Engineering Leadership Development

. Also, though insightwas gained into engineering leadership styles, it is unknown to what extent these styles compareto those employed in other disciplines. In order to improve upon this study, a larger sample ofengineers as well as individuals in additional disciplines could be considered. Using aquantitative approach, established leadership assessment tools could be used to determinedifferences in leadership behaviors across disciplines. This comparative approach may serve tofurther enhance the understanding of leadership within an engineering context.References[1] Hartmann, B. & Jahren, C. (2015).

Finally, students were required to attend 3 events outside of class timethat would contribute to their major discernment.

Under the detailed guidance, the undergraduate students were able toestablish a solid understanding of the 3D printing process, and effect of nanoparticles on theoverall materials’ mechanical properties. In addition, the experience in mechanical testingfollowing ASTM standards emphasized the solid mechanics knowledge the students learned intheir junir year. Three students have participated in the reported undergraduate 3D printing andmaterials testing research.

Additionally, we witnessed a “giving back” philosophy in which freshmanstudents who were recipients of these services became mentors or tutors when they became juniors and seniors. Mentors and tutorswere employed by the project and paid an hourly wage.What also made this program fit into a student-type “learning community” was it was housed within its own facility located on themain campus. This was a large modular unit which became central to all program activities. This unit contained a student computerlaboratory, faculty digital media laboratory, tutoring center, conference room, and student meeting space. It was open to all STEMstudents and faculty.

If students had class, or needed toattend their professor’s office hours or meet with student groups, or utilize laboratory or studiofacilities in their respective colleges, they were able to step out for these engagements and thenreturn. The general idea was to have a central study location that students would study in forthree days straight during the day. They also had vouchers which could be used for lunch. After5:20 pm they could continue their regular evening schedules, which might include studying orcompleting final assignments. This was a mandatory event. On Day 1

At the outset of this project, there were few resources that specifically consideredteaching CT with 5-8-year-old children and fewer clear examples of what it looked like forchildren to engage in CT. However, there were many, sometimes competing, definitions andapproaches to CT more generally. After further review of the literature and some laboratory andclassroom testing with children, the team refined definitions for the following CT competencies:abstraction; algorithms and procedures; automation; data collection; data analysis; datarepresentation; debugging/troubleshooting; problem decomposition; parallelization; simulation;and pattern recognition.

These processes havethe potential to powerfully influence student development [30].

. StereotypeGender and racial bias which affects how we perceive and treat one another is shaped bycultural stereotypes. Despite a decline in explicit or self-reported bias, implicit or unconsciousbias remains widespread [2]. Babcock and Laschever [3] showed that even women themselveshold stereotypes about women and that women undervalue the work that they perform. A studyfound pervasive gender discrimination among science faculty where faculty were more likely tochoose a male candidate over a female candidate for a student science-laboratory position [4].In this case, both male and female scientists offered a higher salary to a male candidate thanthey did to an identical female candidate. Although this particular study was on faculty biasagainst student
