The paper will present the process throughwhich each student’s vocabulary is developed and reinforced and the tools that supporttransitions and compensate for missing facets in the team decision process are described.Why “Engineering as Leader”“Effective leadership addresses problems that require people to move from a familiar butinadequate equilibrium – through disequilibrium – to a more adequate equilibrium”1. All leadersmust be able to formulate and communicate a vision that moves others to act.How does the engineer as leader differ from other leaders? In addition to what is required forleadership in organizations, leaders in the engineering process must address: • Design – a creative

However, given the short amount of time allotted, students in the course (400+) dogenerally achieve a sufficient level of technical literacy in a very short time (one week), but thereis much room for improvement. Going forward, the authors expect that developing a taxonomyand formalism will lead to improved teacher efficiency and student computer literacy.1.

Table 1 shows that the percentage of Next General Review (NGR), InterimReports (IR), Interim Visits (IV), Show Cause (SC) and Not to Accredit (NA) ratings forprograms in the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) has remained fairly constant overthis period. The NGR rating is the six year accreditation that every program wishes to attain andhas remained in the 65% - 75% range despite programs getting better and more sophisticated intheir processes. These statistics reflect the results after the due process phase is complete. TheNGR percentage is much lower prior to this taking place and the
