This strategy is aimed at both educational institutions and industry. Its intent would be to provide “best practice” leadership development programs that attract high talent women and prepare them to be authentic leaders, true to their own voices and passions, and taking a strong role in shaping their futures. More and more Universities and Engineering Professional Organizations are investing in women

Appendix A shows the five principles that are important while a course is designed,developed and assessed. Appendix B shows the matrix generated by the author for conducting assessment. Inthis particular case, the author chose to assess the subject matter of Industrial Engineering.The author decided that there were 16 important traits that need to be assessed.

We contend that it is importantfor engineering students to understand how engineering design affects society and howsociety may affect how we as engineers do design.The remaining ABET program outcomes call for a foundation of knowledge thatfacilitate, enable and essentially support the practice of engineering design. Theseinclude an ability to; (a) apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering,(b) design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (k) use thetechniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

Notwithstanding faculty reports of increased curricular emphasis onunderstanding the organizational, cultural, and environmental contexts and constraints ofengineering practice, design, and research, a 2006 study reported that 48 percent of engineeringemployers found recent graduates to be inadequately prepared in these areas [9]. Efforts toremedy this deficiency have identified a number of approaches for integrating contextualcompetence into the curriculum.

Complementary experiences, such as professionaldevelopment workshops, that are coupled with STOMP may accelerate these positive results.Further studies that investigate how to best prepare teachers for teaching engineering content inthe classroom will be an important accompaniment to this one. Further study of STOMP and itsimpact on student learning is also important for a more complete understanding of the program.Longitudinal data on STOMP and how individual teachers change over the course of theirenrollment in the program will also give a better idea of how the program impacts teachers.Bibliography1.

Forexample, most people are motivated to develop products that will have an impact on herself,himself, or someone they love. For example, a team of women designing cars think about wherethe in-car light is located, and for childcare and safety reasons, situate it near the floor instead ofits common location in the dome of the car4.

A minimum level ofscholarship is expected in the performance of research in all engineering disciplines.
