Given the relatively large number of items in the scaleused for this research and the possibility for multiple valid procedures to produce differentresults, the team expressed concern across multiple discussions for finding a result which was“the most valid.” The faculty member leading the project encouraged the team to explore thedata thoroughly by adopting different approaches and consulted the other team members multipletimes during and after the analysis.

If adequately tested and reported, this provides evidence both for when a findingworks, but also when it does not. This information can be essential for enhancing understandingof the causal explanation underlying the effects.Barriers to Research/Classroom TransitionsIn general, the lack of translation of educational innovations can be attributed to various causes,broadly in the three categories: systemic, individual adopter, and innovation ecosystem, asshown in Figure 1.

Although diverse, these fields are alllinked by the pressing need for engineers to understand fundamental concepts in biology. Theconcurrence of these forces has propelled us towards biology as a new frontier for engineeringeducation.To meet this need, the authors, faculty in the UW College of Engineering who are experts inbiology together with educational researchers from the UW Center for Engineering Learning andTeaching are developing a series of new courses and smaller curriculum modules

It is largely absent, however, in doctoralengineering programs1. This is of particular concern in the area of nanotechnology, which islargely being taught as a specialty in graduate programs. This paper describes a unique newcourse in the societal and ethical issues of nanotechnology that addresses this need.Students who undertake graduate engineering training can find that the conduct of research posesethical challenges that go beyond the norms of professional practice
