Ahnet al.’s survey contained 45 items specifically designed to measure outcomes in engineeringundergraduate students related to leadership, adaptability to change, and synthesis abilities3.Twenty of these items, principally the ones directly related to leadership, were chosen for theskills questionnaire (e.g. I independently initiate new individual or team projects and Imanage and organize my time efficiently). The participants were asked to rank the extent towhich they embodied each statement on a scale of one to four (1=rarely, 2=sometimes,3=frequently and 4

The Fanning friction factor is still implicitly defined, but can be read off the Moodydiagram.Reducing the volume flow to 𝑞 = 0.1 l/s, we find the flow to be laminar, since we have defined Re= 2100 as the critical value.As a final question, we ask the students to investigate the highest possible temperature of the waterflow in laminar conditions (pipe diameter and flow rate unchanged):We conclude that the temperature can rise to about 8°C before we enter the turbulent (or at least theintermediate) phase.This example clearly show that many problems that are too complicated to solve using pencil andpaper, are within reach

This approach enables us to examine the structure of project teams whilealso examining the institutional and contextual factors that contribute to team climate, and to thedevelopment of group norms that affect team interactions. Structuration accounts for theinfluence of institutional factors such as rules or norms of what is “acceptable” or “appropriate”behavior within a specific social context, while also affording the actors within that contextagency to effect those structural influences.

This finding was corroborated bya separate focus group study (Ferguson D. et al., 2014). We then initiated a modifiedDelphi study with 150 engineering innovators drawn from academic, corporate, andentrepreneurial organizations to examine the complex constructs associated withengineering (Ferguson D, Purzer S, Ohland M, Jablokow K, & Menold J, 2014).
