In their conclusions, two distinct groups emerge: the first group’s interpretation ofemotional intelligence is strictly parallel to cognitive intelligence and the second group definedEI an all-encompassing value.These distinctions lead to several different definitions of EI.

For example, they found that“Integrators,” whose tendency is to ensure that the team works well on an interpersonal level, tendto be best suited for complex projects that require timely completion. Their results suggest thatdiscovery of a leadership style that is effective for the projects that we do in our courses may leadus to develop a leadership curriculum that teaches leadership in that style to achieve better courseoutcomes [14].

Such situations are generally referred to as “bending of beams withunsymmetric sections” and these configurations are avoided whenever possible.

IntroductionTraditionally, the humanities have played a limited role in STEM education1; yet, there are naturalconnections between the humanities and STEM, which may be used to deepen students’ educationalexperiences2, 3. In the exploration of these links and modes of learning, the Texas Tech University(TTU) Honors College has developed an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates both the artsand the humanities and STEM. Unlike other iterations of this technique, namely STEAM, wherearts are included to help promote more creative problem-solving and innovative thinking, thisapproach uses the arts and humanities as the foundation and impetus for STEM learning. Thisapproach has been coined Humanities-Driven STEM (HDSTEM). HDSTEM provides studentsbenefits that

Accelerated technology development is one macro-level factor that contributes tocivil engineers requiring agile technical skills (e.g., related to infrastructure, automation, virtualcollaboration, information access, and big data). Although technical knowledge is traditionallythe foundation of civil engineering education, the workforce also needs professional skills suchas leadership, teamwork, ethical reasoning, disciplinary boundary crossing, and communicationto be competitive and successful in the civil engineering profession [28]. With an agingworkforce and high turnover [12], it is imperative to integrate these non-technical competenciesin academic and professional curricula for current and future generations of engineers.
