This is work-in-progress, andpart of a larger project that aims at exploring students’ development of global competencies. Thecurrent paper advances our understanding of boundary crossing that occur within an engineeringdesign team, and it asks: a) what boundaries were encountered in globally situated engineeringdesign projects in a Canadian University and, b) how can these boundaries enable students tomake productive progress in their global leadership skills?Theoretical PerspectivesThe study was guided by three theoretical perspectives namely: 1) Vygotsky’s socialconstructivist perspective allowed for the study of students

With these results, wecould look at the "grade distribution" and set goals for the percentages of A & B grades (i.e. >0.80) versus C, D, and F (< 0.80) that one might desire.In addition to analyzing each survey response, we also analyzed the data resulting from eachquestion individually. We computed the average score for each question and compared the scoresacross universities, and within university programs, comparing control populations with thosewho had a teamwork intervention of some kind.Data Analysis MethodsWe make statistical comparisons using the parametric, two

—those that had a negative, pessimistic culture [13].B. How Does Feeling Happy at Work Impact Engineers? The literature I reviewed on happiness and productivity in general shows a correlationbetween the two. Zelenski, Murphy, and Jenkins’ research on the happy-productive workerthesis found happy workers to be more productive; and that positive affect had a strongrelationship with productivity [4]. Similarly, Oswald, Proto, and Sgroi concluded that happinessmakes people more productive [3]. This conclusion was informed by their research that showedrandomly-selected people a clip from a comedy movie, then measuring their productivity on astandardized task. Their productivity was then compared to the productivity of a control groupwho did

Extra-curricular reinforcement of interest and application ofcurricular learning also tends to support the completion of engineering degrees and thusavailability of potential workforce [4]. Engineering students are more likely to find collegiateand professional successes when leadership skill development is implemented early andrepeatedly during their learning [5, 6].The authors were led to the present effort by (a) the opportunity to address DoD interest in bothleadership and innovation skills, (b) the college’s prior positive experience with peer mentoringand with undergraduate research, and (c) the

research design. Therefore, we find various studiesdemonstrate the importance of teaching research design to engineering students [17],[18].The rationality model is one of the most well-known decision-making models. Therefore, itbecomes necessary to look at it in-depth to understand it better. Below are the fourcomponents of the rationality model of decision-making: a. Intelligence: when to make a decision b. Design: analysing earlier actions, making possible plans c. Choice: choosing the best possible plan based on merit d. Review: assessing past choicesIt is interesting to note that this model is very similar to the four-part structure of 'researchdesign’ which, being central to innovation, is already a part of the engineering
