academic population, underrepresented and misunderstood.Early discussion at the board level in the mid 2000’s indicated a willingness for a paradigm shift.However, the representation of academics on the board and other leadership roles has beenlacking. This can be attributed to the lower numbers of this group relative to the whole, as wellas the requirements of tenure that do not support the time and dedication to such an endeavor. Asmall but influential group of members, including a former board member, and a few involved atvarious levels of the society have been working toward increasing opportunities for women inacademia (WIA). Some of the initiatives have been the societal support of the WIA committee,the addition of professional development

Interfaced the database with the web and mobile client applications.Web and mobile applicationsWeb and mobile client applications provided the following functionality: Allow users to enter station parameters: station #, building name and address, load limit for each location (lbs./ft2 or kg/m2) Represent overlay colorized station locations (using GPS) and ID # onto aerial view of building. Colors indicated degree of safety: green = % below threshold, orange = close to threshold, red = at or exceeded threshold.

He witnessed several forms of experimentation that advancing professionals use,including imitation, efforts to remain true to one’s self and ideals, and use of internal andexternal feedback mechanisms to evaluate their developing “provisional selves.” Ibarra definedthese strategies as “the degree of congruence between what one feels and what onecommunicate[s] in public behavior about one’s character or competence”12 (p.778).

what type of intervention(s) you would recommend.Our preliminary findings indicate a strong grounding in collaboration for all teams andindividuals; strong evidence of empathy among some (but not all) teams and individuals; andvarying degrees of learning that integrates the humanities and engineering. We summarize ourfindings below.Collaboration: All teams and individuals appeared to be engaged. Individuals seemed to haveroughly equal contributions in terms of time on task and specific contributions. All teamsdemonstrated appropriate teamwork. People listened to each other, responded to each otherappropriately, and seemed to value others’ contributions. There was little or no domination byany single person or pair of persons, no
the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads oneto believe that it is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategieswould be deployed any time soon, unless drastic measures are undertaken. The author ismore convinced now than ever, that classroom reformation, including deployment of activelearning strategies, would happen only if the institution mandates it!The Pros and Cons of the Lecture FormatWhen asked why he/she lectures, one faculty responded: “It is a tradition. It was part of mytraining, and seems to dwell in me and seems like what I should be doing. I feel guilty when Iam not lecturing” (13).

The students who brought up other issues in their assignmentswere given individual feedback that addressed their content of their homework more directly.IV.

fromthose that were based on leadership as a process [13]. The former is based on traditional notionsof a leader as an individual with power and authority based on their position within anorganization or society. It was exactly this notion of leadership that was associated with theresistance encountered in our earlier studies. The latter, leadership as a process, has beenarticulated by many scholars, but we chose to use Northouse’s simple definition of leadership as“a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”(p.3) [13]. We also use Rottmann et al.’s orientations to engineering leadership: Technicalmastery - “shar[ing] their technical problem solving skills with others through informalmentorship” (p. 7

At one meeting, theengineering leadership debuted a new voice activated software program that would give verbalcommands to the forklift operator as s/he completed tasks. This was particularly designed tosolve the problems of pallet composition. As one engineer explained, simply providing operatorswith a list of products to be placed on each pallet had left them with too much control, and theoperators had begun to assemble
