Post travel individual projects encouraged students to apply appropriateproject management techniques to the development of plans for international projects in eachstudent’s area of interest.IntroductionIn the spring of 2012, a team of four faculty members created, organized, and taught a course inInternational Project Management. This course was created using best practices from fourpreceding study tours. By merging an innovative course delivery method, varied facultyperspectives, a diverse student group, and a stimulating study abroad component, the facultyteam has broadened the perspectives of students in STEM and other curricula, and foreverimpacted students’ views of their roles in the world.The faculty

MERD draft in Figure 1, the final version of the MERD was expanded intoseven parts where the research design and findings box in the draft was split into two separateboxes named “knowledge” and “methods”. This change was made in order to show that a widevariety of knowledge, including both theoretical and practical knowledge, is required forprofessionals to design research methods and eventually solve ME problems. In addition, one ofthe participants mentioned that ME projects do not happen if the economics are not there. Thus,Figure 1. MERD initial draftFigure 2.

design courses deserve a renewed sense of importance as students strive to concludethe academic experience and prepare themselves for transition to professional practice [10, 20,28]. It is an ABET accreditation requirement within AE Programs that graduates have a synthesislevel of knowledge in one of the four traditional AE disciplines (HVAC, Lighting/electrical,Construction, or Structural), with appropriate levels of application and comprehension of the otherthree disciplines [30]. Capstones provide excellent mechanisms for developing new leadersamongst the cohort of graduating students in these areas [26,30].Many researchers such as Dutson et al.

A graduate of Ohio State University (Ph.D., Electrical Engineering), Dr. Jablokow’s teaching and research interests include problem solving, invention, and

Theprofessional outcomes include (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams (f) anunderstanding of professional and ethical responsibility (g) an ability to communicate effectively(h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global,economic, environmental, and societal context (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability toengage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues.In traditional coursework, assignments can be designed to elicit artifacts that can demonstratemastery of desired outcomes.

It is hypothesized that providing such a summary willbring additional coherence to the field, along with practical guidance on good instructiontechniques for identity development. Moreover, it is intended that this research contributes toASEE LEAD strategic goals in Design, as it outlines nine evidence-based practices that may beused in “...designing, implementing, and sustaining EL programs.” Moreover, these practicesmay be used to assess how well existing programs support identity development.DefinitionsWithin the field, the use of the words leader and leadership have not yet coalesced around clear,consistent patterns of usage (see [4] for one example of this ambiguity) [20].

degrees into five or sixyear program?” It is imperative for every college or university to realize that the answer is notaddition of classes that specifically address all these competences. We should be able toaccomplish preparing our graduates for a career in industry if every professor will endeavor toincorporate these industry practices into their courses as they go along. As globalization andrapid technology innovations continue to rise, financial constraints continue to make itincreasingly difficult for colleges and universities to provide all the resources needed cope oraddress these changes and impart the necessary competency.One approach that is being used to address some of these problems is the Problem-based learning(PBL).

In Out of Poverty, Polak details how agrassroots, entrepreneurial approach can help people out of poverty by focusing efforts onunexploited market opportunities through the development of innovative, low-cost tools. Several“win-win” examples are given where locally produced and distributed devices (which providethe builders and distributers an income) allow the purchasers to earn more money through theirown efforts. These examples illustrate to students the impact of engineering solutions in global,societal, environmental, and economic contexts, as called for in ABET EAC Criterion 3h.Finally, there is an intangible asset when working on problems that affect those in need, which isperhaps best expressed through a

allows a gateway to improved learning andbroadening participation as engaging in SoTL requires faculty to think more critically as they adoptand disseminate research-based practices. However, the vast majority of disciplinary engineeringPhD programs (e.g., non-Engineering Education programs) do not prepare graduates for teachingand/or disseminating best teaching practices through the scholarship of teaching and learning(SoTL) [7]. As a result, the limited teaching preparedness of new college and universityengineering educators has the potential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directlyimpacts retention and completion rates [9].Several factors potentially contribute to this problem.

Accordingly, education 4.0 is aboutpreparing students to thrive in a transformative world by exhibiting creativity, innovation, arange of problem-solving skills, people management; being able to coordinate with other people,negotiation and reasoning flexibility [e.g., 6; 7]. High employability for graduates includecreativity, originality and initiative, a range of thinking skills, innovation and originality,technology design and programming, system analysis and evaluation, and judgement anddecision making [e.g., 5; 8; 9; 10].
