learning. The outcomes-based approach requires ashift from a teacher centered pedagogical approach to a student-centered approach. Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery. This slow adoption is apparent notwithstandingthe large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of student-centered approaches.This resistance to active learning can also be noted in both engineering educators andengineering students

Creating these new roles introduces a more comprehensive division of labor at the senior technical levels in the real-world.• Contemporary topics: Senior technical executives are constantly being challenged with innovative methodologies, processes, and technologies.

Hopkins University Whiting School’sEngineering Management & Leadership Course Complements Senior DesignIntroduction According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), STEMgraduates must be “prepared with the knowledge, skills and aptitudes to meet workforcedemand” [1]. ABET adopted Engineering Criteria 2000, updated several times since, thatfocused on what students learn rather than what programs teach. The new framework includedskills such as “critical thinking, communication and teamwork” [1]. The guidelines areinfluenced strongly by industry workforce needs as hiring managers turn to ABET-accreditedprograms because they know graduates will have certain skills based on student outcomes” [1].

Initially, the assessment processprimarily emphasized fundamental engineering skills and knowledge. However, with time, therehas been a notable shift towards a more comprehensive approach encompassing broadercompetencies such as leadership, communication, and teamwork. This shift is in response to theinterdisciplinary demands of modern engineering management. ABET has adapted to thischanging landscape by emphasizing outcomes-based assessment more strongly
