American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 How Do Human Interaction Labs Contribute to Engineering Leadership Development?AbstractThis paper outlines the impact of a small group experiential learning course (Human InteractionLab) that cultivates authentic engagement between participants. Unlike many experientiallearning environments, this course is fundamentally learner-centered, where students designateboth the content of discussion and the norms that dictate

It was different from other capstone projects at the time as itprovided students with real problems rather than ones invented by professors but was still keptin-house so that the intellectual experience could be overseen [1].

least an “Understanding” level of skill. Subsequent courses wouldbuild on that level through more advanced experiential learning activities, including working inteams, participation in student organizations, and internships. Interwoven throughout will beopportunities for students to use their skills in coaching others in a leadership laboratory setting.The result was a much more cohesive and synchronized course structure that captured the bestaspects of the prior curriculum while streamlining the flow through elimination of redundancy. Asix-course structure was created consisting of eleven credit hours of academic work. A non-creditinternship was retained, and the RIPE specialization and project management courses were added.To make it easy for
. Also, though insightwas gained into engineering leadership styles, it is unknown to what extent these styles compareto those employed in other disciplines. In order to improve upon this study, a larger sample ofengineers as well as individuals in additional disciplines could be considered. Using aquantitative approach, established leadership assessment tools could be used to determinedifferences in leadership behaviors across disciplines. This comparative approach may serve tofurther enhance the understanding of leadership within an engineering context.References[1] Hartmann, B. & Jahren, C. (2015).

Consequently, the originalCyberAmbassadors curriculum incorporates activities, examples and exercises that are centeredin the context of exploratory research. This type of research is generally found in academicsettings, such as research universities and non-profit institutions, as well as in government-funded laboratories. Designing the curriculum to reflect the language and positions common tothese settings (e.g., investigator, research group, graduate student, postdoc) is an important partof the constructivist and sociocultural pedagogy embraced by the CyberAmbassadors project[7]–[9]. In this approach, learning takes place most effectively in contexts that are familiar andrelevant

The entire living-learning environment is structured toprovide cadets with leadership opportunities and help them relate their experiences to personaldevelopment as leaders and future officers in the Army. Military and civilian faculty at WestPoint have a unique opportunity to develop students in their respective disciplines whileimmersed in a leadership laboratory. This dynamic may be opposite from the experiences offaculty at more traditional institutions where leadership is taught within a discipline-specificenvironment.The
