authors attempt to answer twoquestions: (1) how does an inventor think about forming a whole (complex device, tool orfunction) from parts (simple components)? (2) How can generalizations of thinking processes ofinventors be derived to “guide the act of invention” (p. 321)?Weber et al examined an actual patent (Patent # 4,683,826), granted to John B. Solie, H.D.Wittmuss and O.C. Burnside in 1987, and interviewed one of the inventors of the patent (John B.Solie) using a retrospective protocol method to understand the invention process and derive a setof heuristics to guide invention. Patent # 4,683,826 is an “agricultural invention for theapplication of herbicides” (p. 321) used to apply “herbicide uniformly in one pass over an area,using existing

executionAccording to Bringle and Hatcher [1], service-learning is defined as a “course-based, creditbearing educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activitythat meets identified community needs, and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as togain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and anenhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibility” (p. 112).” Service-learning has beenproven to benefit students in many ways. More specifically, service learning has been found toenhance students’ collaboration skills [2], civic engagement, interpersonal skills [3], [4], andtheir ability to apply knowledge to problem-solving [5].Our service-learning course was

The research questions are: a) What are facultyattitudes towards working life issues and their integration into the curriculum? and b) Whatactivities related to working life do faculty members introduce to the curriculum?These research questions are based on the assumption that faculty attitudes and curricularactivities related to working life are important factors in engineering education if we want toensure that students

EducationMotivation and BackgroundThere are two purposes for this paper. The first purpose is to describe our unique application oftwo different qualitative research methods to evaluate the implementation and outcomes for thefirst year of an NSF funded grant on STEM faculty development. We used two different researchmethods in order to be able to describe and examine adequately the underlying change processesand outcomes that faculty experienced during participation in Year One of the grant. The secondpurpose is to report out the implementation results and outcomes from this evaluation.The two different research methods were: (a) conjecture mapping1 and (b) self-study2,3,4. Thegrant evaluator used conjecture mapping, which is a method from design-based

There have been considerable efforts to recruit additional students toengineering which have yielded modest results. However, the increase in enrollment has notcoincided with an increase in engineering graduates. Therefore the departure of students from thediscipline remains an issue.

Indeed, study-abroad and project-abroad experiencesare increasingly viewed as important for engineering students’ careers. Assessing the studentlearning outcomes of such programs can benefit (a) the students, as they engage in self-reflectionand communication about their experience, (b) the study-abroad program itself, for continualimprovement, and (c) the engineering education community at large, as it seeks effectivemethods and models for preparing engineers for their work.
