In the third author’sexperience in running a regional S&E fair, schools with higher poverty rates and fewer schoolresources are less likely to hold school-level fairs at all. When these schools do hold fairs andsend students to the regional competition, the projects are noticeably lower in quality fromstudents who come from better

In fact, research in the field indicates thatteamwork and communication skills – competencies found in the ‘middle’ of the list – are topcompetencies for engineering practice. Additionally, the need to investigate potential clusters ofcompetencies has been emphasized in this research, identified as a gap in both engineering educationand research.Considering the research, and motivated to inform engineering education curricular design andimprovement at the University of Manitoba, an exploratory case study was designed in part toinvestigate how the CEAB graduate

The group size is kept smallto make each student effectively contribute to the project and gain experience in different aspects ofengineering projects. A typical group initially proposes two to three projects by describing the initialthinking in one or two paragraphs along with drawing sketches and their sources cited. Students arefree to select project partners among the project's class. Groups also have the freedom to proposeprojects as long as they are related to their learned knowledge from the curriculum. However, theyneed to be appropriately challenging for the senior level graduating class. Their

In describing the foundation of the practice, Koen [19,p. 10] defines the engineering method as, “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorlyunderstood or uncertain situation within the available resources.” One could succinctly use thewords optimization or innovation in place of the Koen definition. Furthermore, change thecontext or application and this portrayal of the engineering method is equally meaningful to thepractice of leadership!

As analysis of the interview data has begun, severalsocial theories have surfaced that show promise of explaining aspects of this complex system.Among those most germane to our analysis are theories pertaining to professional configurations[4-8]; organizational behavior, scale, and linkages [9-14]; epistemic cultures [15]; the extensionof epistemic practices from one domain (engineering practice) into another (educationalgovernance) [16]; and an overall ethnomethodological framework necessary for a close study ofeducational and institutional reform practices [17-19].Throughout this iterative research design, some of the most interesting phenomena to emerge outof our data include the ways in which practices of
