Engineering Education (ASEE)among others. In this study, a personal leadership profile instrument was tested that enablesstudents to compare their personalized engineering leadership score with data obtained from aprior study (N=753)1. This establishes a baseline of leadership skills in comparison to one’speers. This paper describes the development of a personalized leadership profile for students thatwould aid them in creating their own leadership plan by comparing their responses with thebaseline. The leadership profile helps to identify areas for improvement and providesrecommendations of relevant courses as a step towards improving upon them. Studentsempowered with the results of their profile could make informed decisions about future

This grading trainingoccurred as part of the annual required TA training sessions. In addition to requiring theattendance of the GTAs and UTAs responsible for grading writing assignments, the faculty ofthe program were also encouraged to attend and participate.

For the final course project, each studentdesigned and created his or her own silk scarf using the techniques learned in class.The scarves created by the students were outstanding and exhibited their willingness totry a new design. For example, one student wanted to create the illusion of a branch ofbamboo growing along the length of his scarf. He planned three different colors: abrown foundation representing the dirt, followed by yellow changing gradually to greenand finally blue. He used Shibori techniques to design the bamboo branch, and usedscraps of silk to determine the combination of mordant and dye to yield the shades hedesired.The students kept the scarves they dyed, so photos of them

Complementary, those studentsneeding the most help might run out of class time to complete the task, and then have tocomplete the task without assistance (which might very well contribute to an increase incheating).
