Purdue Polytechnic Educational Research and Development: Highlights of 2014 & Ambitions for 2015

Introduction


…I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind. – Neil Gaiman

Welcome to this special Purdue Polytechnic report in which we celebrate our accomplish in 2014, reflect on what we have learned, and prepare for another momentous year.

 

We wrapped up 2014 with a potluck dinner with the Purdue Polytechnic family. It was attended by students, staff, faculty, and their respective families. We especially enjoyed meeting many of our students’ parents and hearing their feedback, questions, and suggestions. One of the highlights of the evening was when the students gave their parents a tour of the lab and showed them the projects they have designed.

We began 2015 with another communal event: a two-day working retreat where we processed program evaluation data collected in 2014 and planned the many activities for 2015. Here too students were present with us. They were invited to add their voices, and several enthusiastically decided to do so. It is very hard to capture the level of energy and the sense of boundless possibilities that reigned during the two-day retreat. When we started a year ago, we half-jokingly stated, “We are not creating a new curriculum; we are creating a new culture.” As we questioned, debated, and “dreamed dangerously and outrageously,” it definitely felt like a new culture — one built on mutual trust, respect, vulnerability, and commitment to a common vision.

The most fitting way to start 2015 is by saluting my colleagues who have been making this possible, taking risks, getting out of their comfort zones, and asking questions that deeply touch our very identities as educators. Kudos to all of you: Kirk Alter, Richard Dionne, Jeffrey Evans, Marisa Exter, Esteban Garcia, Michael Fosmire, Tom Hacker, Robert Herrick, Davin Huston, Gozdem Kilaz, Sorin Matei, Mark Shaurette, Michael Smith, and Amy Van Epps, founding faculty fellows. Welcome to new faculty: Rayvon Fouche, Marifran Mattson, Nancy Gabin, Ajith Rajapaksha, and Sharra Vostrel. And thank you to Stephanie Schmidt and John O’Malley, our dedicated staff.

     Yes, fantastic. This is a topic that excites me. Geometry Dash is a running and jumping game. It contains over 20 stages in which you control a programmable small cube with a single button to dodge 2D obstacles while listening to electronic music. If you hit any of the obstacles, you'll be transported back to the beginning of the level and will have to start over. The stages become more difficult as you progress through the game, and the difficulty of each level is clearly noted.

      I've been a fan of Dragon Ball Z for years, and when I saw this Future Trunks Capsule Corp jacket, I knew I had to get it. It's like a piece of the show that I can wear. The attention to detail is impressive, and the quality looks top-notch. I'm excited to wear it and show off my love for DBZ!

    The figure varies from year to year. Typically, the selectivity in the CIT graduate program is 20-25%. Admissions are highly selective because the number of bloxstrap applications typically exceeds the faculty's capacity to mentor students through the plan of study and thesis requirements.
