a formula for engineering programs, even those that do not exist withina large-scale effort like an ERC, to implement the tenet of BBC. In contrast to CC, which 14proposed specific educational experiences for students, BBC includes recommendations forbroader, programmatic changes to engineering education programs. The first principle is Lead through Persuasion and Trust. Any successful organizationalchange requires strong leadership commitment and careful communication16. Before requiring anew level of collaboration, university leaders must role-model BBC themselves through theirown partnerships, and communicate the goals of this type of collaboration to all in a way thatfosters trust

engineers, on average, are more likely to prioritize collaborative projects over autonomous technical problem solving exercises, faculties of engineering interested in improving their retention of women and collaboratively oriented men might achieve this goal, in part, by increasing their provision of high quality teamwork opportunities. This educational innovation is likely to be wide reaching as novice engineers of both sexes in our sample tended to accord high value to teamwork. 3) Since the majority of survey participants did not recognize the importance of organizational skills until they had accrued some workplace experience, it is important for us as engineering educators to infuse relevant organizational

the greatest challenges facing society today require technical solutions that can only becreated through collaboration within interdisciplinary teams.1 For these collaborations toeffectively harness the capabilities of groups that may not normally work together, effectivetechnical leadership must be deployed. Thus, the need for engineering leadership (EL).As evident by the development and growth of the Engineering Leadership Development Division(LEAD) within the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), recognition of the needto develop engineers with greater leadership skills is gaining momentum. However, observationsduring LEAD’s sessions at ASEE’s 2015 Annual Conference & Exposition seemed to indicatethat faculty engaged in

By operating in project-basedscenarios and with Making concepts students can develop the skills of setting goals andprioritizing actions, like a director. In traditional engineering education students do not havemany opportunities to apply their knowledge in solving new problems28.
