Challenging students to consider personal values and beliefs about leadership, they areasked to design personal vision statements that will demonstrate their commitment to ongoingtechnical and leadership development. Professional outcomes include technical success, degreeprogram completion, resume development, and resume building. Individual outcomes includecongruence of values and actions.   Assessing the individual learning module, we recommend students write and justify theirpersonal definition of a leader

In the first group meeting, theinstructor asked students to free-write about communities they belong to: What are thosecommunities? What defines them? Who are the members? How does one come to belong? Aftersharing, students discussed initial ideas of what it means to do an engineering project that is“engaged with a community”. Following the initial meeting, students spent two weeks reading (out-of-class) and discussing(in-class) critiques of ETH projects, including references [1], [3], [6], [7].

This project has varied as the curriculum has beendeveloped.

Participants may ask additional information if desired. Participants are asked to bring a summary of the interview in a pre-set format. • Day without Engineers – Participants write a 1-page conceptualization of a day

This reflected the varietyof students and their interests. Using Internet-based education and resources is an excellent wayto generate a wide variety and depth of information and discussion.A more subjective advantage of web-centric learning is the promotion of ‘virtual team’ skills.When assignments required cooperation between students, a level of
