AbstractScholars and practitioners have long viewed learners as works-in-progress and as somewhat empty vessels to be filled with appropriate knowledge and skills to become future expert practitioners. However, based on an ethnography of two engineering laboratories, I found that laboratory members regularly swap the roles of learner and instructor, regardless of their status as an undergraduate student, a graduate student, or a faculty member. Furthermore, undergraduate students make crucial contributions to their research communities in the form of knowledge, creativity, and opportunities for other members to learn and build relationships through teaching. What, then, do the identities of “novice” and “expert” mean in practice? I argue that it is more productive to define the identity of a community based on mutual learning and epistemic exchange rather than on expertise.

• Students as Partners (SaP) is a pedagogical approach that challenges the traditional learner roles in higher education by promoting collaboration between students and faculty to enhance teaching and learning [1]• This work consists of the partnership between a new faculty member and graduate student partner (GSP) (not the course TA) to design assessment materials for a year 3 core Mech. Eng. course with ~40 students• Deliverables from the collaboration include adaptation of course rubrics (see below) and the implementation of the CATME rubric [2] for team evaluation• Rubric adaptation was in part guided from Brookhart’s book [3]

Abstract A number of new trends in material mechanics and engineering science can be traced back to the PhD work of Hussein Zbib at Michigan Technological University. In particular, the topics of shear bands and plastic instabilities found a new basis and direction, prompting distinguished researchers – of the caliber of Coleman, Batra, Fleck and Hutchinson, Estrin and Kubin, Muhlhaus and Vardoulakis, Tomita and de Borst, Zaiser and Hahner (to mention a few that he interacted with as a graduate student), as well as of Belytschko, Steinmann, Voyiadjis, Polizzotto, and more recently of K. Aifantis/J. Willis and M. Gurtin/L. Anand – to turn their attention to gradient plasticity and make their own monumental contributions in this field. This article first provides a brief account of the initial attempts, I had the joy to share with him, on gradient mechanics theory and its implications to the problems of strain localization and size effects. It then continues with a brief exposition of topics that his “scientific family” has taken up in parallel with him or later on. Finally, it concludes with a sketch of ideas I discussed with him during his post-doctoral period at Michigan Tech (MTU) and his tenure period as a faculty member and Chairman at Washington State (WSU) which, unfortunately, he did not have the time to elaborate upon.

Research Assistant

In 1965, when I was a graduate student I had just enough extra money to pay for one student subscription to an anthropology journal. I asked the faculty member for whom I worked as a research assistant to recommend which journal I should spend this money on. He told me that if I only had funds enough for one journal it must be spent on a student membership in the Society for Applied Anthropology because that was where I was going to learn the most that would be of use to my career whether I was to become an academic or another kind of practitioner.

This study assessed differences in response rate when the author of a survey was identified as a graduate student or a faculty member. A survey on research ethics was mailed to 500 nurse faculty members with half of the covering letters signed as a graduate student and half signed as a faculty member. There were 388 (78%) out of a possible 495 surveys returned. The response rate was 78% for graduate student and 77% for faculty identifications, not significant by chi-square test.

Mentoring Relationship

Cross - cultural mentoring relationships between younger mentors and older mentees are increasing in frequency across all levels of post - secondary education. Generational cultural differences can result in conflict and misunderstanding and therefore should be considered in non - traditional inter - generational mentoring relationships. Through auto - ethnographic inquiry, we, a younger faculty member and older graduate student, explored our mentoring relationship. We identified communication, respect, and ambiguous roles as issues that significantly impacted our mentorship. The manifestation of power was also highlighted in the study.
