a collaborative educational pathway for the technology leadersof tomorrow.IntroductionOver the last few years, there have been several reports documenting the need for improvingSTEM education and advancing a national innovation strategy. In 2009, the National EconomicCouncil published a report entitled A Strategy for American Innovation: Driving TowardsSustainable Growth and Quality Report that outlined three broad-based strategies: (a) investmentin the building blocks of American innovation; (b) promotion of competitive markets that spurproductive entrepreneurship; and (c) catalyzing breakthroughs for national priorities. One of thebuilding blocks specified in the report is educating the next generation with 21st centuryknowledge and

In the area of arrow A the financial aspectis the least important, and motivation and internal readiness are the primary factors that impactdecision-making. For example 17% of respondents (scale 2) reported their non-readiness to workwith an IWB, as “I do not want to do that.” In scale 3, 26% of participants still show a lowmotivation for readiness as in, “I am not ready, but might change my mind.”In the arrow B area (scales 5-6-7) the financial factor is more influential. Participants are readyto invest in the purchasing of SMART boards once they have seen the importance of this tool fortheir company and thus have high internal readiness to learn about SMART.Other interesting factors come

The overall objectiveis to lower the activation barrier for using conceptual instruction and assessment so that manymore chemical engineering faculty will incorporate concept-based learning into their classes.The specific objectives of this project are to:1. Develop the AIChE Concept Warehouse, a flexible database-driven website for conceptual questions in the core chemical engineering sciences. Features of the AIChE Concept Warehouse include: a. Making concept questions available in different formats to facilitate widespread use. b. Allowing integration of questions within a course and from different courses so students

Iteration, loopingback to explore alternatives, is an essential part of the design process.5,6 Iterating is, of course,time consuming and costly, but a systematic search for creative solutions early on in the processis not, either extremely costly or terribly time consuming and is fundamental to the design ofinnovative products. Therefore, in this project, students learn what engineers have to deal withand how to look at a problem and take the steps to fix it.Figure 1.
