-student relationship is important to the completion of agraduate degree, as the team works together to produce a thesis or dissertation, but advisors maybecome inaccessible for a variety of reasons.2, 8 Faculty have limited time to teach courses,complete their own research, and mentor students.9 Therefore, it is important for students to haveaccess to resources beyond their faculty advisor to successfully complete their degree.The ability to ground research in appropriate literature, collect thoughts, and express researchactivities requires skills that a graduate student needs to develop. There is a lack of preparationfor graduate students to be successful in a graduate research program.10 Students may have thetechnical skills required to develop

Itis this School of Systems and Enterprises that embarked upon the addition of a new undergraduateprogram in Industrial and Systems Engineering and will graduate its first students in May of 2020.This Stevens ISE program’s objective is to provide a rigorous general engineering undergraduateeducation, with depth in both industrial and systems engineering topics focusing on data, in orderto nurture technical leaders of tomorrow who will be able to engineer, develop, and maintainincreasingly complex systems with cross-discipline content and socio-technical systemdimensions.The curriculum is designed to teach the student many skills. The goal of the curriculum’s designis not just to teach students to think about the ways in which technology

smaller universities.The added costs to staffing, research spaces, and enrollment challenges are barriers to starting arich course for aspiring students.One way to creatively support a Cardiovascular Engineering course at smaller, under-resourcedprograms is establishing collaborative relationships with other institutions. With the sudden riseof remote learning tools and the increased proficiencies in remote delivery, the bridge to developmulti-institutional collaboration has never been more accessible. While it is more common to seemultiple institutions collaborate on research, collaborative education can benefit all participatinginstitutions. The diversity of teaching and research experience can provide greater depth andoffer broader expertise

research that confirms this belief. Indeed somework suggests that engineering graduates are ill-prepared to solve the complex problems theyencounter in the workplace [4]. Substantial work has been devoted to characterizing student andexpert problem-solving in physics [5-11] and engineering [12-14], but there are almost noagreed-upon measures of problem solving [8]. If we are to teach undergraduate students to solvecomplex, real-world problems we must be able to measure how well they are learning thenecessary skills. In this work, we describe the testing of a new assessment to measuredimensions of problem-solving in undergraduate chemical engineering courses.Much of the empirical work in problem-solving has focused on differences between experts

Within theselearning-centers, effective retention initiatives that supported student diversity in learning thatmay require different approaches to college teaching, even in math and sciences [10]. Preliminary evaluations of students found that while most students prefer the new approaches tolearning, women and some minority students demonstrated differences in preferred learningstyles as assessed by the Myers-Briggs Inventory [5]. Additionally, when considering theexternal obstacles and characteristics of NT students, it cannot be assumed that students arelargely isolated from worldly

not the scale orcost) that apply today. Is this not therefore an argument to retain teaching these basicprinciples? The answer would be affirmative if the principles were used in the same way.Unfortunately, the applications (and therefore the necessary skills) have changedradically.The inexorable increase in semiconductor packing density has several importantconsequences. The first is that the cost of a gate or a memory cell is now measured innano-$ 7. True, they come millions or even billions on a chip but these are today’sbuilding blocks. The second feature is that chip fabrication and the associated boardassembly process are sufficiently reliable to allow millions of samples to be made withvery few failures.

point of emphasis that seems to fallsomewhere between plea and demand. “It is extremely important that you read the textbook”, henotes. “It is very difficult for you to understand the concepts and succeed in this class withoutreading the text and attending all lectures.”As he sets the syllabus aside, the instructor expresses his desire for the class to work hard andenjoy the semester of materials science. He then pauses for a moment. “But above all else,” henotes, “I would like you use this course to become a more creative, more innovative engineer.”BackgroundCollege instructors have been struggling with a lack of creative skill development in theirstudents for many decades.
