research interests include electrokinetics, predominantly di- electrophoretic characterizations of cells, and the development of biomedical microdevices. She earned a NSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within her Medical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development of Desktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach activi- ties in area schools (see www.mderl.org). Adrienne is currently co-Chair of ASEE’s Diversity Committee and PIC I Chair; she has previously served on WIED, ChED, and NEE leadership teams and contributed to 37 ASEE conference proceedings articles.Prof. Beena

the university experience is to enable students to transition from a life athome to an independent life as a young adult. Some research suggests that these are the mostformative years of a young adult’s life, where the choices, relationships, and careers paths thatone establishes has a “defining” impact on future life outcomes such as happiness, and earningpotential 6. Elements of the college experience can serve as an enabling role in this developmentprocess; experiences that challenge students to become aware of who they have been and whothey can become in life. As students become more aware of these core issues, they can becomemore active in the development of their current and future goals and aspirations.The National Academy of

CourseLearning Concept Maps and Team Reflections reveal the students’ perspective on what mayhave supported making the connections and which approaches were less effective. In looking atthese course concept maps, for example, similar shared concepts are represented as on the SMELConcept Maps at the beginning of the course – communication (5 occurrences), teamwork (3),and leadership (3). One important, new concept also emerges, however – career connections.All 5 groups represent ties to careers on the final course concept map. These connectionssuggest that considering social media, engineering and leadership in the context of future goalsand of defined careers adds a specific

This paper will present three simulation scenarios that the group has testedand will share the experiences encountered by participating students as well as the faculty andstaff organizers.IntroductionTraditional undergraduate engineering programs offer students little in the way of leadershiptraining. They also offer students little exposure to complex real-world problems. Yet, thegeneral expectation is that one day our students will be able to lead the way in solving complexproblems.At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, we seek out ways to provide our students withexposure to real world problems
