AC 2012-4728: EXPLORING NANOTECHNOLOGY WITH ELECTRO-SPINNING: DESIGN, EXPERIMENT, AND DISCOVER!Ms. Jennifer S. Atchison, Drexel University Jennifer S. Atchison holds a bachelor’s of science in materials engineering and is currently a Ph.D. can- didate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University. Before returning to Drexel for her graduate education, she worked at the American Competitiveness Institute and JDS Uniphase as a Reliability Engineer. Her research, under the guidance of Dr. Caroline Schauer, is fo- cused on exploring electrospun polyelectrolyte nanofiber composites for sensing applications. She also has experience in optics, photonics, and near field scanning probe
ininnovation-related tasks, was measured using a validated Innovation Efficacy scale. The studyfurther explores the effect of graduate students acting as learning coaches and project mentors.This work examines whether the learning coaches’ guidance and support contribute to increasinginnovation self-efficacy. The IES scale was modified to include role-specific items for studentsto rate how the coach and mentor contributed to their innovation self-efficacy.Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) is an educational approach designed to foster origination,particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines such asbiomedical engineering. Unlike traditional project-based learning, IBL focuses on solving openproblems, identifying new

practitioners of what perspective to take. Oneargument is that an interpretivist lens that appreciates the diverse internalization of skills bystudents could motivate the more creative and authentic formation of professional skills instudents as compared to a yardstick positivist approach. On the other hand, there may beconsiderations on the degree to which students have the autonomy to form and define theirprofessional skills. This is because students are inherently novice learners and may not realizethe complexity of authentic engineering problems, and the professional skills and ethicalresponsibilities that are used as part of problem-solving.Step 6 – Alternatives: Deciding on a perspective may be difficult but educating about theexistence of

international student enrollment inU.S. graduate engineering programs is much wider than the gap at the undergraduate level. Keysocioeconomic factors contributing to the reluctance of U.S. born engineering bachelor’sdegree recipients to pursue graduate school immediately upon graduation are: (1) immediateearning potential, (2) economic status of family, and (3) student loan burden. In contrast, thekey factors attracting international students, especially from Asian countries, to pursuegraduate degrees in the U.S. are: (1) quality and marketability of U.S. education, (2) availabilityof graduate assistantships/fellowships/scholarships, and (3) job opportunities and plans to stayin the U.S. upon graduation [15].DiscussionThis study aims to answer the
knowledge as filters guiding thealignment of teaching practices with their convictions. This work holds significant implicationsfor current and future first-year instructors in that this paper will showcase how the instructors inthis study use their understanding of the content and their students to teach, which is a criticalaspect of helping students successfully integrate into engineering.IntroductionImproving the percentage of undergraduate engineering students and enhancing undergraduategraduation rates has been identified as a priority for engineering education. To achieve this,many regional, national, and international assessments have been recommended to also enhancethe caliber of engineering graduates. Greater focus is being given to how
