John Farr and his colleagues were the first to identify leadership qualities relevant toengineers. These include: big thinker, ethical and courageous, masters of change, risk taker,mission that matters, decision-maker, uses power wisely, team builder and good communicator35, 36 . While this list of competencies was developed with an audience of engineers in mind,Simon Pitts and his colleagues took their list a step further by generating it in collaboration withprofessional engineers working in industry.

It is the authors’ belief that academic courses do not provideexperiences that can be readily applied at the workplace due to the many differences between theacademic and workplace contexts. Providing relevant experiences is a critical aspect of the newpedagogical movement around connected learning such that students are able to make theintellectual leap to directly apply what they have learned in the workplace.3 program objectives and philosophyStevens Institute of Technology is one of several graduate schools in the USA offering Master ofSystems Engineering degrees (as well as Ph.D.s in Systems Engineering).

As adefinitional body of knowledge of what engineering is and who engineers are, the ES came tooccupy this privileged position as part of a historical trajectory that reached its height with thelaunching of Sputnik in 1957 and the heightening of the Cold War. At this time, science andscientism became the gold standards by which engineering education and research were to bemeasured. This championing of the ES corresponded with a diminished emphasis on hands

? Teachers’ lack of expertise in a content area can negatively impact the use of new contentrecommendations in the classroom. From a content perspective, research cautions us thatalthough a superficial understanding of the design process may be acquired rapidly such asreading or memorizing a list of practices, experience using the design phases in isolation and incompletion is necessary to master the process. As Dorst19 stated, “…it only takes an afternoon toexplain one of the design process models to a group of design students. But knowing that modeldoesn’t make these students designers” (p. 5). This means that teachers learning about designquickly and superficially might not be enough to master the process such as to teach it. Onlythrough

Second, there was a lack of alignment in terms of assessment. Passrates varied widely from instructor to instructor, creating a strong sense in the minds of studentsand faculty in other departments that success in calculus was dependent on luck of enrollment:“Who you took” mattered more than “What you learned.” Third, the average pass rates werequite low.
