, exceptional students can be identified early in their academicstudies.ResearchAt most research universities, the official appointment for a faculty member is 50 percentteaching and 50 percent research. The teaching load is either 3 or 4 courses per year.Theoretically, research activities account for only 50 percent of the faculty’s membertime, but in reality, research oriented activities can consume much more of your time.The research side of academia can be divided into two major sections, research incomeand publications.A significant portion of a faculty member’s job can be spent on locating funding forhis/her research program.

Discussions about the leadership qualitiesnecessary for successful women indicate that the ability to take risks is key (Mills,undated, Howell, 1993, Based on Brown University website). Moreover, they oftenperceive their abilities in science, engineering and mathematics to be less that those oftheir male peers. They, as well as other students who do not typically pursue science,engineering or mathematics, would benefit from increasing exposure to more real-lifelearning

A potential way to structure those conversations is either open or closed card sorting.Card sorting asks a group a broad question such as “what are the strengths of the library” andindividuals arrange cards using a category tree [6]. Open card sorting is when the focus group ishanded a blank set of index cards or sticky notes and invited to write down whatever they chooseto. In a closed card sorting conversation, the cards are already filled out by the researchers andthe group organizes them. A variation of this is the nine

Stresshas been linked to attrition rates for engineering graduate students [8], [9] and stress has beenrelated to mental health challenges in graduate students [10], [11], [12].

We see an opportunity to extend panel discussions to have enduring impact bybroadly distributing the data synthesized during the panel discussions. The use of paneldiscussions as a research endeavor has the potential to broaden researchers' ways of knowing, yetknowledge transfer from panel conversations to peer-reviewed publications has to this point beenminimal.This paper highlights a methodology for analyzing panel discussions, discourse content, andpanelist reflection to produce research results

Conversely, we relish the students who might be described as less giftedfor learning who triumph over their limitations to produce stellar work because they work hardand aspire to be the best. There has been a significant amount of research done attempting toqualify and quantify success in education, life, and career.

When asked what they think might happen in a studio they usually suggest: paint, draw, sculpt, write, and other active pursuits. The difference is clear. The focus in a studio is on work done by the student. That is the key distinction.1While this definition (or refusal to make one) is useful in understanding and appreciating thecreative freedom and pedagogic experimentation in that school's reform of the introductoryengineering curriculum, the lack of a specific definition may serve to make assessment of studiocourses more difficult than necessary.

Seven responded to both.)Initially, students reported they were “somewhat” or “very” comfortable in their ability to dogeneral tasks such as “working independently,” “problem solving in general,” and “managing mytime.” This is contrasted with their lower initial comfort levels in doing more specific—perhapshigher-level—research skills , such as “defending an argument when asked questions,”“identifying limitations of research methods and designs,” “understanding journal articles,” and“writing scientific reports and papers.” Following the REU program, however, the resultsshowed a change. On average, they
