The students who brought up other issues in their assignmentswere given individual feedback that addressed their content of their homework more directly.IV. QualityOne of our concerns was that students would take advantage of the mass-grading and turn in poorquality work weekly. To combat this, the TAs would first hand-grade the assignments, so theycould monitor the quality of student work

fromthose that were based on leadership as a process [13]. The former is based on traditional notionsof a leader as an individual with power and authority based on their position within anorganization or society. It was exactly this notion of leadership that was associated with theresistance encountered in our earlier studies. The latter, leadership as a process, has beenarticulated by many scholars, but we chose to use Northouse’s simple definition of leadership as“a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”(p.3) [13]. We also use Rottmann et al.’s orientations to engineering leadership: Technicalmastery - “shar[ing] their technical problem solving skills with others through informalmentorship” (p. 7

At one meeting, theengineering leadership debuted a new voice activated software program that would give verbalcommands to the forklift operator as s/he completed tasks. This was particularly designed tosolve the problems of pallet composition. As one engineer explained, simply providing operatorswith a list of products to be placed on each pallet had left them with too much control, and theoperators had begun to assemble

A few checks revealed plagiarism and going into detailrevealed even more. 22 After contacting the S¨uddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), one of the importantGerman daily newspapers, the SZ published the story asking zu Guttenberg to comment theaccusation. His statement, which was a full denial, was part of the article which started the affair.A few days later the online platform Guttenplag Wiki was published, inviting the community toparticipate via swarm intelligence to search for more instances of plagiarism. 10 The results of 45days of searching is given in the two following pictures (see timestamp of 03 April 2011).

, consumer sports equipment industriesbecause of their high strength-to-weight and high modulus-to-weight ratios. Fiber-reinforcedcomposites are generally classified into two broad categories: long fiber-reinforced composites(fiber length-to-diameter ratio between 200 to 500) and short fiber-reinforced composites (fiberlength-to-diameter ratio of between 20-60). The former is usually formed by embedding long,unidirectional fibers or woven cloth in a polymer matrix; while the latter by the dispersion of shortfibers in a polymer matrix. The major fibers that are widely used are E-glass, S-glass, carbon,graphite, and aramid fibers; whereas common matrices range from polyester, vinyl ester, to epoxyresin. Long fiber-reinforced composites have been the
teaching assistant (UGTA). The first group of 1/3 of the studentswas instructed in how to use the Sigma-Aldrich website to find pertinent information aboutglucose oxidase. Another 1/3 of the students were instructed by a UGTA in how to calculate therate of an enzymatic reaction and how to convert a mol/s value of electrons generated by areaction to Amperes. The third UGTA instructed the final 1/3 of students in how to read a basicresearch paper methods section and how to find the seminal research paper describing how toimmobilize glucose oxidase enzymes on an electrode. This assignment was taught in previoussemesters as an individual learning experience and was not a jigsaw exercise and, in thoseprevious classes, students had been instructed in

Shortly into this process, it became apparent that a U.S. coursetaught at the CUJAE would be the best next step in evolving this desired program. Co-authorWilliamson was brought into the discussions in 2014 to help in growing the program andspecifically to help in course and assessment planning. In 2014 a general planning and “get-toknow each other” meeting was held at CUJAE and involved all of the above academic units.

demographics and trends in the labor market continue to remain an unwaveringissue. Currently, there is a demand in the U.S. to produce qualified students, both at the K-12 andpostsecondary levels with suitable STEM transferable skills and a knack for scientificexploration and innovation through engineering design to aid in the growth and enrichment ofthe U.S.’s economy. In 2004, the National Science Foundation noted that half of the economicgrowth within the U.S. over the past 50+ years is credited to the scientific innovation of theSTEM workforce, which represents a minute 5% of the overall U.S. workforce.1 In order to strengthen the K-12 STEM pipeline and workforce, investments in outreachand student development are continually being
