, alongside a significant proportion of assertive members who promoted teamcohesion and connection instead of personality conflicts. The team received an 87% rating forefficacy, with approximately 94% of team members attributing assertiveness-related qualities(confidence, decisiveness, and open communication) to the team’s success, as opposed topersonality conflicts and incompatibility. The implementation of the conceptual framework ofthis study will be beneficial when supervising other extensive STEM educational initiatives.AcknowledgementThis study is part of the work supported by the National Science Foundation Grant # 1915615,titled “Adapting an Experiment-centric Teaching Approach to Increase Student Achievementin Multiple STEM Disciplines.” It

Often, foreign colleges do not offer thesame level of ET rigor, putting students at risk of falling behind and not graduating on time. Thispaper proposes one approach to planning and creating student opportunity. It begins

They are also looking for their education experience to respond to the changingdemographics of their peer students and to provide an opportunity to share perspectives on howtechnology is changing organizations’ environments that must be dealt with by thoseorganizations’ technical executives. While in 2015, the simple answer was “NO”, we recognizedthe need to give working professional students a glimpse into those leadership roles. And wehave continued to evolve our Executive Technical Leadership course by unifying technicalleadership fundamentals into an applied experience, internalizing engineering managementcoursework with a real-life technical leadership scenario that is applicable across industries.A typical graduate level course

, individual interviews, focus groups with faculty and capstone clients, and follow-upinterviews with graduated students. An examination of skills and perceived benefits post-graduation would be helpful to understand which topics/content area may need differentemphasis. Additionally, these findings can help inform the development of similar andcomplementary courses. For example, as a model for other universities to help undergraduatestudents acquire and develop interpersonal, professional, and non-technical skills required forearly workplace success. Finally, future research should explore leadership and managementcurriculum and coursework across all U.S. engineering schools for continuous improvement andlearning.AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank
