The number of authors has changed dramatically, butso also have the practices that have led to these increases, which are discussed in the followingsection.5. Ethical Issues for Co-Authorship StatusAre the Ethical Issues in Co-Authorship a Form of Research Fraud?The ethical issues in academic research generally focus on fraud in data gathering, analysis,reporting, funding, and in writing (where issues of plagiarism arise). Indeed, the disciplinary andlegal actions and guidelines for researchers also focus on these areas [27, 31]. The forms ofmisconduct in research are broken down into three tiers, detailed below, with the seriousness ofthe breach reflected in the categorization of the conduct

listened to the designer and was first to marketwith the now popular minivan. Interestingly enough, Ford made a similar mistake later, optingnot to pursue a driver’s-side sliding door on their minivans until well after the competitionintroduced that hugely popular feature. There are also examples of “technology-push” products which reflect that, even in thosecases, satisfying existing needs is a key factor for success. For example, when Percy Spencer, aRaytheon engineer working on radar systems, noticed that a candy bar melted during a radarsystem test, that ultimately led to the development of the microwave oven, which in today’ssociety has essentially become a requirement of every kitchen.

They have a solidbackground in design, data analysis, report writing, teamwork, the appropriate use of softwarepackages (EXCEL, MathCAD) and problem solving. They also have been exposed tofundamental engineering principles in the settings of statics, circuits and thermodynamics.Salient features of the integrated curriculum are the reliance on active/cooperative learning andthe emphasis of connections across disciplinary boundaries. A formal reflection of the emphasison cross-disciplinary work is the fact that the co-requisite engineering and mathematics classesare considered a “block”. Students that are in the same section of the mathematics class are alsoin the same section of the co-requisite engineering

goals of the IPEC program is for the students to have a stronger comprehension ofmath, physics, and basic engineering concepts. Inasmuch as the program is designed for mutualreinforcement of the concepts being taught in these different domains, the goal was to increasestudent understanding within the various domains which might be reflected in grades. Significantvariation between the groups (F = 8.7947, p = .0002) was found when examining the cumulativeGPAs as of the end of the freshman year. The mean cumulative GPAs were 2.76, 3.07, and 2.20for the comparison group, the persisting IPEC students, and the switching IPEC studentsrespectively. These results suggest several things. One is that the students who left IPEC earlycontinued to experience

Our findings suggest that including an individual portion in lab group assignmentspositively impacts students. The average scores for the individual contribution portion of the labreports were 92%. The approach was shown to increase accountability among individual membersof the lab groups, as students who self-identified as “waiting to the last minute” were shown tosubmit individual portions on time (75%). Furthermore, the early submission requirementencouraged effective time management across all students, exemplified by the on-time submissionrate of 94% on individual portions, thereby diminishing the

. Lessons Learned In preparing the tutorial, I reflected on the way I taught engineering economic analysis and acknowledged some significant changes needed to be made. Specifically, I realized the FE exam has been an excuse for not changing the content in EngEcon and how I taught it. I also concluded the content of my co-authored textbooks has been limited, based on my belief few who teach undergraduate students are willing to deviate significantly from how the course was taught when they took it as undergraduate students. As a result of my reflections, my future teaching (and book revisions) will address explicitly the four take-away messages cited in the summary and conclusions section of the tutorial: 1. All real-options analyses incorporate

Retention has been significantly improved wherelearning communities have been formed. Higher academic achievement has also beenreported as a result of forming academic learning communities. In addition to thetraditional measure of GPA, student academic gains have been found in such areas asstudents’ ability to relate new ideas to prior knowledge, to

Immediately after theinterviews, researchers created memos as a space for reflection and initial data analysis. Theresearch team completed two rounds of coding and refining the interview data [6]. During thefirst round of analysis, the first and second author individually coded each interview. The secondround of analysis consisted of the first and second author comparing and consolidating theircodes, which led to the creation of nine themes (Table 1).

Often this mindset can be possessed by perceiving the research has novelty andinnovativeness. These are well reflected in the following statement by Shiva in the context ofproblem definition: “Therefore, I think that one of the first beliefs is that your research does matter. Maybe you might not have immediate success or immediate number of citations from that research or immediate results from that paper itself, but if you have a strong conviction that there is a research contribution here, that there is science in what you have done rather than just engineering, at that point, that kind of

The device will be testedusing a speaker projecting sound waves in the frequency range of 600-2500Hz, which is a typicalrange for road traffic noise [12]. A small hole was left at the 240mm point of the resonator tubeto allow for the mounting of a piezoelectric cantilever beam for testing.Next, the piezoelectric beam was prepared and inserted into the device. This process began byfinding a small, very thin piece of metal to support the beam to ensure it did not break duringtesting due to the fragile nature of

months into the first year of our work, we engaged in immediate one-on-one interviews tounderstand the group perspective of the situation.Arguably, the most important lesson we learned was that the RPP team members truly felt as iftheir voice was heard, reflected in our memos, and kept confidential. As we wrote the memos, wewere careful not to share who was quoted and the videos of the interviews were not sharedwidely. Developing this sense of anonymity created an environment where barriers weredismantled and the historical imbalances of power could be directly addressed.Zarch, McGill ASEE 20236 RecommendationsReflecting on our lessons learned and the literature about
