, or stretch, assignments are critical levers of mobility [1].Organizations and managers curate and allocate these types of assignments informally, usingthem as a means to develop leadership skills, identify people ready for promotion and the “fasttrack”, and build succession plans [2], [3]. Software engineering managers in Tobias Neely etal.’s [1] case flagged that stretch assignments need to have an element of building new skills andcapacities (stretches were routinely described as “getting out of your comfort zone”) and anelement of visibility in the organization and to managers and leaders. Career advancement forthese engineers, in other words, revolved around proving competence in novel areas that hadstrategic importance to the business
members play an integral part in creating organizational change in graduateeducation; thus, their readiness for change can greatly impact the success of the change initiative.Change readiness can be defined as an individual’s or organization’s ability and willingness tosuccessfully undertake and adapt to change [39], [40]. Change readiness has been studied at boththe individual and organizational level [41]. According to Rafferty et al.’s [40]MultilevelFramework of the Antecedents and Consequences of Readiness for Change, individuals areready for organizational change if they believe that 1) change is needed, 2) the individual ororganization can undertake the change, and 3) there will be positive outcomes from the change.Most literature is

, interest, and capability of faculty to teach a course.That said, even when a more diverse instructional team is assigned to teach a course, there arechallenges to be overcome which may prohibit instructors from trying new teaching methods orcourse structures.The first challenge to changing teaching methods and course structures is a two-pronged issue:there is an expectation and momentum towards keeping things the same as years past, as well asthe large amount of work to overturn the traditional teaching methods. In each of the examplesthat were given in this paper, the instructor(s) invested no small amount of effort in revising thecourse(s) to suit their designs. The time and energy required to do these revisions is not alwaysavailable to faculty
strategies must be based in thecontext of these strategies, a one-size-fits-all approach would decontextualize the curriculum andwork against successful incorporation of social impacts into technical courses. Concurrentdevelopment of curriculum and accreditation assessment assignments will decrease overhead forcourse design and improve quality.
