This subcommittee’s goal was to build upon the work done at the conference in theform of a review of efforts to develop bodies of knowledge and learning outcomes that includedvarious methodologies and approaches [23] that culminated in the creation of the NationalTransportation Curriculum Project (NTCP) [17]. Due to the concern that the averagetransportation engineering course does not meet the needs of students and the profession, theNTCP focused on the typical introductory transportation engineering course at theundergraduate level [17]. The NTCP created learning outcomes, knowledge tables (includingconcepts, processes, tools, and contexts), and desired ways of being for transportation engineersand

Leadership behaviors were reported by students usingthe Competing Values Framework which focuses on student behaviors in four orientations:Collaborate, Create, Control, and Compete. The results show that there were some significantdifferences among self-perceptions at the beginning, middle, and end of the class, especially inthe Create, Control, and Compete leadership orientations. Differences in self-perception amongmen and women were more prominent in the Create orientation at the beginning of the coursewith women starting lower but nearly matching men at the end of the course.

graduate with little development of leadership skillsand engineering educators do not currently have sufficient understanding of how engineeringstudents develop into leaders.This NSF ECE supported project seeks to close that gap by improving our understanding of therole leadership plays in the process of becoming an engineer. Specifically, this work investigatesthe role of leadership as a component of the development of an engineering identity inundergraduate students. By building on the idea that seeing oneself as an engineering leaderrequires the development of an engineering identity in combination with the development of aleadership identity, this work investigates the process of becoming an engineering leader andleverages the central role
,through the interactions of students, faculty, and industry, through participation in engineering-related activities, and through reinforcement of shared similarities. The goal of this project is todevelop a mechanical engineering program where students and faculty are immersed in a cultureof doing engineering with practicing engineers that in turn fosters an identity of being anengineer. This culture of “Engineering with Engineers” is created through changes in four areas:shared vision, reflective faculty, relevant curriculum and pedagogy, and supportive policies. Ineach, a variety of actions create the cultural change, address barriers to change, and ensuresustainability. A common theme unifying these changes is a significant connection to

many lab stationsclose to distance learners. The limited availability of instructors to verify students’ work hasmade it difficult for students to receive the help they need to complete projects. Multiplemethods, such as lab simulators or a remote laboratory, have been proposed and used toaddress these challenges based on the idea that simulators can replace the physicalexperiments. There are multiple software programs that enable students to design electroniccircuits. These programs contain virtual instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators,and logic analyzers that can be used to simulate and observe the voltages and currents atvarious points of a circuit. However, no simulator can completely replace the actual hands-onlaboratory
