Abstract
Recently, more than 200 participants heard a lunch-time speaker at a National Science Foundation conference. Because the conference was for those who had won grants that concerned educating engineers, most of the participants were engineering faculty. Before the guest speaker, who was from an outside agency, took the stage, the energy level in the room was high. Most of the participants were presenting their projects in posters that afternoon, and many conversations at the round tables around the room involved participants sharing results. When the speaker took the stage, those conversations quieted.
