? RQ2: What differences exist among mechanical engineering-centric capstone design teams from civilian and military institutions in shared leadership in terms of 1) the amount of leadership enacted, and 2) the level of leadership distribution within the teams?Review of the LiteratureFormative leadership experiences are critical to the long term development of engineers as futureleaders. Various national level reports have expressed the need for technically minded leaders tohelp shape sustainable, technically sound solutions to the world’s grand challenges (e.g.1; 3). Tohelp develop the next generation of engineering leaders, engineering educators are tasked withimparting a basic understanding of leadership principles for

As a result, it is hoped that the students will determine an effective collaborative learningapproach that informs each others’ areas of interest regarding international developmentsustainability, while building a knowledge base for better understanding the interrelationshipsamong these disciplines to evaluate long-term interactions between an engineered infrastructureand a recipient community.We emphasize that this course is not design-based, such as an Engineering Capstone project, nordoes it teach technical design. Instead, it focuses engineering minds on the non-engineeringinfluences that must be considered to produce a successful, sustainable engineering design for arecipient outside the designers’ own sociocultural experience.Course
Spanish course for first and second-year engineering studentsat URI during the fall 2014 semester. The course is designed for Spanish IEP students in theirfirst years of study as a way to bring global sustainability issues in the concrete context of LatinAmerica to the forefront of their minds as early as possible in their course of study, while alsocreating a unique opportunity for them to link their study of Spanish more directly to theirengineering disciplines. The course will provide students with the chance to use their Spanishskills to explore innovative sustainability initiatives of varying scope and led by a variety ofgroups (from large multinational corporations to local grassroots movements).

The National Board of Accreditation(NBA) accredits engineering programs using the Outcome-Based Education (OBE)framework. This framework has twelve graduate attributes of the ‘Washington Accord’aligned with program outcomes. This paper proposes a systems approach which consists ofinput, transformation and output towards achieving employable skills in engineers. Theprogram outcomes consisting of technical and professional skills are derived from thecompetencies required for the target roles in the industry and the graduates’ attributes.Keeping this in mind, a structured outcome-based curriculum was

These types of engagement, along with manyothers, are key components of students’ education.Previous research on first-generation college students shows that first-generation students acrossall majors engage less than their peers and perceive the college

gauging the impact of efforts to enhance technological literacy and to planning future efforts. This is troubling, since substantial federal as well as private monies and expectations are being invested in such things as curriculum, instructional materials, museum exhibits, and television programming that are meant in part or whole to boost understanding of technological issues. With this problem in mind and with funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council embarked in 2003 on a major study of assessment for technological literacy. The goal of the project was to determine the most viable approach or approaches for assessing technological literacy in

At the start of the course, however, she hadpresented a depiction of the design process as a set of linear steps. Her final representation of herdesign process with the fish feeder challenge showed how she “was jumping from one stage tothe next.” She reflected that by doing this project, she “changed my mind of how the processactually works.

Responsibility: Engineers play a crucial role in creating sustainable solutions for global challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Starting this conversation early prepares them to take on this responsibility. 4. Innovation: By understanding sustainability from the start, students are more likely to innovate and design with a sustainable future in mind, leading to more environmentally- friendly and socially-conscious engineering practices. 5.
