“engineering students have so much to learn before they can actuallystart practicing in the field, safely, that a formal rigorous engineering education at the Bachelorslevel is inescapable.”9 However, because competency in soft skills is also critical to theprofession, it is essential to look beyond textbook learning. A National Science Foundation studyrecommends engineering faculty engage students in “collaborative problem-solving, analysis,synthesis, critical thinking, reasoning, and reflections to real-world situations,” and that “newlearning approaches must be put to use that heighten practical learning and allow students todemonstrate the application of their studies to real-world situations.”10 Interestingly, theproposed revision to Criterion 3

Thepaper provides highlights of an application of the translational research model at ClemsonUniversity in which students in multidisciplinary teams research novel and adapted solutions tosocietal problems, work through multiple funding sources, and collaborate with communitystakeholders to implement infrastructure solutions. The facets of translational research will bedefined, as well as differentiated from problem-based learning and service-learning.
