Specifically he is interested in developing novel integration science strategies to combine material functionalities that result in significantly enhanced, or even new, properties. Prior to arriving at OSU he spent eight years at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) as a postdoc- toral researcher and member of the technical staff. There, his research on 2nd

Students would enroll in the learningcommunity after learning about these via email, word of mouth, or during summer orientationsessions. Although these learning communities involved different departments, it was truly alevel zero stage, as the intended use of the benefit was strictly for engineering students (refer toTable 1, Column B). Over time, some of the benefits of these learning communities had diffusedto other departments in science and mathematics, which led in 2007-2008 to increasing thenumbers and types

An independent evaluation of the work was carried out byProfessor Dr Heiko Steffens of the Technical University of Berlin [22] but other studies werealso completed that were published (see below). The design follows Whitehead’s three stagesbut assumes students will experience other complete cycles in each of the stages.The first stage of romance is characterised by short intensive course in manufacturingtechnology and materials and processes in a custom built laboratory.

Specifically, it can be quite difficult to secure funds toretool or improve laboratories that may became “dated” as faculty progress through their careers.Hence, mid-career faculty who remain productive within their fields are attractive recruits forother institutions. In terms of gender, as all engineering schools face the challenge ofdiversifying the faculty, “cherry picking” of such faculty poses special challenges forinstitutions.On the other hand, beyond this preliminary assessment, because of how the ADVANCE Program Page 10.1314.15is operating to improve the climate of the institution for all faculty, it is too soon to discern

In the fall of 2003, all 10 sections of the introductorycourse (~320 students) were taught at the same class time with all first-year students using thevarious wireless networks within the School.

Unlike other FC institutions, UMD piloted their program for only onesemester before they proposed adoption of the program to the college. They made this choice fora number of reasons. Early data were indicating greater retention and class attendance, andstudents were receiving better grades when compared to other sections of similar classes.Secondly, the school was receiving good publicity about the program and interest in the programwas coming in from potential students and their parents. Probably the biggest incentive for quickaction, however, was the impending loss of their dean, who was a big supporter of

Strategic research is often technology project-driven rather than curiosity-driven. Itspurpose is also to gain a better understanding of phenomena when new knowledge is needed to solve fundamentalscientific problems related to products, processes, systems, and operations. As Cauffman, chief scientist at theDepartment of Energy’s Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, stated: “… A lot of thefundamental work today is driven by a need … but it is still an effort to understand the fundamental way thingsinteract.” 52.5 Recognizing that Graduate Engineers in Industry

It might be expected, therefore, that the addition of subjects distant fromthe main disciplines would lead to an unfavourable reaction to their inclusion.However, investigations of liberal study programmes by Peers and Madgwick [28] andAndrews and Mares
