Nature InspiredChemical Engineering was conceptually initiated and submitted for approval at UniversityCollege London. One of the main reasons to offer a course on this unique topic was to developstrong synergies with a recently founded interdisciplinary research center. During the previousyear, University College London was awarded an EPSRC (United Kingdom’s Engineering andPhysical Sciences Research Council) “Frontier Engineering” Grant to form a multi-disciplinaryCentre for Nature Inspired Engineering. This grant was spearheaded by Professor Marc-OlivierCoppens, who recently left the United States to become Head of the Department of ChemicalEngineering at University College London.

At least initially, either co-advisorswith appropriate training in educational research or an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program inengineering education will be required to provide quality control.Schools instituting engineering education as a research specialty will need to include engineeringeducation research grants and papers in their promotion and tenure decisions, and thesecontributions must not be undervalued compared to technical research. Hopefully, these schoolswill also reward the other scholarships outlined by Boyer10 – the scholarships of application,integration and scholarly

Responses of individual students can betracked throughout the year and connected back to student grades while keeping the responsedata de-identified from the researchers, who are also instructors.Secondly, the questions asked on the initial surveys focus on the achievement of narrow aspectsof the camp's goals, rather than validated constructs in learning or motivation theory, so it isdifficult to identify the mechanisms at work to explain the positive effects of the camp.Additionally, any interpretation of the results is further complicated by the potential selectionbias associated with camp attendance.

Over the last decade, our first year approach to research education hasbroadened. Peter Kilpatrick added a one unit fall course, Introduction to Research, aprofessional development course including research ethics, presentations, andpublications. While these two courses were satisfying as stand-alone efforts, recentfaculty and graduate student sentiment pushed for an earlier engagement of student withresearch advisor, PhD committee, and research itself
