It willemphasize student teamwork, along with greater consideration of social and economic factors,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. It also requires that faculty members be empowered to mirror thesevalues and skills in their instruction and mentoring. The RED grant connects professional skillsdirectly to the ability to develop and evaluate solutions within these broader contexts.In this work in progress (WIP), we review our progress towards achieving this vision including:• Establishing a foundation for a revised engineering canon that

In these scenarios, team performance can be hampered by intra-team competition,mutual distrust, differing work ethics, and uneven distributions of labor among group members.The danger of suboptimal groups can be especially acute for students in engineeringfundamentals

Currently 23% of seniors scheduled to graduate from the engineeringprogram at ECU in either May or December 2018 began their college experience at a communitycollege. It has been observed that transfer students tend to be more mature than many of thestudents who started as freshmen and have a very strong work ethic. This makes transferstudents, who have proven they are capable of completing college course for two years, lessrisky investments for scholarship funds.

Knowledge translationis emphasized in health care especially because: 1) there are high costs associated with longtemporal lags and 2) there are large gaps between new research and clinical practice which leadto an inefficient use of limited health care resources [2–4]. This area of scholarship has advancedto the stage where there are journals (e.g., Implementation Science) dedicated to addressing theseconcerns specifically. In practice, knowledge translation can be applied to the initial design ofresearch protocols [5

Consequently, at the time ofsubmission, there was more disagreement than consensus regarding DACA recipients andimmigration policies in general.This political climate is important because SCC is located in a state with a large population ofDACA recipients and a large population of immigrants. When creating the recruitment survey,our research group initially wanted to ask questions about US citizenship, but given the largeimmigrant population at our study site, ethics, and overall empathy, we decided not to includethis question on the survey.
