engineering projects, and they need to be able to communicate thoseexperiences [13].The work of Larsson, et, al. indicated that certain leadership styles are best suited for certain typesof engineering projects, depending largely upon the project duration. For example, they found that“Integrators,” whose tendency is to ensure that the team works well on an interpersonal level, tendto be best suited for complex projects that require timely completion. Their results suggest thatdiscovery of a leadership style that is effective for the projects that we do in our courses may leadus to develop a leadership curriculum that teaches leadership in that style to achieve better courseoutcomes [14]. In this work we hope to solve this question in the inverse

- wall beams showing integral tip plate for attaching cross-bar or optical target.2.4 Unsymmetrical section beamsWhen the loading axis system for a beam is not aligned with an axis of symmetry of the crosssection or if the section has no symmetry axis, the bending behavior becomes more complex dueto the appearance of a non-zero sectional cross-bending stiffness in the governing differentialequations as well as in the equation for the bending stress developed in response to the appliedbending moments. Such situations are generally referred to as “bending of beams withunsymmetric sections” and these configurations are avoided whenever possible. However, theyare difficult to avoid when designing thin-wall section

Further examples show that technical ability, such as high mathematicalachievement, predict higher retention in engineering majors [10]. Other institutional and societalfactors also play an important role, especially for the retention of female students [9].Thesefindings indicate the importance of developing skills before entering post-secondary education.For developing aptitudes in areas such as computer science, computer engineering, and softwareengineering, several countries have mandated computer science in their K-12 curriculum [11].Given this, we anticipate that the most vital delivery of digital skills in an engineering educationcontext happens before students graduate

Accelerated technology development is one macro-level factor that contributes tocivil engineers requiring agile technical skills (e.g., related to infrastructure, automation, virtualcollaboration, information access, and big data). Although technical knowledge is traditionallythe foundation of civil engineering education, the workforce also needs professional skills suchas leadership, teamwork, ethical reasoning, disciplinary boundary crossing, and communicationto be competitive and successful in the civil engineering profession [28]. With an agingworkforce and high turnover [12], it is imperative to integrate these non-technical competenciesin academic and professional curricula for current and future generations of engineers.

This is unfortunate since theinfrastructure required for online education has been primary developed by engineers.The perceived obstacles in widespread integration of online courses in engineering curriculumscan be divided into two categories: physical obstacles and cultural obstacles. A major physicalbarrier is how to provide hands-on trainings, which traditionally take place in laboratories andmachine shops, in an online setting. However, this may not be a major problem since, contrary towhat one may expect, the data shows that online education is primary “local”.
