Bootstrapping a New Graduate Curriculum through an Engineering Research CenterAbstract NSF Generation-3 Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) are charged both withadvancing the state-of-the-art in terms of engineering and scientific research as well as training awell-qualified workforce in the domain of expertise. Such an ERC was awarded in 2008 to NorthCarolina A&T State University (NCAT), with the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and theUniversity of Cincinnati (UC) as the core US research partner institutions. The focus of thisERC, the ERC for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials (RMB) is the development of advancedmaterials and processes targeted at the biomedical implant and device industry.

How a student starts a problem may have significant effect on theirability to fully carry out the solution. A student may solve the wrong problem, spend all theirtime pursuing the wrong approach, or forget their goal if they do not

But with theincreasing prevalence of engaging K-12 programming, we expect similar new attention directedat engagement in the university setting.

In this paper, we review theliterature on working memory, spatial abilities, spatial anxiety, and the relationships betweenthem while focusing on the context of engineering problem-solving. Spatial ability is part of ahidden curriculum: it is relevant in engineering education but not explicitly and consistentlyacknowledged or explained by instructors. In the novice state, learners frequently call uponspatial thinking for problem-solving. With experience gained, learners become more familiarwith discipline problem types and rely less on their spatial

While it is commonly related to education andengineering perspectives, recent studies have required collaboration between the fields ofcomputer science, business, management, and information science among others [5]. Theinterdisciplinary nature of this new field offers a challenge to doctoral students seeking toachieve a degree in the field. One of these challenges becomes apparent when forming doctoralcommittees that include members capable of directing and supporting students to the successfulcompletion of

This synergistic approach toproblem-solving aligns with the ideas presented in lean culture.These findings illustrate that when teaching lean manufacturing, it is imperative to emphasize notonly the process, tools, and techniques, but also the psychology of management ideas addressingthe continuous pursuit of perfection and team-centered ideology. To truly implement lean in aneducational engineering project, the process must begin with proper management andorganizational structure both within teams and
