Studentprogress and leadership development are tracked as they complete the requirements of the minor. The elective courses are classified into four concentrations: (1) communication, (2)ethics, (3) creativity and innovation, and (4) global and societal impact. The four concentrationareas were created following research about other engineering leadership programs and thecourses available to engineering students across the university. The ‘communication’concentration includes courses that focus on the development of students' professional skills andengagement with technical

creation of a “CreativityMinor”. A cross-college committee was formed and the focus changed from creativity andinnovation to leadership, specifically leadership for engineers. The minor would help studentsdevelop the essential leadership skills necessary in engineering, including project management,working in teams, communication skills, global awareness, green engineering, and professionalethics.11 In 1995 the Plan was crystallized by the proposal for an Engineering LeadershipDevelopment Minor (ELDM) consisting of courses in leadership, organizational and businessskills, entrepreneurship, and a capstone course in science, technology and public policy.12Creativity and innovation, although the original focus of the proposed Minor and

This is increasingly true in modern society inwhich scientists and engineers must address complex, interdisciplinary challenges on a globalscale. While current efforts at teaching interdisciplinary problem-solving at the collegiate-level(e.g., class projects, capstone courses) exist, the effectiveness of many of these approaches areineffective in achieving interdisciplinary learning objectives. Richter and Paretti (2009)identified two main learning barriers to common interdisciplinary approaches: (1) students areunable to identify the relationship between their own

. Courses are often integrated into these two major fields to allow for some exposure to themanufacturing industry. A paper in the Journal of Engineering Education notes that amovement to move to higher course content on manufacturing in both of these disciplines isneeded8. Many current engineering programs do not emphasize the marriage of design andmanufacturing in a modern industrial technical workforce.Many research studies have assessed the quality of exposure to manufacturing through the senior“Capstone” design project course. McMasters and Lang believe that too few in industry have anunderstanding of how the current engineering education is set-up. Therefore, if industry partnersare brought into the education process through design projects

MaterialsIntroductionThe work reported in this paper begins with the end of a previous research project. Our earlierwork investigated student understanding of mechanics of materials1–3. After describing howstudents understand this topic, we wanted to move on to developing course materials to helpbuild on students’ existing understanding and address misconceptions. This is not an unusualprogression, and, indeed, our initial research in this area showed us that most course materialsthat are developed from research never achieve broad adoption4. Many engineering educatorsdevelop their own materials, duplicating researchers’ efforts and potentially denying students thebenefit of research-based materials with proven effectiveness. The lack of adoption is a
