Appropriate Technology1. Abstract In this paper we describe the initiative to sponsor graduate level research and education inthe field known as “Appropriate Technology” at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez(UPRM). These efforts are sponsored by the project “Graduate Research and Education forAppropriate Technology: Inspiring Direct Engagement and Agency (GREAT IDEA)”, which isfunded by NSF. We first provide a brief background on the concept of Appropriate Technology,including our interpretation. We then describe specific thesis research projects and courseworkthat are sponsored by our project. Finally, we outline new ramifications of AppropriateTechnology in Research Ethics, and describe how we address these in courses that we

A framework is introduced that includes the creation of a museum exhibition; and oncethe initial investment is made to create the central exhibition, the results are efficiently used toextend outreach efforts through first-generation products (coincident with the exhibition) andthen through second-generation products (after the exhibition). The paper describes a detailedexample of this framework and provides evidence to support the concept that displaying researchartifacts in an art museum can expand research opportunities. Products from the exhibition thatprovided expanded outreach opportunities include the following: an exhibit catalog originallycreated

By and large they agree service-learning can be an effectiveteaching approach for certain courses.Conclusion:The research findings indicate that some faculty were initially motivated by financial incentivesin the form of $500 mini-grants, and when the incentive on longer existed they were not inclinedto continue due to the additional work involved. In addition, other discontinued the use ofservice-learning simply because they no longer teach the course. Finally, others discontinuedservice-learning due to the nature of the course offering. However, a common theme thatemerged among the faculty was that they all believed in service-learning’s intended educationaloutcome.In conclusion the results of

Most of the stakeholders found all items to beimportant and a cutoff of 0.60 ensured that items from all clusters were included. If there wereitems that had a correlation less than 0.60, but were regarded by stakeholders to be important,those items were retained. Qualitatively, items were added and deleted based on this criterion.As a result, the initial item pool was reduced from 94 to 48 items.
