, three doctoral programs have been launched at Boise State University. Thefirst doctoral program established was in Electrical and Computer Engineering, selected becauseof the need for a trained workforce in the region. The other two doctoral programs, MaterialsScience and Engineering, and Computing, were from the start designed as interdisciplinarydegree programs. That is, they were designed for the participation of not just program facultywithin the division, but for the participation of program faculty with related research interests inother departments at the university. This paper presents the steps taken to launch the programs,lessons learned in initiating and administering the programs, best practices undertaken, andchallenges faced by

This provides a rationale for establishing thecourse as a model based on best practices.Description and explanation of learning objectivesThe central idea of the course is to help graduate students become future professionals.Professional practices are cultivated and sustained either explicitly or implicitly withincommunities of practice16. As such, the notion of legitimate peripheral participation15provides a useful framework for understanding the experiences of graduate students (asfuture professionals) as they enter, navigate, and work in a new field of research.

We were able to notonly practice talking about our research to others but we were able to see how we progressedthroughout the semester.’Summary and outlookThe initial offering of the course in Spring 2016 attracted 13 engineering graduate students fromfour disciplines and introduced them to the notion of broader impacts and underscored the valueof engaging in activities to achieve specific societal outcomes. Student feedback from this initialoffering was very positive. The course has already achieved impact by enabling students toimplement their project

Perhaps if a major-specificundergraduate research-exposure course is included early on in the freshman and sophomoreyears, a course where students are dedicated to exploring a research topic of interest, such asVOCs, then students may want to pursue graduate school.Student Surveys:To study the impact of research and student involvement in studies outside the regular coursework a few surveys were performed.

Even if the participants’ first drafts werechanged significantly after feedback from a trusted mentor or advisor, this demonstrates anaspect of discourse enculturation.Viewed through academic literacies theory, the narratives employed by these graduate studentsare meant to strongly align with disciplinary values and norms in order to argue most effectivelyfor the merit of the research proposals. The graduate students are practicing their academicliteracy through the use of both disciplinary language and jargon and the types of activities thatthey perceive best demonstrate the intellectual merits and broader impacts of their researchproposals.The distribution of themes across the broad

Similar conclusions were drawn by IDEO on the topic of energy efficiency in a2009 study for the Department of Energy13.The upshot of their research efforts was that it led to a number of new ideas and directionsfor their design project. They now began asking how can practicing design engineersinnovate in this field? Their goal became innovation, in the sense of searching for new ideasthat lead to a significant impact on society. They concluded that investigating new energyefficiency technologies would be an unlikely path to innovation because of the lack ofinterest on the part of consumers.ConclusionsThe two students working on the Now House Project were able to find a new direction,entirely

The wiki (or a similar forum)would provide an arena for faculty to discuss and set goals, give feedback, share forms andreflect on their experiences.
