thedevelopment of social capital a reality, and thus bolster the pipeline toward a diverse populationof successful graduates for the workforce and academia.IntroductionInnovation is the key to the future success of the United States and engineers and scientists arelarge contributors to that success. In Friedman’s 2005 book The World is Flat, some of the keytenets are that perpetual innovation and adaptability are essential to the future success of the USeconomy and workforce10. Hargadon asserts that “innovation is driven by the convergence ofdiverse networks of people, objects, and ideas16. Similarly, research conducted by Crosby et al.indicates that a diverse workforce provides economic benefits because heterogeneous groupingsbring different
graders will know what is expected. The purpose ofthis is to allow the peers the opportunity to grade a paper written by a peer learner.Although there were no statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-survey, some of the item averages changed in a positive direction. In particular, students seemedbe more comfortable watching video recordings of themselves and have more confidencemodeling teaching. With a larger sample, we may be able to detect significant differences andbetter understand changes in the perceptions of the graduate student instructors over the courseof the semester. A future study may try to combine data from multiple semesters in order tohave more power in conducting the statistical analyses.The

, recycling, or disposal.A study in the automotive industry revealed that workpiece-related manufacturing costsassociated with metalworking fluids (MWFs) 7–17% were several times higher than toolcosts (2–4%). These costs would be eliminated if machining processes could beconducted without MWF. Environmental impact and health risks directly associated withMWFs would also be eliminated. These opportunities have encouraged research intomachining without MWF (dry machining) and into minimizing MWF usage. Both Drymachining and Minimal MWF application strategies were discussed. These processmodifications currently under active research aim to reduce worker exposure to MWFmist and to reduce the health risks and environmental impact of MWF chemistries.A case
