model approach to 1) assess the potential of educationalinnovations for sustainable scalability and 2) for those innovations assessed to be promising, to developa transition plan to move them forward to widespread adoption. Thus, the expected outcomes of thisexploratory project are two-fold: (1) enable the project team to effectively assess the potential of theirinnovation for sustainable scalability, and (2) identify a path by which promising innovations can garnerbroad acceptance, i.e., implementation or adoption.Both I-Corps™ and I-Corps™ L are based on Steve Blank’s Lean Start-Up approach (28, 29). Duringthe course, participants engage in extensive customer discovery, conducting at least 100 interviews withpotential adopters, collaborators

Developing NSNTcourses is essential to meeting the needs of industry in the region – and beyond – to provide muchneeded education and training for engineers.This paper describes an NSF-funded project to establish a nanoscience and nanotechnology(NSNT) program at UND. The project aims to foster new interest in nanoscience andnanotechnology among UND STEM students from a multidisciplinary perspective. Faculty fromElectrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physicsare actively involved in preparing and delivering the NSNT course content. This

While this may not bepractical in the context of this particular course, it may be feasible in the courses of otherinstructors who adopt the module. This desire to continue working on the project beyond theoriginally planned scope also indicates that many students were engaged in EML. Otherconstructive comments from students that can be used to improve the module include addingmore design restrictions, targeting other symptoms or diseases, and the general need for

Lack of comfort with the open-endedness of a design project. Military leadership provides missions and objectives to subordinates. Subordinates develop their own mission plans and objectives and push to the next subordinate level. The process continues downward until it reaches the lowest level. With the exception of coordinating certain elements, the method of mission accomplishment is open-ended. This provides lower military units with the flexibility to adapt and accomplish the objectives in whatever manner they see fit. 3. Inherent reluctance of students to begin

As a comparison, we will also obtain surveys from students who will complete the DSP class in spring 2016. In this course, the MCU-based DSP hardware will be used.

These excellent evaluations along withvery positive student comments reveal that the students’ understanding, interest, and enthusiasmfor nanoelectronics and electronic conduction phenomena was greatly enhanced, making this“Bottom-Up” approach very effective in improving EE undergraduate students’ fundamentalknowledge of electronic conduction phenomena. Based on these initial assessment results, it isconcluded that incorporating Purdue University’s new “Bottom-Up” approach in our EEundergraduate curriculum is successful, and we plan to continue using it.

This is a Project-Based-Learning (PBL) course where students work on planning, designing, cost estimating,scheduling and preparing a comprehensive report and final presentation for a real-world industryproject. This course is normally taken after the CIE 401. It encompasses almost all of the ABETlearning outcomes (a-k or 1-6) and, hence, engineering professionalism and ethics is covered inthe course in order to better prepare the graduating civil and environmental engineering class
