Although it is difficult to bow out at times,especially if we enjoy the activity, the reality is that we only have a limited amount of time,energy and resources. Saying “no” to an activity today does not necessarily mean that you willnever be able to do it again. Your priorities have changed, and your activities should reflect it.Do not let other people force their priorities upon you or allow yourself to get overloaded!Colleagues may need to be reminded of your increased responsibilities.

The paperbegins by briefly examining the current state of funding, focusing mainly on the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Education. The current politicalsituation, in terms of support within the Congress, is assessed, and congressional committees andorganizations of interest are identified. The final section recommends methods for promotingsupport for education research among members of Congress. This includes defining appropriatefunding and legislative objectives, as well as considerations to be made when encouragingmembers of Congress to support engineering

Students are required to complete a survey that categorizes them as either intro-verts or extroverts, sensors or intuitors, thinkers or feelers, and judgers or perceivers. The exactdefinitions of these terms are not critical here besides noting the following: extroverts like work-ing in settings that provide activity and group work; introverts prefer internal processing; sensorslike concrete learning experiences; intuitors prefer instruction that emphasizes conceptual under-standing; thinkers like logically organized presentations; feelers prefer a personal rapport withtheir instructors; judgers like well-structured instruction; and perceivers like

The key findings from qualitative analysis of the data are summarized asfollows: l Although there is no across-the-board formula for creating successful multidisciplinary experiences, it is helpful for the teaching team to repeatedly discuss the fundamental questions on the purpose, content, and assessment of the course and to keep the answers open. l Teachers getting into multidisciplinary cooperation on engineering education need to have the courage at all times to step out of their comfort zones, face unknown challenges, and deal with uncertainty in teaching.

(participation rates and demographic markers) are binary, so multiple linear regression (versus logisticregression) is appropriate (Krathwohl 2009).We assessed the explanatory variables using two methods – stepwise regression and a technique calledthe Pratt “product measure” (PPM). The PPM approach is a method for assigning a relative value toeach explanatory variable which is the product of the regression coefficient for that variable and thecorrelation of the explanatory variable with the response variable. This technique was theoreticallydefined by Pratt (1987) and later confirmed by Bring (1996). The value of the Pratt “product measure”approach is that the researcher can set a cut-off for relative importance based on interpretation of thetheoretical

In these challenges, teams are tasked to develop a university-oriented product conceptin a category like “school spirit”, to fabricate 20+ units of this product, and to advertise and sellthe product in the campus bookstore. It is typical to have more than 30 students on 5 or moreteams participate in these challenges. Because of the amount of work involved, these contestsare often broken into 2 phases. In the first phase, entries are judged based on their concept, theirability to validate customer interest in the product, their
