carried out as part of agraduate degree project [9].Background: Leadership in LiteratureLeadership has been researched for centuries and is said to be “one of the most observed andleast understood phenomena on the earth” [10, p. 2]. In literature, leadership theories anddefinitions are often categorized into different models or styles. Within these vast arrays oftheories and models, there is an extensive amount of literature on defining leadership. Forexample, a thorough review of 160 articles defining leadership provided a detailed integrativedefinition of leadership that is over 1600 words [11]. Their definition of leadership contains 90variables that make up the whole of leadership, which provides a detailed view on the breadthand scope of

These three reasons forthe top ranking of data science as a career choice are: i) the overall shortage of data analyticstalent, ii) the ever-growing demands of “big data” on companies and other organizations, and iii)the aforementioned fact that facing the challenges of, and working with, the “big data” is nolonger limited to a handful of tech giants (and government agencies) [2].

Undergraduateresearch has been linked to retention in undergraduate degree programs [6], improved skills indata acquisition, data reduction, and public speaking [7], and increased participation in graduateprograms [8].

One issue with this model is itrequires all the students and several libraries to be together at the same space and time.Other gamifying projects have been done in a more asynchronous video game format, such asvideo games created at Rowan University for their freshman engineering clinics (Gulotta).

reversing the roles teachers and students play in a traditionallearning environment, the classroom is then “flipped” or “inverted” [2, 6]. As summarized bySchmidt and Ralph [15], the “I do”, “We do”, “You do” teaching approach has become “Youdo”, “We do”, “I do”.A flipped classroom, when designed and implemented well, can provide a range of benefits. Forinstructors, having students learn outside of the class gives them more time to cover additionalselected topics [6]. Instructors will also have the freedom to use class time for highly interactiveactivities [2] through team-based learning, problem-based learning, or hands-on projects etc..They will also likely to give more personal attention and guidance to the students.

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this

Undergraduates give gradsopportunities to learn how to communicate with and manage others, a valuable professional skill.Dan’s postdoc James argued that this is the most important reason to include undergraduates in aresearch group: “I think [teaching undergraduates] is not very helpful for the project, but it’svery helpful for grad students to learn how to teach the junior students.” He believes thatundergraduates’ presence benefits grad students’ development more than the lab’s research.

While textbooksmentioned other principles such as Rawls’ theory of Justice, these two – utilitarianism andKant’s Imperative- translated as a version of the Golden Rule – remained the main basis.This was the case for example of the widely used textbook on engineering ethics [3].

We haverevised our modern physics course to include some quantum computing projects. Theseintroductory projects can easily be integrated into the curriculum since our engineering studentshave familiarity with MATLAB. The MATLAB environment is designed to handle vectors andmatrices – the fundamental tools of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is introduced bydescribing entanglement from the very beginning. Mermin’s device is used as a platform to delveinto the extremely peculiar nature of quantum mechanics.4This paper is organized as follows: first we describe Mermin’s device, next we explain howDirac
