He was recently awarded an NSF CAREER grant to study the experiences of LGBTQ under- graduates in
engineering degrees. The Biomedical Engineering degreewas created in 1970 and was among the first few in the Nation. In 1999, the science andengineering colleges were combined to become the College of Engineering and Science. Thisreorganization and the administrative changes led to a new vision for the college to be the best atintegrating engineering and science in both education and research1,2. With this new vision,nanotechnology was determined to be a strategic area of focus. Funding was obtained to build aresearch center, the Institute for Micromanufacturing in 1999. Several faculty were hired withexpertise in nanotechnology, and graduate courses were added to the roster until a fullMicro/Nano concentration was established in the Ph.D

It also seems to run counter to a number of givens in their lives especially sinceteacher career advancement seems to dictate that they pursue one or more masters degrees withthe corresponding homework. Finally, the idea of conducting a course with no fixed finalperformance expectations might be just a bit “around the bend”. Naturally, these are all genuineconcerns and this course set does not blatantly ignore the good practices expected of any course.However, it is one thing for an in-service teacher to succeed when writing papers and/or doingliterature research in a method course or principles of school administration course and quiteanother for a teacher with no or at best absolute minimal previous exposure to engineeringscience and

The main conversation topics included: required skillset for MRE graduates, the role ofindustry in shaping MRE education, the key components of MRE programs, and how to bestbalance theory and practice. The fruitful discussions and interactions during the workshopsparked the idea to create an online community where MRE educators can exchange ideas, sharecurricula and best practices, and continue the conversation.To this end, in March 2017, with support from one of the industrial partners, Quanser, two of theauthors (NL, VK) launched the Mechatronics Education Community [5].

He believes well trained, curious, thoughtful people are crucial to a university’s research effort, and similarly to the function and survival of society. For this reason, the overarching goal of his teaching is to impart the core content needed by the students, and to do so while encouraging inquisition and
assessment to improve teaching practice or student learning.But there are also significant differences between the issues facing K-12 and University faculty,primarily due to the nature of the established criteria for the two populations. Indicators of K-12content standards, aligned with teachers’ instructional objectives, specify very discrete skills andknowledge that students are expected to achieve at identified grade levels, with perceived weakor non-existing connections between them within a grade level or between grade levels.Acquisition of these skills and knowledge are usually measured through standardized state-wideassessments, which at best provides discrete aspects or chunks of student performance. This cancreate an apparent fragmentation

adjacent to them more. With groups of only three students, this simple and powerful option is taken away from you. The two more dominant students will always be able to read each other's work easily. TIP: Don’t isolate female students. “Anne is in a group of four with John, Sarah and Kevin. However, today Sarah is absent. While working on the problem, John and Kevin talk mostly to each other, and Anne doesn’t feel like she is being heard, even when her teammates are pursuing an incorrect solution. Her frustration builds until she excuses herself from class.” The acceptable integers for the number of females in a group are 0, 2 and 3. The 1research indicates this is the best practice.
