The reasons for primarilytargeting graduate students for inclusion in research programs and activities include thefollowing: Programmatic emphasis on education and research at the graduate level as opposed to t the undergraduate level. A need for specific background, skills, and knowledge (e.g., successful completion of a certain set of courses or undergraduate degree). Perceptions or expectations regarding greater dedication, drive, and motivation among graduate students (when compared to those of undergraduates). Perceived levels of greater maturity and sense of

VOS allows minute-by-minute capture ofboth student and instructor activities during a classroom session via handheld personal dataassistants (PDAs) and has been previously described. However, generating useful informationfor instructors based on this data is time-consuming, and instructors often wait days or weeks forthe appropriate reports to be generated on a case-by-case basis.

. This is particularly notable in transdisciplinary startups such as smartenergy and nanomedical technologies, where cross-disciplinary expertise is increasingly vital. Asa result, emerging entrepreneurs in these sectors often encounter challenges in accessingadequate support. These challenges persist in the 21st century, when U.S. innovation facesunprecedented competition for leadership. In 1960, U.S. research and development (R&D)spending for defense and private industries constituted approximately 69% of the global total(CRS, 2018). However, by 2016, the U.S. share of global R&D spending had dwindled to just28%, largely due to China's remarkable technological advancements. If this trajectory continues,China's R&D spending as a
