In order to address this concern manyuniversities across the country have implemented formal graduate teaching assistanttraining programs since 1980’s.7 - 10 Most of these training implemented are at theinstitution level and the program is generalized to include all disciplines.11 As a result thefocus of such programs are mainly on procedural issues (e.g., sexual harassment,diversity, campus resources, etc

Both graduate and undergraduate students, faculty, private consultants, andpublic servants are provided with the opportunity to learn from each other during this weeklyone-hour seminar. The establishment and overview of the seminar series are discussed along with thedevelopment of guidelines for student attendance. Involvement of faculty, students, andprofessionals was evaluated. Attendance at each seminar is a function of topic(s), presenter(s),and time commitment conflict (schedule conflicts with other classes or faculty sabbatical).Based on data from the Spring 2010 and Fall 2010 semesters, faculty attended 41 percent of theseminars, and students attended 43 percent of the seminars.

This means that the technical leader must consider the problem(s) in lightof both the individuals involved and the engineering or scientific challenges. Unfortunately,academic training does not build awareness of such issues, and therefore does not equip studentsor postdoctoral scholars with tools to address these situations.Technical degree programs focus on technical competency, continuous learning, passion forengineering and science, and ability to identify significant problems. Aptitude in these areas isessential but not sufficient for success in technical leadership. Effective leaders also must

Also identify articles written at a proficient, intermediate, or novice level. (2) In concert with your student(s), review the articles. In each article section, identify the traits or characteristics that are definitive of this genre (e.g., across articles, what does each

throughout the academic cycle. “...students frequently question their identity, relationships, direction and worth during transition to school which produces turmoil and crisis. Stress of relocation, separation from family and friends, new people, academic challenges, discrepancy between expectations and reality, loneliness, and lack of support all significantly relate to attrition” (Lee, D., Olson, E. A., Locke, B. Michelson S. T. & Odes E, 2009, p. 5).Students past the initial transition face stressors related to making progress in research orprojects, successfully completing academic milestones, and job hunting. Even the most resilientstudents can be negatively impacted by these stressors. In the worst case

BackgroundRegardless of race or ethnicity, engineering education began to see a decline in enrollmentbeginning in the early 1990’s. To address this concern, among others, ABET adopted theEngineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), which introduced a new paradigm in engineeringeducation.1 The new paradigms in engineering education went beyond the need to keep studentson the cutting edge of technology, but required students to have interpersonal skills, beinquisitive and innovative, and most importantly, possess inter
