Engineering outreach by undergraduatestudents takes different forms but can include leading summer camps, teaching afterschoolprograms, conducting classroom presentations, and hosting engineering fairs and competitionson colleges campuses. The focus of evaluation efforts for K-12 outreach programs is typically

significant differences in perceivedabilities at either the course outset or end of the course across the control and experimentalsections. In experimental sections, the majority of team tasks were broken down and assigned,whereas in the control sections this was left up to the team. It is possible that students in controlsections were more aware of each other’s work because task assignments required ongoingnegotiation throughout the quarter. Alternatively, control teams who divided tasks throughout thequarter according to teammates’ perceived strengths may have felt able to assess teammates’contributions by referencing the perceived quality of the deliverable(s) for which each teammatewas primarily responsible.To gain additional insight, we isolated

Fruchter and Emery [17] defined the learning of students in cross-disciplinary teams in four phases: island of knowledge, awareness, appreciation, andunderstanding. Ilgen et al.

In addition,learning from the most knowledgeable and well-performing member(s) in the team increasedwith the difficulty level of assigned tasks. The literature on the

The periodic trainingwill be one training session per week for the “experimental” section, and it will be comparedwith the “control” section. The student's feedback pointed out that more training sessions couldhelp to improve the approach to achieve the targeted tolerance dimensions.

Once the user enters the speed, the car starts moving. 2. The car follows a 2.5cm-wide black line on a white surface. 3. If there is an obstacle on the way, the car stops, goes around the obstacle, and continues its path.In addition to these features, students should be able to control the car manually from their phoneor their computer.

other words, the experience of relationality and ethical concern are ontologically priorto defining engineering’s role in a given moment. Returning to one of our recent publications [1],I would argue that we first feel and experience what is going on before we can reflectively thinkabout such experience. We feel and experience relationships with all that we encounter in a givenevent, and we are affected by those encounters. Responsibilities, obligations, and valuations arisetherefrom. In being affected by the multiplicity within an encounter, there is significant potentialfor conflict and difficulties associated with assigning/identifying value(s). Once the experienceoccurs, we objectify it, mine it for information, and seek to address it

The document in the meantime has been updated threetimes to date and will be an ongoing reminder to vary questions, to think about creative ways tohave students think about the material from different angles, to find parallels in their own lives,and to apply historical examples to current situations. Students are free to consult their neighborsand their phones but at the end of class have to hand in a small chit with their answer(s) to theTAs for the course. The revised taxonomy combines the pyramid most of us are familiar with

, cultures, and personalities ofeach team or organization member confound effective decision-making and lead to personal andprofessional conflict. This means that the technical leader must consider the problem(s) in lightof both the individuals involved and the engineering or scientific challenges. Unfortunately,academic training does not build awareness of such issues, and therefore does not equip studentsor postdoctoral scholars with tools to address these situations.Technical degree programs focus on technical competency, continuous learning, passion forengineering and science, and ability to identify significant problems. Aptitude in these areas isessential but not sufficient for success in technical leadership. Effective leaders also must
