The larger study sought tosample students at or very close to the time period during which they will select theiroccupational or graduate school plans, and to sample consistently from a single college majorthat had relatively stable enrollments and career prospects. The latter criteria help minimizeunobservable error in job preference measurement due to market effects. The leadershipconfidence and risk orientation relationships discussed in the Literature Review section of thispaper have no known theoretical inconsistencies across the range of engineering majors;however, while we believe that this study’s results should generalize across all engineeringmajors, our dataset does not allow us to empirically validate

insights about a problem space andknowing how to synthesize at just the right level of specificity to be maximally generativewithout becoming swamped by all the challenges of “making it work” [24]. Rather than seekinginsight through a systematic, precise analytic or synthetic framework, designers find insightthrough productive and continuous interplay between analytic and synthetic modes of practice.5. Fail Early, Fail OftenThis mantra is widely expressed across design thinking communities [25]. The premise is thatthere is much to be learned from low-risk failure, and that rather than striving to avoid failure bycareful planning and robust analysis, failing early in the design process will provide quicker,higher density learning so that success

andmanagement—often framing management as the bureaucratic straw man against whichleadership shines. Drawing on the work of Komives [5] and Bass [6], we locate this distinctionin the source of an engineer’s influence and authority. When an individual’s authority is rootedprimarily in organizational structures and is enacted through project planning, budgets, orcompany policies, we characterize it as “positional,” following Komives, or “transactional,”following Bass. When an individual’s influence stems from his or her capacity to motivate andinspire others, and is less clearly derived from organizational policies or structures, wecharacterize it as “process-based,” following Komives, or “transformational,” following Bass.By using the position/process

I think we are also learned a lot about ownership and responsibility. Because the projects are our own we've also grown in our technical communication skills. In any project, especially when there is a language barrier, you have to be very clear about your ideas and plans.

They developed lesson plans, prepared pre- and post-assessments forstudent learning, wrote a report on the process they used to design their system and how thesystem works, and reflected on their own engineering design learning experience. Throughoutthe professional development, participants worked either collaboratively, independently, or a mixof both as they completed the design challenge. While participants received the same explicitinstruction and had the same requirements (i.e., consistent activities and assignments), theirexperience differed in the amount of interaction they had with other teachers and theundergraduate student

It also has started thediscussion of where additional library collaboration earlier in the mechanical engineeringprogram would be appropriate and beneficial.

. Part of the grade is assigned based on the relative performance of the team’s solution compared to the best team. Because performance is measured in several categories, the team that is best in one category may not be in another. The demonstration periods provide key points for groups to observe and reflect.Our interest in experimentation and prototyping has been motivated both by our anecdotalobservations of many senior design teams and advice from industrial contacts. In the seniordesign process, students often attempt to build a final product without adequately planning forsubsystem interactions, non-ideal component behavior, verification of engineering assumptions,and other aspects where prototyping and design iterations

Most of the students had a good reason for not having developed coding skills, and onceidentified, I could give those students the extra attention they needed since they also agreed thatthey had a deficiency.
