ADVANCE collaborated with the URIResearch Office in sponsoring a series of Grant Development Workshops geared toward juniorfaculty; these included sessions on Securing Funding, Collaborative Proposals, and GrantFunding. A Post-Award Grant Management Workshop is planned in the near future to provideconcrete advice for navigating the university bureaucracy once a grant is received.Monthly Writing Workshops, facilitated by a member of the ADVANCE leadership team, arealso being held.

. Vygotsky's ideas influenced a social constructivist approach to education.Sociocultural theory is the use of cultural tools (both material and psychological) in thedevelopment of understanding. Instruction could be sufficient when students connect with theactivities within a supportive learning environment and get appropriate guidance that is mediatedby tools. An important aspect of tools is that they do more than simply assist in the developmentof mental processes. Teachers teach children how to use tools, and children adapt these tools tomaster their own behavior, gain independence, and reach a higher developmental level. Theconstruction of knowledge and practice occurs as the teacher interacts with the students and theenvironment while planning

For example, in Guatemala students were installingbiosand filters in people’s homes and needed to explain to the family how to use it and why itwould be beneficial to them. Students had to gauge which aspects of this technology the familiesunderstood, and how to explain the parts they did not. This task was complex because they wereworking across language barriers, cultural barriers, and technical levels. They recruited twosocial workers to assist in this process but were still struggling with how best to approach thissituation. This is discussed in quote 13 and 14. The

New engineers’ early work experiencesare critical in that, during this time, they form enduring perceptions about their work, theircompany, and their profession which strongly influence their decisions to stay or quit.14 Theauthors propose then that these experiences moderate new engineers’ job satisfaction, which is aprecursor to many other occupational outcomes including commitment to a career inengineering.

There are few (if any) virtualexercises that can replace a fabricated prototype to reveal implications of design decisions whilealso increasing student investment when compared to a paper design. Physical prototyping exposesovercomplexity, conceptual blindspots, and deficient planning. From a more positive perspective,students learn to communicate and think through prototyping to prove out concepts, principles, andform. Students learn the imperative of design details and the difference between a viable virtualprototype and model that simply cannot be built. Much of
