For example, if a researcher considered the minimizes natural resourcedepletion criterion to correspond with STAUNCH©’s biodiversity criterion, then he or sherecorded a “1” in the appropriate matrix cell in her/his individual scoring matrix. After individualcompletion of matrices, the three researchers met over several sessions to compare and contrastscores. Subsequently, each researcher re-evaluated his or her matrices to make amendmentsbased on group conversations.Finally, individual matrices were compiled and totaled to produce a collaborative matrix for eachframework.

Another interesting thing is the fact that for different centralities the network can be represented by a vector, matrix or tensor this is mostly because a particular characteristic of the network can be a function of the node, the links or the relationship between the node and the links.

evidence-based practices into theircourse(s), participate in workshops, conduct research on their own practices and share the results.To maximize the impact of changes in teaching practices, the project targets the introductorycore courses of the engineering curriculum (Table 1), currently followed by approximately 70%of undergraduates at the university, about 650 students per year. Students in basic sciences andcomputer science programs, another 15% of the population, take a subset of the courses, so theprogram will impact ~85% of undergraduates at Stevens, of whom 28% are women and 12%underrepresented minorities.

participated in the RET program at LUCollege of Engineering. This six-week program, open to all high school teachers in the STEMdisciplines in Texas, sought to advance educators’ knowledge of concepts in design andmanufacturing as a means of enriching high school curriculums and meeting foundationalstandards set by 2013’s Texas House Bill 5. These standards require enhanced STEM contents inhigh school curricula as a prerequisite for graduation, detailed in the Texas Essential Knowledgeand Skills standard. In the mornings, teachers attended daily workshops to enhance theirknowledge of topics in advanced design and manufacturing before embarking on applicableresearch projects in the afternoons.
