we share some of the quotes we heard from the students: “I am still very cognizant of my accent. I always fear that I make grammatical mistakes as I talk. Like very often I make the mistake of using a plural verb for a singular noun. It’s hard. It doesn’t come naturally to me. I know it might be a small mistake, but I have that in my mind all the time. When I talk, I constantly remind myself to check my verbs - did I use that little ‘s’ at the end of the verb or not?. I fear what if I don’t get it correct during the presentations. Are reviewers going to doubt my capabilities? I am more confident in front of my advisor or others who believe I know my work and I am good at it. But when it comes
engineers is fundamentally an identity development process,the framework for this project combined Lave and Wenger’s communities of practice model tounderstand development of an engineering identity with Komives, et al.’s Leadership IdentityDevelopment Model for understanding how engineering students cultivate a self-concept as aleader. Overall, findings helped reveal how the components of engineering identity andleadership identity converge in the development of an engineering leadership identity amongundergraduate students.IntroductionThere are many reasons that developing leadership skills in undergraduate engineering studentsis important. Chief among these is that many of the greatest challenges facing society today, suchas the NAE Grand

Figure 1 showshow the two self-learning techniques are encapsulated within AI technology implementation, asdescribed by IBM. With the help of hi-powered computers, these algorithmic self-trainingtechnologies can process large amounts of data and recognize patterns. Adoption of these willresult in a new set of Tools Techniques and Procedures (TTPs)s for better PM performance wellbeyond what is currently being used. Figure 1. AI and its Encapsulated Self-Learning MethodsWell known and widely used implementation of AI is IBM’s Watson, Apple’s Siri, and Google’sAssistant.

and 12th grade science and math (2) and the majority of these areboys. While boys are socialized to continue in high school math, evenif they may dislike it, because they know it will be required for a jobthey know they will need, girls are socialized to consider math unfemi-nine, unnecessary and too difficult. Unfortunately they are often sup-ported in this attitude, not only by their peers, but also by theirparents, teachers and counselors.The organizers wish to encourage these girls to think about their fu-ture, not necessarily in terms of a specific occupation, but in termsof today s statistics (3): 1More than half the women in this country are in the workforce.Women work an average of 25 years.80% of working women are employed in
account the limited experiences of many of the students. The objectives of such acourse are typically to increase the students understanding of what engineering is, provide somebackground knowledge and experiences that will serve as a foundation for the material they willlearn over the next 4 years, and to encourage the student s interested in the field of engineering.Typically the culmination of these classes takes the form of a design project. The format of thedesign projects can vary, and this paper will discuss two very different formats that the authorhas used thus far in the Introduction to Civil Engineering course at the University of MinnesotaDuluth (UMD). A brief description of each project will be provided, as well as a discussion ofthe

In experimental sections, the majority of team tasks were broken down and assigned,whereas in the control sections this was left up to the team. It is possible that students in controlsections were more aware of each other’s work because task assignments required ongoingnegotiation throughout the quarter. Alternatively, control teams who divided tasks throughout thequarter according to teammates’ perceived strengths may have felt able to assess teammates’contributions by referencing the perceived quality of the deliverable(s) for which each teammatewas primarily responsible.To gain additional insight, we isolated
