engineeringleadership effort can use this paper to identify potential approaches for their institute.The Need for Leadership Education in EngineeringEngineering colleges are being driven to infuse leadership education into the engineering andcomputer science fields. The need for engineering leaders is being driven by the manychallenges the nation faces (e.g., see the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges2010; http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/). Technology and engineered systems can providesolutions to these challenges. To bring forth these solutions, the nation needs engineeringleaders. Many studies have explored the role of engineers and the need to change theeducational system to produce these engineers. For example, see • The Science and

Most students indicated the reverse engineering activity and the activities using theinstruments as the best things about the workshop.3.2. The Computer-aided Design (CAD) WorkshopThe CAD workshop was to help the girls understand how engineers create designs withthe aid of computers. The goal was to expose them to the technology early enough tohelp them develop interest and confidence in engineering. Upon completion, they wouldhave a basic understanding on how to make engineering drawings and how to createsimple designs using computers.Twenty girls attended the workshop and participated in three

The coursework and projects were intended toemphasize (1) the fundamental engineering physics and chemistry that are important at thesesmall scales; (2) fabrication technologies; (3) design for manufacturing; and (4) testing andanalysis of complete systems. Our group was interested in microscale energy conversion, andover the course of the semester refined our project to look specifically at vibrational energyconversion. In this paper we will review the microsystems and communication coursework thatwas required of all IGERT students, discuss the associated design project, and provide studentbased recommendations that may be used to refine future programs.Coursework:Graduate students accepted into the IGERT program were required to complete

Historically,this approach operates in an open-loop system where teachers pour forth the same contentregardless of student needs. The emergence of student-centered classrooms and outcomesassessment in the last decade has profoundly changed the paradigm for teaching andlearning across higher education1.Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC 2000) adopted by the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET), which instituted requirements for outcomes definition andassessment, created serious confusion among engineering educators2,3.
