Course development was guided by personalcommunications with David F. Ollis and his 1995 article1 in Chemical Engineering Education on“The Research Proposition.” The endearing premise of this proposal-based qualifying exam isthat writing a research proposal is a learning tool that teaches tangible research skills whichstudents do not gain in their traditional graduate coursework.

This paper documents the efforts that have been put in place so far aroundimplementing citation justice education at UMD libraries including developing instructionmodules and research guides. In particular, focusing on the librarians’ instigation of a closepartnership with the faculty and graduate students of the Civil and Environmental EngineeringDepartment (CEE) who were particularly receptive to expanding their scholarly communicationpractices to include aspects of citation justice. Additionally, it explores the potential to developfurther support for tools including code, templates, and author associations and lists that can beused to implement diverse citations. Future

Thework presented was done with a freshman mathematics major at Texas A&M–Corpus Christi.The student joined a continuing project of the Division of Nearshore Research which usesvarious models to predict water levels along the Texas coast. The most successful models useneural networks written in Matlab and are trained with a backpropagation algorithm. The trainingset consists of one year’s worth of hourly water level and wind data. Initially the weights andbiases of all neurons are assigned at random or with the Nguyen–Widrow algorithm. With theseweights and biases, the forecast is computed and then compared to the actual water levels. Ineach training epoch, the weights and biases are updated following

Assessing a Research-Based Mentoring Program for Novice EngineersAbstractWhile the importance of trust has largely been explored in large business organizations, littleattention has been given to the role of trust in one-on-one mentoring relationships betweenengineers1. Trust has been relatively understudied in academic settings, especially in mentoringrelationships between undergraduate and graduate students in research laboratory settings. Byassessing ways of creating and maintaining trust in engineering relationships, we will be able tocreate more comprehensive guidelines on building

One factor associated with team effectiveness isteam composition [2]. Because of the increasing number of women joining the work force overthe years; the gender effect on team performance has received attention. The results of previousstudies have been conflicting because some researchers have found homogeneous teams to bemore productive, whereas others have found the opposite to be true. Moreover, a recent studyfound the gender to be an insignificant variable for its effect on the performance of productdesign teams [3]. The duration of the design task included in this study was only 45 minutes.The effect
