of the disciplines working in the integrative field is also vital to success. The key isenabling individuals from different disciplines to work interactively to solve problems andinnovate within the selected field. An example of a good integration is engineering and businessworking on blockchain and financial technology. This area requires complete integration ofexpertise from these two disciplines to develop new ideas and solutions. One Director describedthe selection of the integrative field as “Emerging and will be impacting (society), almost cuttingacross disciplines. A Big umbrella where people can have flexibility to create their own world.”As seen in Equation 1 the integrative field term is in the exponent. This means the degree

The current state ofbioadhesives focuses on sealing tissue defects; however, the aim for next-generation bioadhesivesis to promote complete healing, or regeneration [14]. Achieving this goal will require diversescientific teams, which produce higher impact work [15–17].Outreach with K-12 students is an effective way to engage younger students to study science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at the university level [18,19].

Results may also be of interest to science curriculum developers andengineering educators involved in developing engineering outreach curricula for middle schoolstudents. With many states promoting STEM initiatives to encourage the rigorous teaching ofscience, technology, engineering and mathematics, the results of this study may help strengthenthe results of those efforts.References1.

The CCS100 spectrometers are being developed to be part of the NU freshman HTT&TL experience, but the EST104 course was their first use in an “Intro to Engineering” class. Handouts describing the use of the instruments and projects to be accomplished using the spectral information were created for the EST104 class.
