Development of a Diverse, Globally Competitive Workforce
Broader impacts can integrate one or multiple “cords” of research, education and outreach, and diversity activities, as mapped in examples below:
| Research | Education and Outreach | Diversity | Example impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | Prepare senior undergraduates to join industry or national lab collaborators for summer sponsored data science research internships with virtual co-mentoring with faculty and industry mentors. For professional development in communicating to non-experts, interns will have a research poster presentation in Hillenbrand residence hall, site of the diverse 800-member Data Mine interdisciplinary undergraduate learning community, to further engage undergraduate students. | |
| Yes | Prepare graduate students for the annual 3MT (Three Minute Thesis research communication competition) sponsored campus-wide by the Purdue University Graduate School as dynamic opportunities for graduate students to gain communication skills with non-expert audiences. | ||
| Yes | Co-mentor graduate fellows on cross-institutional research projects that include industrial practitioner members for intrapreneurial thinking (entrepreneurial within companies) in the context of systems-level research. | ||
| Yes | Inform businesses regarding how to integrate the GMA approach to data visualization into practice to increase worker performance and business competitiveness. | ||
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Develop and test an educational intervention that supports improved multi-cultural collaboration for undergraduate engineering students. |
| Yes | Yes | Train project graduate students, postdocs, and researchers on “inclusive science communication” and share results with a diverse array of formal and informal audiences. | |
| Yes | Yes | Yes | Conduct interactive workshop at project outset to build center-wide awareness of effective teaming processes across diverse team composition and discuss impact on scientific discovery and translation of innovations. Annual meetings will assess teaming success and challenges and re- re-alignment to best practices. |
