Implementation of P-20 initiatives requires not only leaders but team players. The key tobeing able to lead is to be surrounded by those who can function on a team. Lencioni (2002)notes that team dysfunctions can be identified as a pyramid at the top labeled with the inattentionto results and descending due to lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, the avoidanceof conflict and lack of trust as the makeup of the dysfunctional pyramid. The ideal team playershould be humble, hungry and smart (Lencioni, 2016). A P-20 leader must be able to identifythese traits in others and cultivate these individuals so that improvements to P-20 can beimplemented. P-20 educators need to instill leadership capacity in P-20 students throughpractice, research and

These authors and others formulated objectives for IABs which include advocacy,recruitment and placement, support for research, curriculum review, fundraising and similargoals. Research studies have attempted to evaluate how effectively institutions and IABs aremeeting these objectives. Much of the previous work has focused on Engineering programs. This study extends the research of IABs into engineering technology (ET) education.

The roboticmanufacturing system supports various applications of digital manufacturing by integrating bothtraditional subtractive manufacturing approaches and emerging additive manufacturing ones(e.g., 3D printing) in a novel way. Such a multi‐ functional robotic manufacturing system makesit a perfect platform for students not only to creatively learn and apply all kinds of existingmanufacturing technologies, but also to actively explore new and better solutions formanufacturing problems in their team‐ based interdisciplinary undergraduate research.

Statics,Dynamics and Thermodynamics are the target courses. Statics is a gateway course foundationalto the rest of the program, Dynamics is taken right after Statics, and Thermodynamics is one ofthe most challenging senior level courses. These courses are serving as the avenues formeasuring the effectiveness of using active learning techniques. The specific techniques we areimplementing are: in-class experiments, just-in-time teaching, team quizzes, and students asteachers. On a broader impact, the ALERT initiative will be the launch

educational improvement initiatives, however, thecollege discovered in 2013 that they had a problem in their ability to meet employer demandswithin the local manufacturing sector. Whereas one employer needed one or two people withelectrical skills, another employer needed one or two people with knowledge of fluid powersystems. Still others needed blueprint reading, machine tool skills, knowledge of industrialmotors, understanding of process control techniques, robotics and automation abilities, or a widevariety of other skill sets. Given that Bay College supports a student population of only about1,700 during the typical fall semester and has a similarly limited set of financial resourcesavailable, creating a separate academic program to address each

lower engagement with the discipline andless interaction with faculty and student organizations.There is little investigation of students who leave engineering and pursue degrees in ET. Theleaky pipeline to STEM professions is well known by researchers. However, the reasons studentsleave are less universal. Research on faculty perceptions of student persistence in STEM studiesshow study habits, commitment to educational goals, and family support as primary influencingfactors [1], but other researchers report that the main reasons students depart from engineeringand STEM fields are non-academic [2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, George-Jackson [4] reports that not allstudents who leave engineering leave STEM, and calls upon researchers to learn more

MXET curriculum was and will continue to betailored to real-world needs and entry-level job opportunities. Finally, the costs associated with thenew program in terms of equipment and faculty positions were reasonable and manageable. The MXET program was initially limited to accepting 25 students in each of the first twosemester of operation; a goal that was easily achieved. Based on the enrollment growth needs of theCollege of Engineering’s 25x25 initiative, this quota was raised for the second year to 50 studentsper semester which also appears to be achievable based on acceptable applications that have beenreceived prior to the start of the Fall 2017 semester.

These remaining faculty were exposed to aseries of individual and team exploration exercises intended strengthen the bond among theparticipants. The initial design of two distinct learning experiences emerged in the spring of2014. Their purpose was to examine real-world open-ended problems from different lenses. A“Seminar” experience would address the problem from a cultural and societal lens while a“Design Studio” experience would examine the problem from a science and technologyperspective.

The rapid growth of robotics and automation, especially during the last fewyears, its current positive impact and future projections for impact on the United States economyare very promising. Even by conservative estimates1, the number of robots used in industry in theUnited States has almost doubled in recent years.

These are 1) strategic approach, 2) humanasset approach, 3) expertise approach, 4) box approach and 5) change approach. They go on toargue that it is important to focus on the approach with consistency and not every seniormanagement team can adapt to all five approaches. During a 2001 forum they stated in theframework for understanding leadership that some CEOs try as they might simply do not lead.In their research they stumbled on an answer to a question that they did not anticipate which isthat even though they try some CEOs do not lead at all.

Thecompletion of these tasks involves the production of calculations, structural models, and thedrafting of building drawings. Most of the design work utilizes and expands upon the student’sprevious coursework. However, portions of the building project often require a designmethodology that the students are initially unfamiliar with (elevator pit design, handrail design,etc.). In turn, students must research how to utilize their basic principles to complete that part ofthe design. The students typically find this both challenging and rewarding.

The bridge collapsed, millions of dollars were lost, and transportation in thecommunity was crippled for a decade.There is a second failure related to the bridge collapse: the initial forensic investigation in 1943(Othmar, Kármán, & Woodruff, 1941). That report concluded, “The Tacoma Narrows Bridgewas well designed and built to resist safely all static forces, including wind.” Clearly this initialforensic analysis was contradicted by even the most cursory review of the evidence. In sharpcontrast to that 1943 report, a more recent analysis, by ASCE, provides deeper insight (ACSE,n.d.): “The structure failed dramatically in a rather
