engineeringstudent engagement in out-of-class activities can help guide actions of program administratorsand educators to restructure and promote activities to improve engagement and enhance studentlearning both inside and outside of the classroom. In this section, we introduce the BuildingUndergraduate Interventions for Learning and Development (BUILD) Model, a framework. TheBUILD model is based on existing frameworks, models, and effective practices for the design oflearning environments and interventions in out-of-class activities. Prior research has provided thenecessary insight into specific elements of learning environment[45], institutional elements [46],and best practices [47,48] that can be combined to create a comprehensive framework useful

Prior research has shown that educators use heuristics, models, andframeworks1–5, as they design their courses. Although prior work has contributed to ourunderstanding the practices expert instructional designers use to develop new instructionalmaterials, this work is often not based on authentic course design or redesign

designed to provide global competency to students so that claimsabout the success of educational practices might be evaluated [1] in [11]. This study contributesto the body of knowledge on how to and what prepares engineering students to be ready for theglobal job market and society they will face once they graduate by understanding how studentscome to appreciate cultural differences to interact effectively with different others in the contextof a global engineering course. This research supports the lifelong learning concept and ways todevelop the five competencies rated most important by the industry, which includes appreciatingand respecting cultural differences, collaborating and working on a multicultural team, using
students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development.

Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering students’ identity devel- opment.

Dr. Bodnar’s research interests relate to the incorporation of active learn- ing techniques in undergraduate classes as well as integration of innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum. In particular, she is interested in the impact that these tools can have on student perception of the classroom environment, motivation and learning outcomes. She obtained her certifica- tion as a Training and Development Professional (CTDP) from the Canadian Society for Training and Development (CSTD) in 2010, providing her with a solid background in instructional design, facilitation and

However, as with the 4S and theCIS, the critical vision scale is also science oriented, and thus administering a modified versionof the scale would likely find much stronger results.LimitationsThese results confirm that the 4S does not function poorly for Engineering/Technology, but thedeflated effect sizes indicate that a more refined measure of engineering identity and engineeringcareer intentions are still needed. The age of the data (collected in 2010) and the focus on sciencestudents are also drawbacks of using the current data in this analysis

This redesign has beenthose iterative steps of identifying new problems with the delivery and implementation, doingmore research, finding many creative options for improvement, working as a team to pilot andevaluate each, and repeating the process.

Program AssessmentOne of our programmatic concerns was to develop pedagogical practices that were best suited tothe needs of students we aimed to attract. In order to monitor the impact of our efforts, wedesigned surveys and conducted focus groups to gather students’ feedback about the courses andthe ACBSS program in general. In this section, we briefly report assessment results including(1) surveys completed by ENGR 120 students at the end the of Fall 2016 and 2017 semesters, (2)focus group results conducted by an external evaluator for ENGR 121 in Spring 2017, and (3)focus group results for ENGR 122 in Fall 2017.In addition to

(i.e., searching for the heroic leader [6]). Recent work by Goleman [7]described knowledge of self, and its companion, self-control, as two of the four domains thatmake up Emotional Intelligence.While emotional intelligence also deals with social awareness and relationship management,other researchers have developed approaches specifically focused on how the leader connects tofollowers and motivates them to do their best. These approaches include leader-memberexchange [8], situational leadership [9], resonant leadership [10], servant leadership [11],transformational leadership [12], and path-goal [13].In leadership literature, leading a cause is a process defined by the technical requirements of aproject as well as the political (regulatory
