And Diffusion

Constructive confrontation was originally the central strategy in work-based programs to deal with problem drinking employees. The broadening of these programs to employee assistance programs, coupled with their rapid growth and diffusion, has been accompanied by the medicalization of employee performance problems and the professionalization of means for handling such problems. These trends, together with ideologies based in organizational management and the value orientations of American society, are barriers to supervisory use of constructive confrontation. Data from a 1981 national survey of external program consultants reveals continuing attitudinal support for constructive confrontation. Other attitudes of these consultants point however to the strong need for deliberately designed support systems for the encouragement of supervisory use of constructive confrontation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the process of developing an alternative physical education program using restorative justice practices as a transformative approach to social–emotional learning. Method: This study utilizes qualitative case study methods to examine the implementation process and short-term outcomes. Data sources include focus group interviews, student journals, observations, and reflective field notes. Trustworthiness of the findings are supported by triangulation, peer debriefings, prolonged engagement, and external program reviews. Results: The implementation of social and emotional learning was substantiated by student engagement with four class goals in which they aimed to participate in physical education as “champions,” “heroes,” “achievers,” and “peacemakers.” Restorative pedagogy included restorative chats, listening circles, community circles, and healing circles. Conclusion: This study suggests that transformative curriculum, such as restorative justice, offers a transformative approach to social and emotional learning that is applicable to physical education.

The Impact

Abstract Background Burnout in graduate medical education is common and reported in ~70% of Internal Medicine (IM) residents. Most studies have described interventions focused on residency training, but fellowship training suffers from similar challenges and likely similar levels of burnout. After conducting a needs assessment amongst fellows within our Infectious Diseases (ID) fellowship program, we developed a wellness program to address these issues. Methods In Spring 2018, we reviewed the existing literature and consulted with local experts on trainee well-being. Based on our findings, we designed a multi-tiered approach to enhance wellness amongst fellows. An ID Fellowship Well-Being Committee (WBC) was created in September 2018 to lead the intervention. The WBC includes an even mix of fellows and faculty at multiple levels at all three main teaching hospitals associated with the program. Meetings occur every other month, and co-chairs (one faculty and one fellow) report back to the program director quarterly. Topic areas and interventions are described in Table 1. Fellows were sent a qualitative survey to evaluate the impact of the well-being interventions to date. Results Four of 5 first year fellows responded to the survey, and all felt the retreat should be repeated yearly. Themes identified from the survey included benefits of having protected time together, convening in a low pressure and informal setting to provide feedback, and spending quality time in a non-clinical setting with co-fellows. Fellows cited the wellness retreat as a strength at our annual fellowship external program review. Conclusion Burnout is likely high among IM sub-specialty fellows, and interventions are needed to support the well-being of those trainees. We describe a roadmap for the development of a well-being program at a relatively large, academic ID fellowship program led by a mixed fellow and faculty committee. We will continue to monitor data on fellow burnout and make programmatic changes based on feedback. We are hopeful that our work will empower other programs to engage in developing their own well-being programs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

ABSTRACTThe absence of engineering from K-12 curricula and mainstream media often causes students to refer back to historical stereotypes regarding what engineers look like and the type of work they do. Such misconceptions may prevent high school students from pursuing engineering as a field of study and increase the need for engineering educational programs [1]. Nano-Challenge is an outreach program that orients high school students to engineering through a one-year research internship. The program is held at the Center for Nanoscale Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical Manufacturing Systems (Nano-CEMMS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A major focus of the program is to involve students from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields and inform them about engineering earlier in their careers. An external program evaluation provides anecdotal information about the students’ experiences and gives feedback to inform program improvement.

This paper considers the possible enhancement of the capabilities of an expert system tool. Most of the commercial tools currently available are not particularly suitable for developing expert systems that involve routine design calculations. To overcome this drawback for engineering applications, numerical computations may be carried out by conventional computer programs which can be linked to an expert system tool through its external program interface. This type of expert systems is called a "hybrid" or "coupled" expert system. Practicing engineers will, sooner or later, face the need to use hybrid expert systems. This paper presents a case study which shows how the capabilities of a commercial expert system tool can be enhanced by integrating it with a conventional computer program. The hybrid expert system developed by the authors for illustration purpose can be used for the analysis of plane steel trusses and the evaluation of member design forces. It utilizes an in-house program called “Manager” to integrate two commercial software packages: an expert system tool called KES and a structural analysis package named PFRAME. The capabilities of the hybrid system appear to exceed those of the individual software packages. Key words: knowledge based expert systems, expert system building tools, hybrid expert systems, structural analysis, structural design.
