research projects and jobs inthe field (both on campus and off) as being factors in one’s chance of being admitted. Of all ofthese, however, grades seemed to be what most students thought was given the greatest weight inthe decision about their futures in engineering. This is not surprising, given that much of the Page 12.428.9assessments given by advisors relied heavily upon GPA. The other things, like activities played asupporting role. They were things used to bolster or prop up one’s chances, if one’s GPA was notbelieved to be strong enough.The students who were most confident in their chances, like Joe and Renee, talked very little, ifat all

Materials

) Biomaterials Science: AnIntroduction to Materials in Medicine and Dowling’s Mechanics of Materials books wereespecially useful references 28,29. Callister’s Fundamentals of Materials Science andEngineering text also contains a web based supplemental chapter 30 that is helpful as is theUniversity of Cambridge’s on-line Teaching and Learning Package (TLP) on the structure ofbone and implant materials 31. In fact, having the students complete this well-developed andinteractive TLP as a homework assignment or in-class project (if computers are available) is anexcellent way to introduce your students to biomedical materials and design.

Engineering Leadership Development

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the

affordances.My reactions. I enjoyed seeing what the students had chosen, and appreciated having 25readings with which to help them explore the field. I also really enjoyed having the studentscurate the readings and then reading what they choose--this helped me get up to date withreadings in my field and read in areas that are not my personal interest.1b. The student’s story.​ In this section, I (the student) share thoughts I documented about why Ihad chosen the papers that I chose. This reflection highlights my curation process – I mainlypicked papers that piqued my interest based on the subject. I connect the title of one paper to myexperiences as an undergraduate student on a senior capstone team. I connect the subject ofanother paper to my research
