(Converting a Good Idea into a Fundable Project)

Competitive proposals contain◦ Great idea ◦ Well designed project developed around the idea◦ Convincing description of the project
Non-competitive proposals lack one or more of these elements
Workshop focus: Converting a good idea into a well designed project◦The “project development” phase◦Not the “idea generating” or “writing phases”

Think of the project as a single integrated entity, not a group of individual (independent) elements
Design the project in an iterative process with “successive refinement”

Goals: define your ambition or intention◦What is your overall ambition? ◦What do you hope to achieve?◦Goals provide overarching statements of project
intention Two types of goals◦ “Project management” goals
Start or complete some activity or product◦Student behavior goals
Change the students’ knowledge, skills or attitudes
24
Project Goals
![Page 25: Proposal Writing Strategies and Reviewer Feedback ( An Interactive, Web-Based Workshop)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816869550346895dded3ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Learning goals identify the intended change in knowledge, skills or attitudes
Expected measureable outcomes◦ Identify the observable changes in behavior if goal is
obtained◦One or more specific observable results for each
goal How will achieving your “intention” reflect changes in
student or faculty behavior? How will it change student learning or attitudes?
Project Expected Measurable Outcomes
![Page 26: Proposal Writing Strategies and Reviewer Feedback ( An Interactive, Web-Based Workshop)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816869550346895dded3ed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Within the context of the course Improve ability to
◦ Describe or utilize course concepts◦ Solve textbook problems ◦ Verbally explain solutions◦ Use a simulation or design tool◦ Use the 3-D visualization tool
Beyond the context of the course Improve ability to
◦ Extend course concepts to other areas◦ Solve out-of-context problems ◦ Discuss technical issues◦ Work effectively in teams◦ Visualize 3-D models◦ Exhibit critical thinking skills
26
PD’s Response Goals for Cognitive Behavior
![Page 27: Proposal Writing Strategies and Reviewer Feedback ( An Interactive, Web-Based Workshop)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816869550346895dded3ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Improve students’: Self-confidence Intellectual development Interest in or attitude about engineering
27
PD’s Response Goals for Affective Behavior
![Page 28: Proposal Writing Strategies and Reviewer Feedback ( An Interactive, Web-Based Workshop)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816869550346895dded3ed/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Achieving a cognitive or affective goal should change the way students behave and/or perform◦ They will demonstrate changes in their behavior reflecting
changes in their knowledge, skills or attitudes
Consider a room full of students where some had achieved the goal and some had not◦ How would you determine if a particular student achieved the
learning goal?◦ What questions, activities, or tasks would uncover these
changes?
Expected Measureable Outcomes
![Page 29: Proposal Writing Strategies and Reviewer Feedback ( An Interactive, Web-Based Workshop)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/56816869550346895dded3ed/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Write one expected measurable outcome for each of the following goals:◦ Increase the students’ out-of-context problem solving
skills◦ Improve the students’ attitude about engineering as a
career
Group Activity---- 6 min◦ Think individually -------- ~2 min◦ Share with a partner ----- ~2 min ◦ Report in local group ---- ~2 min

Problem solving Students will be better able to ◦ Draw a model, appropriate abstraction or representation◦ Identify the issues, variables, parameters, etc., in a problem◦ Identify and consider several alternate solution paths◦ Use an iterative process to try, test, and refine an approach◦ Communicate their solution and discuss its reasonableness
Attitude Students will be better able to describe engineering as◦ An exciting career◦ A career that deals with the solution of real and important problems
Students will be better able to discuss the role of engineering in a current event
Students will take subsequent courses at a higher rate
