Briggs Personality Type Inventory. While these two tools provide students with useful insights about their personalities, behaviours and habits of mind, our findings suggest that engineering educators who use these tools with their students would be well advised to discuss them as temporally-contextualized orientations rather than immutable categories. If they can critically examine these two typologies and expose students to multiple ways of influencing, supporting and relating to their colleagues, the next generation of engineers will learn the value and practice of flexibility while opening themselves to qualitatively diverse forms of professional development. 2) If it proves to be the case that female

With this in mind, three scholars who were in theirthird year had their scholarships extended until graduation, and this was based on their academicperformance and funds available as a result only six of the ten new scholarships were awarded in2012-2013.The engineering majors represented by this cohort were chemical, civil, electrical, mechanicaland petroleum, and they entered LSU as transfer students in the fall 2010 or spring 2011semester. The scholars’ academic performance at selection (i.e. at the end of the spring 2011semester) was on average well above the scholarship criteria, and demographics indicate that theprogram attracted

Further, as it is just not possible for teachers to transfer knowledge into learners’brains, the students need to do the work required to learn. Thus, course innovations can bedesigned not only to help students develop metacognitive skills (e.g., previewing, summarizing,paraphrasing, note-taking), empowering them as active partners in their learning, but also toprovide students with the opportunity to do the work required to learn.12In response, recent innovations to the course not only increase the emphasis on active studentlearning but also provide students with opportunities that encourage them to think of themselvesas engineers by
