„mistaking the edge of the rut for the horizon’. These requirements mustbe viewed in the context of leadership that fits the needs of the 21st Century. The complexities ofplanning and developing strategy in a global economic manufacturing environment have becomemuch more difficult than in the last century. The approach to leadership for this environmentmust keep pace. Internally, leadership must draw on all the skills of every employee to developthe innovative processes and products that meet the challenges of global competitors.Externally, these leaders must change the face of manufacturing to the public, showing thetremendous impact of manufacturing on our quality of life2, and making a career inmanufacturing an attractive option for students

All students stated that they were interested in pursuing a career in engineering. Thestudents were divided into two groups with the first group being the initial pilot run of the data. Inthis first group there were 24 students, in the second group there were 10 students. The groups’demographics were nearly identical to each other. Analysis of the collected data indicated thatproblem-solving skills contribute to metacognitive skills and may develop first in students beforelarger metacognitive constructs of awareness, monitoring, planning, self-checking, and strategyselection.

This inexperience that the students have can be improved byusing the simple methods of VMS.

I was surprisedthat none of the answers to this question were the project’s intent to gain interest in engineering dueto the lack of engineers in society. A possible solution may be as simple as giving examples of someengineering principles and social issues in the question. Another solution may be to integrate othersocietal issues throughout the project. I would like to point out it was not surprising
