consistently self-reporting weaker scores on both subscales of“independence of learning” and “study habits”. Finally, male students held a higher self-belief inindependence of learning compared with female students.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that one goal of higher education is to instill in students the need for and thepractice of lifelong learning. All major stakeholders of higher education – graduates, employers,faculty and accrediting agencies – agree that this outcome is critically important given the rapidpace of change of society, especially in engineering and technology. Our graduates must adaptto this change to remain productive contributors. Indeed, it can be argued that much – or evenmost – of what an engineering graduate needs to

of learning engineering design, we have developed a new method ofteaching engineering design which covers most aspects of a design. The new method fits into afour- semester design course series. The new method uses project-based learning and alsoaddresses the issue of having students from multiple upperclass levels on one team.1. IntroductionDesign is an important part of the engineering curricula not only in the eyes of industry but alsothe Accreditation Board of Engineers and Technology (ABET) 1, 2, therefore special attention hasbeen given to design courses at engineering colleges across the nation and worldwide. In designcourses, students integrate and apply their knowledge to design products or to address problems.The design process
) Page 23.16.2(Source 4)Many organizations now notice the lack of engineering talent capable of stepping into leadershiproles in today’s fast paced, technology-driven environment. To remedy this situation, largerbusinesses are taking it upon themselves to develop their own leadership development programs fornew college hires. Examples of such programs are found in GE’s Edison Development Engineering,Operations Management Leadership Programs and J&J’s Global Operations LeadershipDevelopment or “Gold” program. In fact, many employers in need of hiring better-trained leadersare now modeling their leadership programs after these programs. Looking closely at leadershipdevelop programs, often the participants are simply rotated through different
