Interruptions to meetings should be minimized by prior planning and by instructions to participantsand associates regarding the importance of the non-interrupted flow of the meeting. Wherever possible,allow no interruptions except for a clear emergency. Hold messages for delivery at coffee breaks and lunchtime. Holding the meeting outside of and away from normal operating facilities will help minimize externalinterruptions. The meeting leader controls the meeting. He/she should state early on the objective(s) of themeeting. The meeting leader should keep the meeting on track with the agenda. He/she should resist“hidden agenda” ploys.

overall impact of such activities the MVCS club participated in is hard toquantify, but student feedback and graduation statistics show there has been some effect.On student surveys, a majority indicated that these activities had increased their interestin pursuing science or engineering fields after they graduated from high school. Manysaid just participating in such endeavors had at least made them aware of what thesefields were all about. As far as actually influencing students to go into college majors inthe science, math and engineering (S, M & E) areas, the following table shows on howmany of the student participants entered university programs after their graduation fromhigh school.Graduation data from MVCS over 10 years showing number

, theprograms available to students clearly developed the skills and knowledge necessary for venturecreation. There seemed to be a gap between the cultivation of skills and knowledge for newventure creation and the engagement of students in actual new venture creation.Looking more broadly, this phenomenon does not seem to be limited to the University ofVirginia. According to data, the number of entrepreneurship programs offered at institutions ofhigher education has been skyrocketing since the 1970’s [1–3]. However, there has beeninsufficient evidence to support that an increase in traditional curricular entrepreneurshipeducation leads to an increase in venture creation [4,5].

Some studies found no significant differences between groups who had labexperiences verses groups that did not.

disappeared from most American high schools in favor of moretheoretical “college preparatory” subjects. Multiple internal factors within schools contributed tothe near-extinction of shop including 1) cost to maintain workshops, 2) liability concerns, 3)focus on exam-driven standards-based testing, and 4) curricular changes for admissionsalignment with four-year colleges. Compounding external pressures to phase out high schoolvocational programs stem from historical, social, political, and academic sources acting since the1940’s heyday of Industrial Arts: 1) ongoing social stigma devaluing vocational training in favorof more “academic” fields; 2) lack of qualified Industrial Arts teachers with no training pipeline;and 3) mandated state and federal

With such clear goals for the proficiency analyses, many of the beststudents over prepared for these problems, at the expense of the higher-order skill set. Studentsmay need coaching on how to balance their preparation and how to develop the higher orderskills.Works Cited[1] B. S.

The puzzle(s) within each room were specifically designed to align with the studentlearning outcomes of each module and to test a broad range of concepts within each imagingmodality. After reviewing the game rules and starting the countdown timer, the students chose aroom from a drop-down menu. An image of the “room” was then displayed within the MATLABGUI. As is customary in escape rooms, students had to identify both the question being askedand the answer to that question in order to determine the “secret code” (consisting of three lettersor numbers) required to escape the room. When the students solved the final room puzzle, theprogram immediately stopped and computed the time it took each team to escape. Two hints anda

The leadership role confidence and risk orientation measures presented in this sectionwere designed based on the literature, tested in advance with a smaller sample of 99 respondents,and then refined based on pilot test respondent feedback about clarity. We believe this approachaligns with this paper’s scope of testing unifying hypotheses that support and generalize uponprior findings.In conceptualizing a leadership confidence variable, we utilize a “role confidence” approachsimilar to Cech et al.’s measurement of confidence toward achieving professional outcomes [40].We designed our measure as a means of differentiating among students who felt they were
