In revisiting these experiences with a focus on leadership, students cannewly recognize that these experiences are helping them develop leadership skills.    To facilitate reflection on leadership, students in the two featured courses are introduced to the“leadership competencies” identified by Seemiller4 including ethics, analysis, conflictnegotiation, communication, providing/receiving feedback, problem solving, decision making,and personal contributions to effectiveness of group. Promoting familiarity with these leadershipcompetencies is intended to provide students with a vocabulary to articulate their leadershipabilities, and a lens with which to reflect on their past

Most projects are sponsored by local industries or motivated by the needs of thedepartment or a faculty member. Since 2003, UST has tried to offer at least one of its senior designprojects to consider the needs of material-resource poor people at the base of the economicpyramid.

By its nature,PBL-structured case studies promote learning at the cutting edge of a discipline and thus are well-suited to the emerging NSNT field.A central premise in using the case study technique is that the process of learning is just asimportant as the content [12]. In general, students work cooperatively during case studies to answerchallenging questions or to evaluate complex ethical issues. For PBL-structured case studies,students are expected to investigate and learn necessary content in order to understand the contextof a case. This requires

And, if nosuch liberal intercourse be established, it is the common failing of human nature, to beengrossed with petty views and interests to underrate the importance of all in which we arenot concerned, and to carry our partial notions, into cases where they are inapplicable to act,in short, as so many unconnected units, displacing and repelling one another.”7Since there is a need for ethics to be built into the design then users should be in a position tocomment on the design for which they will also need to be

One-time activities such as campus tours, city orientation, lab safety training, library methods, and research compliance introduction. • Weekly research seminars. These were held at a regularly scheduled time such as Thursdays from 9:00-10:30 a.m. so that everyone could plan to fit them into their summer schedules. Seminars have included research ethics, research topics across STEM and non-STEM disciplines, collaboration, applying to graduate school, research-related careers, and much more. • Networking
