Stagl et al. 15 summarizecurrent work in team leadership research and find that “the totality of research supports thisassertion; team leadership is critical to achieving both affective and behaviorally based teamoutcomes” (p. 172). Hill 16, supports this position in her team leadership chapter. In thedevelopment of their integrative team effectiveness framework, Salas et al.17 assert that leadershipplays a central role over the lifespan of the team, claiming that despite the complexities of teamleadership, “most would agree that team leaders and the leadership processes that they enact areessential to promoting team performance, adaptation, and effectiveness.”17 Additionally, Salas etal.17 assert that team leaders play an essential role due to

Cooper and Alley (2011) states that many people spendmore than 20 hours per day on average in an indoor setting. Since the course is the only airpollution course offered in the our curriculum, the aim of this assignment was to broaden thestudents’ knowledge of other environmental engineering focus areas while supporting theprogram’s major concepts and themes, as well as the ABET

Thewriting was of their personal reactions to the books and an account of interviews theywere required to initiate and sustain throughout the semester with students of mechanicaland aerospace engineering in the three years ahead of them as well as with facultymembers in the department. These interviews were designed to help the students get toknow the people in the department, perhaps to find mentors, and to familiarizethemselves with the curriculum that lies ahead for them. The interviews help to dispelfears by breaking down barriers of the unknown.The
University of Arkansas (U of A). Prior to Spring2022, there were no courses within the chemical engineering curriculum that counted toward theuniversity-level minor in Sustainability at the U of A. This meant that students minoring inSustainability were required to take additional courses outside the chemical engineeringdepartment and potentially add to their required degree credit hours.Once it was determined that a sustainability course would be developed, an initial review ofchemical engineering programs revealed that that there were not many broad-based Introductionto Sustainability courses that presented the principles of sustainability across all three pillars—environmental, social, and economic—in a chemical engineering context. In addition
, an integrated approach examining structural, institutional, and actorcontextual factors with the view of gradual change, provides a powerful analyticalframework to fill such research gap. Based on an analytical review of policy documentsand scholarly research since the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949,this paper aims to investigate the structural and institutional factors that facilitate thepolicy shift to NEE in China’s HEE, and the intertwined relationships among thesefactors. The results of this research depicted the big picture of path evolution concerningthe policy shift to NEE in China’s HEE, thus contributing to the current gap in literatureregarding HEE in China as a socio-historical phenomenon.Keywords: New
goals. For example,Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Program established an integrated curriculumprogram to develop leadership characteristics and skills among engineering studentsthrough a cooperation with MIT Sloan Business School [6]. Royal Academy ofEngineering in the U.K. involves engineering students in leadership training by settingup Engineering Leadership Standard/Advanced Award programs [7]. The EngineeringLeadership Development Minor (ELDM) at Penn State University requires engineeringstudents to complete a minor degree through taking related leadership classes andobtaining corresponding credits [8]. Engineering leadership has been increasingly considered as a key aspect forengineers’ training [9]. Multiple definitions can be
feedback is necessary to help students further develop these skills and ithas been suggested such feedback is best when situated in the context of authentic engineeringtasks 3. We hypothesize that in such a context, students are more likely to take up feedback onprofessional skills because these skills will be viewed as an integral part of what an engineerdoes. There are two parts to providing students with feedback on these skills: (a) we first musthave a firm understanding of what it means to have professional skills in engineering, and (b) weneed to know how to effectively provide students with feedback on these skills.The case study described in this paper focuses on discourse as students receive feedback whilethey engage in an industrially

The UGO staff discovered that students often did not follow up with ODOS (which was always part of our advice), or if they did, subsequent follow-up with the UGO or ODOS was lacking. Students struggled to manage and act on the on-going conversations across the UGO and ODOS offices, especially when they are in a Page 26.1049.4 compromised state due to their circumstances. • ODOS was not near the engineering precinct. The ODOS offices are centrally located on

coaster project allows students to investigate and creatively apply their analytic skillsto an ambiguous, real-world problem that they are highly motivated to explore. It both reinforcesthe underlying curriculum and also helps students develop intellectually, as the project isdesigned to teach that dynamics isn’t so much about looking for the “right answer” as it is aboutchoices and simplifications made in modeling reality.Although roller coaster design projects have been used as the basis for entire undergraduatecourses and also in STEM activities for pre-college students, the author is unaware of a similarproject being included as part of a first course in dynamics. For this project, students in teams ofthree were tasked with designing
as the thinning of the herd; students areconvinced to leave engineering programs because they cannot manage the academic workload.Attrition studies have concluded that most students that choose not to remain in engineering aredoing well academically and have GPAs similar to those students who stay in engineeringcourses [2,3]. These studies refer to outdated curriculum and a misunderstanding of howstudents prefer to learn [4, 5, 6].Project-based team learning is an essential practice used to modernize engineering curricula andhas been shown as a decisive factor in retention of students in STEM fields [1].

The ability to increase performance ingroups across all prior programming experiences, especially groups with low prior programmingexperiences is an important step to increasing the graduation rate of underrepresented groupswithin computing majors.Online modality of teachingThe coronavirus pandemic that hit the globe in 2020, required all our first year engineeringcourses in our school to be offered online. Prior to the fall 2020 semester, none of our first yearcourses had online offerings, and none of the instructors teaching first year engineering courseshad any experience with online teaching, or incorporating active learning components into thecourse curriculum. This added another dimension

And so you can't afford all the fancy clips […] so you use hot glue or basically anything so that you can loop around the budget. And then […] lecturer […] takes one look and says 'I don't like this […] because it is not professional'.”In other transcripts, this approach to engineering was manifest in the curriculum structure orindividual assessment pieces and led to negative student perceptions of an instructor as a personwho “has all these little fiddly things he likes to stick to, this nice little protocol he likes.Everything's gotta fit into the box.” (Hasslam)During their time in industry, the students experienced a more flexible and pragmatic
Nature of Thermodynamics Learning ProblemsIt is critical to understand and to correctly frame problems associated with thermodynamicslearning and teaching. It is also essential to identify the root causes of these problems. Doingthis can form a foundation for eradicating these problems, and can guide curriculum and Page 23.1280.11textbook design. It also can inform and positively influence new instructional strategies.Close scrutiny of the literature outlined above reveals that in addition to conceptual difficulties,students have difficulty integrating concepts and principles and recognizing their relevance insolving problems.10,15,22,32,47,66
