. Joe earned his bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, his master’s in Mechanical Engineering (minor Electrical Engineering) from Iowa State University, and his MBA and PhD in Systems Engineering both from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020Work-in-progress abstract: Identifying Effective Student Leaders to Improve Capstone Design Team AssignmentsAbstractEngineers in industry are required to work in teams to accomplish large goals. Similarly,engineering students often work in teams in course projects cornerstone through capstone. Thestakes of capstone design projects are often high as teams work

accreditationrequirements [7], engineering programs will be working to determine how to incorporateleadership concepts into their curriculum. Experiences that allow students to develop their skillsrelated to self-awareness, teamwork, project management, team development, and mentoring areessential to building leadership abilities and confidence [10]. These types of skills can also belinked to experiences students have through courses, such as capstone design [11].The theoretical framework used in this study to explore participant-reported leadership behaviorsin the context of working with a team is the Competing Values Framework (CVF). The CVFoutlines four different leadership orientations or behaviors: Collaborate, Create, Control, andCompete [12]. Figure 1 shows

She managed and was a key contributor to a two-year pilot project to introduce Blended Learning into Engineering Capstone De- sign Courses, and is a co-author with John M. Shaw on a number of recent journal, book, and conference contributions on engineering design education.Dr. John M. Shaw John M. Shaw obtained his B.A.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering and his Ph.D. in Metallurgy and Ma- terial Science at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, in 1981 and 1985 respectively. In 1985, he joined the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry at the University

Senior capstone class representation directly corresponds with total graduating classrepresentation in all cases except one: at Penn State University, senior year mechanicalengineering students are given the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary capstone projectshoused in a differing department (e.g., other than mechanical engineering) and about half do so.The students sampled from Penn State are those mechanical engineering seniors completing theircapstone project in their home department.The choice to sample entirely mechanical engineering students during their senior year wasdriven primarily by the larger study that

the study of the skeletal response to mechanical loading. As a Mechanical Engineer, she worked on facility design projects involving mechanical systems that included heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and energy conservation systems, as well as R&D of air conditioning equipment for Navy ships. Additional research interests have included the investigation of relationships among components of the indoor environment, occupants, and energy usage. Specifically, the effects of the indoor environment on occupant health and well-being and in parallel, how socially-mediated energy-saving strategies can increase awareness of energy use and/or in- crease energy saving behaviors. Dr. Lang’s current research interests

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the
