Students who were accepted, would be a part of a cohort of students who met witha lead instructor weekly, with the program being run as a 1-credit course. Additional instructorsfrom the student life side were also available to help facilitate activities, and connect students toco-curricular and extra-curricular aspects of college life. The present paper will describe some ofthe programming and assignments of this pilot program, and discuss some of the relatedstrengths, weaknesses, challenges, and successes. A primary focus of the programming was tohelp students

In a few cases, (e.g., [21])there is a deeper treatment, but the focus is on technology or the engineered system and less onunderstanding and optimizing the function of social system. An important exception to thistheme has been explored in Engineers Without Borders as will be explained later in this paper. We suggest that the ability of engineers to think in systems terms promotes their leadershipskills in team and organizational settings. Better development of this thread is likely to providesubstantial benefits in engineering leadership development. Such an approach can complementand augment the prevalent initiatives for

US Air Force Academy, COAbstractThe United States Air Force Academy in Colorado is an undergraduate institution whose missionis to “educate, train, and inspire men and women to become leaders of character, motivated tolead the United States Air Force in service to our nation.” The employer of the institution’sgraduates desires well-rounded graduates with a more-homogeneous education than would beexpected at an otherwise similar university. As such, the institution prescribes a large generaleducation (or

Cunningham has previously served as director of en- gineering education research at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Educational Outreach, where her work focused on integrating engineering with science, technology, and math in professional devel- opment for K-12 teachers. She also directed the Women’s Experiences in College Engineering (WECE) project, the first national, longitudinal, large-scale study of the factors that support young women pursu- ing engineering degrees.
