Develop the idea: What’s the future of the field? What is your 5 year plan? How does this work support that?
15
Develop the idea: Why are you the person to study this problem? What are your qualifications?
16
Informative Subsection “1.3 Relation of CAREER Proposal to PI’s Prior Work and Departmental Goals”
Develop the idea: Why are you the person to study this problem? What are your qualifications?
17
Develop the idea: What other projects have you been involved in? Think broader impacts!
18
Develop the idea: You can’t leverage experiences you don’t have! So get involved now!
19
Develop the idea: Think about how your educational and research plans align! Make sure it’s an integrated educational plan!
20
Develop the idea: Thinks about the broader impacts of the work. Answer the question ‘so what’! Write a 1-pager!
21
But it’s not perfect
yet…
Develop the idea: Don’t wait until it’s ’perfect’ to get feedback on your idea. Use your network!
24
Current State of Research: Extended state-
making and design education research
So far, results have extended knowledge on:
development in engineering students
in engineering design course projects
(preferences for creativity scale) and its impact on creative risk taking
25
Current State of Research: K-12 Outreach through EngInn engineering innovators!
26
Current State of Research: New graduate class on Creative Risk Taking in Engineering Design
27
Current State of Research: 6+ journal articles, 6+ conference papers, 2 web tools, a 1st year module, and 1 MS & 1 PhD Student graduated (on tenure-track)
28
Current State of Research: On-going efforts are focused on exploring the impact of risk- taking in engineering design industry
31
What’s Next?: Design workshops in Morocco in 2017 and 2018
32
What’s Next?: Risk Taking in design industry, Risk taking and creativity in additive manufacturing.
”long-term goal… transform the engineering design process in
creative cognition, decision-making, and engineering design.”
