We conclude the paper by identifying practical andtheoretical implications for engineering educators, student life professionals, engineering deansand student engagement researchers.Context: Engineering leadership education reformNorth American faculties of engineering have been encouraged by national academies andaccreditation boards to integrate leadership development into their programing since the mid2000s 1-6. The US-based National Academy of Engineering (NAE) published a call for educationreform in 2004—The Engineer of 2020, which encouraged engineering educators to complementtheir strong technical curricula with professional skills development 4.

The proposed approach treats the entire class as a team while ensuring that all students participate in the problem-solving exercise. This approach addresses three key compo- nents that are known to be effective techniques in teaching and learning: 1) student engagement, 2) affective pedagogy, and 3) class

This paper will describe the implementation of this hybrid GE/senior project course and will present the assessment of the first year of this program’s implementation. Introduction In January 2013, the California State University Board of Trustees mandated that, unless excepted, undergraduate degree programs, including engineering degrees, be limited to 120 units. Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and

A recent trend in the engineeringhiring process is the inclusion of team-building games used to analyze engineering candidates forprofessional skills. Current methods of evaluating candidates, such as behavioral interviews, aresubjected to bias, with evaluators scoring candidates based on broad and inconsistent definitionsof traits, and their own perceptions of how well candidates demonstrate these traits [2].

The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of teaching function onengineering students’ design synthesis abilities. Two studies are being performed as a part ofthis project: (1) a longitudinal study following students through their sophomore, junior, andsenior year following some being taught functional modeling, while others not, and (2) a yearlystudy looking at capstone project quality of students from

Engineering Education, 2016Curiosities Regarding Exam Review Sessions at LSU’s College of EngineeringIntroduction As enrollment increases at Louisiana State University (LSU), it becomes morechallenging for students to be actively engaged with their professors and in their own learningprocesses. The larger class sizes and reduction in state funding contribute to a poorer learningenvironment (1, 2). This struggle is compounded in sophomore level courses, where many studentsconsider dropping out of their respective engineering programs (3). In 2014, the authors publisheda paper discussing how these barriers can be somewhat alleviated by offering peer led activelearning sessions through Supplemental Instruction (SI) (4). The authors found that
