University of North Dakota began delivering adistance education program through the Division of Continuing Education. Courses leading toBachelor of Science engineering degrees were offered to employees of 3M. The program was laterextended to employees of other member companies to form the Corporate Engineering DegreeProgram (CEDP). In 2001, this program was modified to serve other individual students, and itbecame the Distance Engineering Degree Program (DEDP) delivering chemical, electrical andmechanical engineering courses. To date the program has graduated 16 students, who completedlecture courses via videotape, and laboratories through on-campus

these courses include electricalcircuits, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, material balances, properties of materials, structuralmechanics and thermodynamics. Unlike the traditional approach, however, each of thefoundation courses includes a mix of these topics, presented in a variety of disciplinary contexts.A solid background is developed by touching key concepts at several points along the spiral indifferent courses, adding depth and sophistication at each pass. Each foundation course alsostresses the development of several essential skills, such as problem-solving, oral and writtencommunication, the design process, teamwork, project management, computer analysis methods,laboratory investigation, data analysis and model development.

Next to that is the initial inability toimagine that not all students are geniuses in math and science, since most of the graduate fellowsacquired a strong technical background from early on.In the beginning of each school year every fellow is assigned to a specific class. After a field tripin which the classes are invited to our university to tour through all laboratories regarding HEV,fellows give science lectures throughout the entire school year.

This interaction usuallytakes the form of questions and comments that seek clarifications, elaborations, and additionalexamples. The instructor attempts to answer as many of those requests as possible, but is alsoexpected to cover a number of pre-determined subjects in each lecture. Lectures are accompaniedby laboratory-based activities (labs). In each lab the students, individually or in groups, arerequired to carry out certain experiments with real components and instruments, as well asdesign, build and test, their own simple or complex circuits.

It further demonstrates the power of "speaking two languages" and the inventivenessthat can emanate from a deep understanding of two fields. This inventiveness manifests itself inNabokov’s literary and scientific design, Leonardo’s pioneering work in comparative anatomy,Bach’s invention of new instruments with desired acoustical properties, and Borodin’s ability tojuggle his work in music composition and the laboratory, while publishing in both fields andchampioning women’s educational rights.
