A stronger understanding of the different perspectives of this termwill help institutions to develop and improve engineering leadership education programs. Theaim of this research project is to answer the following: from the perspective of engineeringstudents, academics, and professionals, what is engineering leadership and what skills arerequired to be a leader in

An experiment was conducted with senior design students through an iterative design-fabrication-redesign-fabrication sequence to enable hands-on experience on desktop-levelmanufacturing equipment. His work strongly asserts the need to include practical training whileincluding design-intensive prototyping courses. During the initial phases, universities do not needto invest in commercial-level equipment, since desktop machines could provide students withuseful insights for basic understanding of processes.
