Many large multinational companies are cognizant ofimpending overseas growing renewable energy demand for a new generation of green energyproducts, and they are beginning to formulate their response to such growth. Some haveembraced the notion that green energy products and production techniques are a competitiveweapon. But many energy manufacturers, especially smaller ones in the United States, are farbehind in acknowledging and addressing the renewable energy concerns of governments andconsumers.Today, we need a comprehensive industrial strategy to rebuild manufacturing — and byextension, “Main Street” — across the United States.

As the pre-testdata also indicated, the two cohorts entered the course with a similar academic foundation.In addition, the distributions of the grades are shown in Figure 5, relative to the percentage ofstudents enrolled in the course. While the course assessments were non-standard, it is interestingto observe the difference in the overall distributions of the course grades. This differenceindicates that the inverted cohort resulted in more students achieving grades of A and A+.Table 5. Comparison of Prior Academic Performance and Final Course

Of the fourobjectives for the course, all are certainly being met to some extent. Improvement couldcertainly be made on the final objective of providing opportunities to test hypotheses, anddesign solutions to posed challenges.Anecdotal feedback from the small number of students who took the most current version ofthe NE Lab was overwhelmingly positive. They perceived the experience as extremelyexciting and cutting edge, no doubt in part because much of the time they worked insideresearch laboratories with faculty and other research staff. Of course these very samereasons made the NE Lab resource intensive. As long as

The network map confirmed the hypothesis that when students didrespond, they predominately only identified the other students in their assigned team. As isobserved from the Figure 1, the overall network is comprised of many small groups (i.e., teams).However, the more intricate set of interactions in the sociogram confirms that it is possible tocapture a complex and representative view of the students’ social networks. These findingsconfirmed that it is possible to implement SNA in a large team-based engineering design course,while simultaneously demonstrated a need to develop a method to collect more representativedata of the social

We are interested in knowing the level of interest in teaching careers to assess thefeasibility of moving significant numbers of students into education. An understanding of theincentives and impediments students perceive will make it easier to design programs which couldmotivate engineering students to consider teaching as a career. Thus, the results of this studyshould have direct bearing on programs intended to tap into this large pool of potential teachers.

While there are many definitions available, see Brannick 7, some of which arelengthy, the following succinct definition is used: team, a small number of people working together towards a common goal with shared responsibility.Notably, however, the definition of team is somewhat context sensitive, e.g. how large is the taskand how many individuals might it require to get it done. In a follow-on activity, students arechallenged to think about good team behaviors and obstacles to good teamwork and are asked torespond to questions (4) and (5) above.

There was more alignment in positive codes (M-1P,D-5P, and S-1P) in responses for those who recommended “major revision” than “reject”in the Post-SPR compared to the Pre-SPR.LimitationsA limitation of this study is the small sample (n=27), resulting in few cases within eachsubgroup analyzed. Future data collection will address this deficiency. Also, it is possible thatincreased alignment of codes among participants in the Post-SPR compared to the Pre-SPRcould be due to the fact that codes were provided on the Post-SPR, whereas the Pre-SPR wasopen-ended. To address this issue, we used the Post- manuscript from cohort 1 as the Pre-manuscript for cohort 2 and made the SPR open-ended. Doing this enables us to assess theextent to
