Engineering leadership programs are also noting the importance ofincorporating self-awareness into program curriculum or training programs27-28. In a study todetermine behavioral frameworks for highly effective technical executives in NASA, self-awareness emerged as an integral part of the relational competency category29. The importanceof self-awareness demonstrated in these studies is evidence of the need to ensure leadershipdevelopment interventions intended to build self-awareness are incorporated into engineeringleadership development programs26. Further, effective interventions should include

. 44.In our cross-college undergraduate course aimed at open ideation and creative inquiry, we workwith student groups that include engineering, science, design, and humanities majors. Toincrease creative practice, we focus on identifying and addressing uncertainty avoidancebehaviors, which are often high in engineering students,8 and using design thinking strategies tosupport students’ ability to continue working throughout the loosely structured curriculum. Inthese settings, it is critical to provide students with the permission they need to exploreambiguous spaces, and to offer support and guidance on how to overcome perceived failure9.

What, exactly, had these students’ experiences with engineers been? By developing somebaseline for what an engineer is, and what students’ interactions with engineers and engineeringhas been, we can extrapolate some ideas for implementing engineering literacy into a curriculum. Common understandings of engineers and engineering often begin with stereotypes.5,6Students, when asked about their experiences with engineers and engineering, brought severalstereotypes as their basis for examining those experiences.

In an effort to improvemultidisciplinary design, faculty from 3 engineering departments at UCSB met over the courseof an academic quarter to discuss a more integrated multidisciplinary capstone design programfor seniors. One complicating factor was departmental pressure to maintain the discipline-specific integrity of the engineering experience throughout the student body. Anothercomplicating factor included the disparity between course units and timelines created by eachdiscipline. In response to these challenges, we have created a supplementary multidisciplinarycapstone course (SMCC) to be coupled to the existing

Many education-funded projects are undertaken at a local level, such as within oneinstitution, within a curriculum, or even at the level of a single course. While the activities may be at alocal level, i.e. within one institution, there are many interacting components that can influence orimpact the advancement of an educational innovation.
