there are numerous books devoted to some aspect of negotiation (e.g.1-6), little is found inthe literature concerning negotiation in the academic setting. One article focuses on thenegotiating strategies and tactics deemed useful by a dean as he worked with faculty on a day-to-day basis; in this article the author, a dean for eight years, reports on successful strategies heused (where and when to negotiate with faculty, and more).7 To help provide examples ofnegotiation in the academic setting, a panel discussion was organized, held June, 2016 in NewOrleans by the Women in Engineering Division of the American Society for EngineeringEducation. This paper contains material presented during the panel discussion which wasfocused on negotiation as

These “new boxes” strategies directly addressed the challenges discussed above relatedto credentialing, as well as some ownership and institutional culture issues. “We came up with the idea to…rather than using existing programs that Mankato already had, we would create a new engineering program, a general engineering degree. And I think that was less threatening to the Mankato faculty because…I don’t think they worried as much that it would jeopardize their accreditation. And there were enough faculty at Mankato who were kind of interested in this idea and were kind of willing to participate that if it was this separate program, they

Although there has been progress on developing engineering undergraduates’leadership skills during their college years, faculty members have encountered many challenges5.One of the challenges includes ways to incorporate leadership development into engineeringcourses. This paper describes a leadership course which used case studies to develop engineeringstudents’ leadership skills.Usually written in narrative forms, a case study is a situation or issue that includes facts andopinions that contribute to the decisions made by involved people6. In the engineering educationcontext, case studies can help convey the complexity and ambiguity of the practical world,develop students’ positive attitudes towards

In order to achieve that goal,Mavericks were given the opportunity to also teach the course.

called Real Colors,11 which like the MBTI requires trained administrators. It is true that the assessments do not pin down values, but they often allow an individual to consider their own preferences and begin to question their underlying values and the congruency of their values to behaviors. There are many more similar assessment tools, and they should be administered as early in the semester or new-hire process as possible. One of the classroom topics here can be conflict resolution and contract negotiations among dissimilar personality types. 5. Modeling the desired behaviors means using the faculty member as a both educator and model for values congruency. The faculty member, and later the
