A living laboratorybecomes a proving ground where engineers with managerial responsibilities are given real-world problem solving opportunities where a blending of leadership and management skills isnecessary to address conflicting problem solving cultures and/or when combined business andtechnology solutions are necessary. In exciting entrepreneurial organizations, theseopportunities occur on a routine basis. However, in a large organization, sufficient agility isoften blocked by risk aversion and technical arrogance. Greenleaf’s text on Servant Leadershipand/or scripture are often suggested as required reading. 3Current StudyThe current article provides an example of

Then, we present theresults of the intervention and provide a summary of the conclusions, implications, andrecommendations for our planned next steps in this research direction. The results of this studyare meant to inform a more thorough, mixed methods assessment of the simulation game’s nextimplementation, as well as to refine and iterate the game’s design.BackgroundContemporary engineering work primarily involved solving problems related to decision-makingamong alternatives, troubleshooting malfunctioning systems, and design, all of which requiresome level

The team then moved to the partner site to conduct aRIE to create positive change for the organization. The team was responsible for facilitating anagreed upon definition of the problem, observing and documenting process flows for relatedareas, and collecting and analyzing key data related to the problem. This information was thenutilized to generate potential solutions, finalize and implement the selected solution(s), anddesign and implement appropriate controls to ensure that the problem stays fixed followingsolution implementation. These activities were run as a PDCA cycle consistent with thehealthcare approaches of

(SDSU). The case study presented in this paper demonstrates howapplication of engineering management and quality improvement tools, such as Kaizen and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, along with an enhanced approach to our commonly used teachingobservation process contributed to improved instructor’s outcomes.Formative versus Summative Teaching ObservationObservations of teaching can take the form of summative or formative evaluation, which servedifferent purposes for the faculty member being observed. The Iowa State Center for Excellencein Learning and Teaching2 has published a literature review, and statement of best practices, insummative peer evaluation of teaching, that is, where that evaluation plays a role in personneldecisions such as

math that doesnot relate directly to the topic at hand. Use undergraduate students, family members, otherfaculty and staff, or anyone that you can find to test and discuss your plans. Students especiallycan provide a perspective to help with the streamlining process. A good example of streamliningis provided with the activity in section 4.g. Implementing the activityAt this point, it is time to implement the activity as it has been developed. Make sure to haveextensions or additional activities ready in case the project takes less time than expected. Thefirst time an activity is implemented, it is nearly impossible to predict exactly how it will go. Beprepared for things to go wrong and have as many backup plans as possible. The amount

Participants were actively trained inteamwork and its constructs, therefore it is possible that students who choose to participate inthe post-test were very aware of the importance of our experiment, and their responses couldbe influenced by the training, and the expectation of receiving some reward from the teachingteam.For future work, we will continue conducting this experiment next semester and morequantitative data will be collected. Specifically, we plan to do an experiment having a controland experimental group

over 10 years in the spaceindustry as a practicing engineer before joining academia, is illustrative: As the development of a satellite was ending, we (team members) started to talk to each other about what was coming next for us. One of my colleagues said that he was planning to write the continuation of Harry Potter. Intrigued by the idea, we asked him why. His answer was enlightening: “I have had to write so much science fiction in this project, that I feel totally capable to do it!”Engineering work affects society. Consequently, engineers have an inherent responsibility as partof their engineering practice for public safety and environmental sustainability, which requiresengineers to practice engineering
