He consults with universities and companies on their leadership development of human resources for six sigma and project manage- ment teams. He is the Director of SIUC’s Leadership Development Program and the former Editor of the ASQ’s Quality Management Forum. He is a Fellow with the American Society for Quality
. and at Bell Labs. He specialized in starting new projects, and in reviewing such projects. All of these software development projects involved some associated social change. At Rose-Hulman he has been involved in starting the bachelor’s and master’s programs in software engineering.Dr. Kay C Dee, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Kay C Dee received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, and M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After completing her graduate work, Kay C joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and later joined the faculty at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

study were drawn from a National Science Foundation funded project entitled thePrototype to Production: Conditions and Processes for Educating the Engineer of 2020 (EEC-0550608) that sought to benchmark undergraduate engineering vis-à-vis its progress towarddeveloping the National Academy’s vision for the engineers of 2020. The study collected datafrom engineering undergraduates and alumni (three years post-graduation), faculty members,program chairs, and associate deans in a nationally representative sample of 31 colleges anduniversities (see Table 1). Education and engineering researchers developed the survey-basedinstruments for each of these populations through a two-year process. Literature reviews resultedin a survey bank of over 1,000

also be focused upon reaching veterans. Approximately 3.4percent of Indiana community college students are identified as military or veteran students withapproximately 2.3 percent of the total student population benefiting from VA educationalbenefits. The project team will distribute materials to the Indiana Department of VeteransAffairs, which includes logistics careers as part of the new Veterans Retraining AssistancePrograms (VRAP), approved in 2012.22 The VRAP program focuses on training veterans througheducational benefits for programs in high demand careers. In collaboration with the VRAPveterans will be able to take a pathway from military skills to the Certificate through AS / AASdegrees to BS degrees at the university
of Alabama, and a Ph.D. in Leadership and Policy Studies from Peabody College of Vanderbilt Univer- sity. Her teaching interests relate to the professional development of graduate engineering students and to leadership, policy, and change in STEM education. Primary research projects explore the preparation of graduate students for diverse careers and the development of reliable and valid engineering education assessment tools.

Team-Member EvaluationsIntroductionFrom experience it seems that most students (and people) see the great value of open and honestconstructive criticism, but have rarely had opportunities in which they felt safe to provide it. Inthe procedure which was carried out for this study, students were instructed on how to provideeffective feedback, as well as given opportunities to give and receive feedback to theirteammates on a group project. This provided them with experiences which increased their self-awareness, as well as taught them how to communicate more effectively. Ideally, this will helpthem to be more prepared for working on teams in their future careers.The purpose of this inquiry was to investigate the effects of non-anonymity upon
-class students. The LSU peermentors represent all majors within the College of Engineering and are a diverse group, with30% female and 20% minority students. Peer mentors are more likely to sign up forinterdisciplinary projects within the college; they provide service to the community throughoutreach activities; and they act as liaisons between the college and industry representatives,many of which who are recent graduates of the peer mentor program3. With the growth of thefreshmen and transition programs and the peer mentor program, a hierarchal leadership structurewas implemented in 2010. The effectiveness of this program was further enhanced by thefounding of a student organization, Society of Peer Mentors (SPM), to help with interviewing
