All of the other classes inthe students’ degree program were in a traditional face-to-face format.The class used for this educational research project is a required course in operationsmanagement in the Engineering Management Master’s Degree at Missouri University of Scienceand Technology (Missouri S&T). The class is typically taught multiple times a year, both face-to-face and live streaming over the Internet for distance students. The Engineering ManagementMaster’s Degree is a “broadening” degree.

As more schools of engineering add leadership education this contributeto doing so in ways that make leadership education more accessible to more engineeringstudents. This will be necessary as graduates will need these skills to complement their technicalskills in order to be successful in industry.     References  Guthrie,  K.  L.,  Jones,  T.  B.,  Osteen,  L.  K.,  &  Hu,  S.  (2013).  Cultivating  Leader  Identity  and   Capacity  in  Students  from  Diverse  Backgrounds:  ASHE  Higher  Education  Report,  39:4.   Hoboken,  NJ:  Wiley.  Guthrie,  K.  L.,  &  Osteen,  L.  K

The project challenges students to evaluatethemselves against a benchmark student—referred to as a "world-class" engineering student—based on the following objectives: 1. Setting goal(s), e.g. which major to pursue, graduating with an engineering degree, etc. 2. Developing a strong commitment to the goal of graduating in engineering, setting-up a plan to graduation 3.

One approach to ethical issues is based on virtues, that is, totake as a reference the moral qualities engineers should have, such as honesty, compassion,respectfulness, etc. Each decision is judged against these qualities or virtues. The decision thatseems to be most in line with the relevant moral virtue(s) is considered to be the best decision,even if it means that certain rules are broken with negative consequences. These approaches canbe found in the ethical codes of professional engineering organizations such as the IEEE Code ofEthics.2 Another approach is based on consequences,3 which requires an
