Their findings challenge the dominantperceptions of leadership in the literature which are based on “assumptions of coherence,integration, context and direction” (p.13). Instead, the researchers found fragmentation betweenthe manager’s leadership ideas and practice, with noticeable differences between espousedleadership meanings and their actual use in practice [8].

CircuitsIntroductionAt the University of Idaho, an intermediate circuits course is required before students can takejunior-level classes. However, most community colleges only offer a first course in circuits, sotransfer students are immediately behind in their academic progression. One way to address thisis to develop an online lecture course with a suite of labs that a student can perform beforecoming to the university, say over the summer, so that the student can be on-track for graduation.In addition, as the number of online courses grows, these labs can be used by students whocannot come to campus.In our curriculum, the intermediate electrical engineering lecture and laboratory course beginswith sinusoidal sources, then introduces the students to steady

students would use the learning from the intercultural assignments to work better inthe binational teams and therefore be more effective in the project.One working hypothesis for the class was that the combination of these components wouldincrease students’ intercultural maturity and make them engineers who are better prepared for theglobal market. An important aspect of this course is that it is integrated into the engineeringcurriculum. A common issue with global competency courses is that they add extra courses tothe students’ curriculum. Therefore, demanding additional time and effort from the students whowish to develop those global competency skills.
