Finally, the last category suggested by the developers in the framework isEffectiveness. As Legitimacy focused on the fairness and ethical aspect of the project in regardsto societal needs, Effectiveness of transdisciplinary will determine how the research will make apositive change in its context.Unlike Rubrics 1 and 2, this paper only presents a framework and a prototype rubric. The valuein the proposed Transdisciplinary Quality framework is that it can be used to determine whetheror not the selected project is meeting its research goal.

I have seen these experiences pay off outside of CEDC, and I already know that the leadership skills I have acquired will continue to make a positive impact on my future. Leadership in CEDC has been a huge contributor to my development as a leader. It forced me to take ownership of a project and be a driving force within it. This sense of ownership is key to taking on more responsibilities.DiscussionUnlike typical students in the CEDC program, CEDC interns not only have an objectively higherlevel of responsibility for the ethical considerations and successful execution of projects but alsodevelop the aptitude to lead a team of

There are many definitions of leadership and lists of skills, knowledge, and abilitiesexpected of leaders.

goal was to prepare graduates forengineering practice by equipping them with contextual (also sometimes called “professional”)skills. These calls for reform resulted in the EC2000 accreditation criteria, which require, amongother things, that graduates demonstrate the ability to integrate “realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability” into the design process, including the development of new products. This ability,in turn, rests on other abilities including an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; anability to define and solve problems; an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility;an ability to communicate effectively; the
