improve the emissions from theseengines, a research project was initiated in 1997 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee(UWM). This project has gone through several phases over the years, but the intent ofimproving the emissions from these engines always remained. Initially, the project focused oncharacterizing the extent of the air pollutant emissions (HC, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), andcarbon monoxide (CO)), and quantifying how much the emissions increased as the engines agedthrough their useful lifetime. The project then moved into determining the engine factors mostresponsible for the increase in hydrocarbon emissions. The focus then shifted towards studyingthe durability of catalytic converters installed on the engines over the lifetime of

The researcher, often a "loneranger," must assess the benefits of research to himself, the university, clients or funding agencies,and society in light of what it costs in everything and realistically adjust one’s goals and efforts formaximum rate of return and "Academic Balance"5 in one’s professional and personal life.Achievement of worthy research goals or "effectiveness" is still the bottom line but "efficiency"is also important given other time demands and opportunities that a new engineering educatorexperiences.This maximum rate-of-return comes after an initial incubation period during which one is writingproposals, obtaining data, presenting and

Students enrolled in this problem-based researchseminar learned about the problem area through in-class instruction and homework assignments,and then worked with the instructors to develop individual projects examining various solutionsto the shared research problem. In the second year the course was offered, the focus shifted froma specific problem to the broader topic of image analysis workflows, which are used in manySTEM disciplines to analyze data from photos and videos.

Despite success, thesefundraising efforts were non-trivial and consumed the better part of McCorquodale’s time. More-over, such financing would never have been secured had McCorquodale and his colleagues notwork so diligently to establish relationships in the regional investment community. Perhaps mostimportant was initial financing from the local venture fund, Waypoint Ventures, which served asan impetus for angel investor participation.B.

task is difficultfor most people; it definitely qualifies as a problem for them. Research has shown thatthe nature of the difficulty is the initial representation that almost everyone forms. In thecommon initial representation, the solver includes the constraint that the four straightlines have to fit within the square formed by the arrangement of the nine dots. Someoneattempting to solve this task with this constraint has an impossible challenge since itcannot be done, indeed to draw the four lines appropriately you must go outside the“box” formed by the nine dots.Representations are very important in the problem-solving process because it is actuallythe representation that the problem solver works on.

Excellent teaching in those settings had been generallyoverlooked in the literature, and much of the existing research on effective teaching was focusedon instructors’ actions – what they did in their classrooms
