confidence without conceit. They have a firm handshake, look people inthe eye, address colleagues by name, take pride in their appearance, speak up instead ofmumbling, etc.”“I want the students to show full confidence to look me in the eye and tell me where theirinterests are, definitive answers are always best.” Leadership research reveals a positive relationship in a leader’s self-confidence andsuccessful leadership34. These findings also align with Hartman et. al.’s (2015) study whereindustry professionals identified initiative/confidence as a main competence for entry-levelengineering leaders. The authors define the initiative/confidence theme as “stepping up, goingthe extra step, asking questions, having confidence and/or self-confidence

corresponds to an air velocity of roughly 30 m/s. With the leaky connections, theerrant dynamic pressure and velocity measured about 6 mm of water and 10 m/s, respectively.Thus, their digital measurement device appeared in every way to be working properly, but if thestudents took the effort to convert their pressure measurement to a velocity measurement, theymay realize that the velocity they were measuring was too low, which admittedly may requiresome amount of intuition that the students probably do not yet have.Because the exercise involves questions of accuracy, the students were also asked to assess theuncertainty in their measurements. Because the fluid density is needed to convert the dynamicpressure measurement into a velocity measurement

civilengineering faculty have sought to develop their program appropriately along a set of commonlyaccepted educational taxonomies; that is, Bloom’s Taxonomy. These widely known taxonomiesare based on the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom.The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning: cognitive, affectiveand psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and hasbeen identified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”3 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows4:  Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious

Students hear from senior graduate students on the challenges, opportunities, andsupport throughout grad studies. Additional topics of discussion include: 1) how to keep a happyand healthy life style, 2) where to get help? and 3) what are the opportunities for leadership orscholarship? The discussions are conducted in round table groups to provide an open format.The second workshop focuses on the supervisory relationship.

The authors illustrate how the frameworkcan be used to explain gender representation differences in engineering.Our intent for this paper is to use professional socialization as a lens to examine the value that anAIDP brings to a students’ engineering identity formation, not to provide a full review on thistopic.

The obdurate habit of over-specification cansimply manifest itself in different ways—although we ought to consider in the same light TF-3’s ownrecommendation to include within Criterion 3 only those outcomes that can be reliably achieved.11As already alluded to above, what stymies effective solutions in engineering education is hardly limited tothe disciplinary habits and boundaries of engineering; the reasons go back to the structure of U.S.educational institutions and the engineering profession itself. With regards to the latter, engineers shouldstop worrying that theirs is somehow an incomplete profession. Sociologists

theindividual students’ roles. CATME is a short, web-based survey that collects and analyzes self-and peer-evaluation feedback. A behaviorally-anchored rating scale is utilized to assesscontributions of each team member in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature (Ohlandet al., (2012)23. The grade for each team-based component is multiplied by the CATME factor foreach student and that is the score entered for the student. As such, if a student does not pull his/herweight, s/he is penalized by the rest of the team and gets a lower grade than the rest of the teammembers. Conversely, if a student goes above and beyond the norm, s/he is recognized by theteammates and gets a higher grade than the original team score.It should be noted that

Although group orteam-based learning has its advantages, it still has well-known disadvantages. The maindrawback being the student who is not participating may have less effective learning expe-riences as compared to the more gregarious and/or confident students who actually solvethe problem.

of affective learning is an obviousconclusion, rather than the lack of psychomotor learning. When an engineering student gave amathematical explanation on the question of “Explain the non-zero intercept of the shown labgraph” in a lecture-test, he/she was not using critical thinking. For example, in the 9.8 m/s/sverification lab using an object sliding down a tilted air-track, a graph containing acceleration onthe y-axis and sine of the titled angle on the x-axis is expected to have a zero intercept. Astatement like “The explanation of having an uneven table shows critical thinking skill when atechnician presents such data to an engineer” usually would be sufficient to re-activate theaffective learning in an engineering student, not that we
