Theobjective is to evaluate the process of students’ self-placement in team roles and the impact ofthese roles on their engagement and perception of success during the project developmentexperience, to investigate how student role placement, rotation and execution contribute to theirdevelopment of leadership and teamwork skills. Results are presented from a mixed methodssurvey and data from three cohorts of students between 2021 and 2023, including questions onthe students’ course goals, role assignments, role rotations, and if their roles affected theirengagement, success, or team’s

The course enlists engineering students' energy, creativity, social conscience, andon-the-ground perspectives in improving the diversity environment. We engage students throughvarious active learning techniques to allow them to practice leadership skills (such as how to bean ally), engage in diverse teams through exploring their peers’ perspectives, and develop a senseof belonging in a safe, inclusive learning environment.While the grant ended in 2013, the College of Engineering has continued to invest in the

The small body of literature addressing engineers’ happiness, specifically,presents opportunities for further empirical studies, especially on engineers in the workplace (asopposed to students studying engineering), in different fields of engineering, and among differentdemographic groups of engineers. Finally, further research could be done to define anddistinguish between terms such as “happiness,” “engagement,” “satisfaction,” and “experience”in the engineering field, as well as more broadly.

mergeddesign thinking, leadership, and engineering into a cohesive origami engineering course.IntroductionTwenty years ago, the National Academy of Engineering published The Engineer of 2020:Visions of Engineering in the New Century [1]. The publication called upon engineeringeducators to develop students’ performance skills, including teamwork competencies, to augmenttheir technical education. Since then, the engineering education community has engaged in avigorous discussion regarding the development of these skills, resulting in various pedagogiesand approaches being developed and tested. In addition to research, universities have installedleadership development programs either in or adjacent to their engineering programs [2].However, this sudden

JLLA views this effort multi-pronged, it provides arealistic opportunity for JLLA members to take on leadership roles on a topic that is important tothem and their community, and they hope to make a difference. Multiple surveys and studies onstudents at the UConn Storrs campus [8] and graduate students in general have been conducted[9,10]. These studies identified several contributing characteristics associated with food insecurity,as well as their impact on students. These studies indicate a need for further assessment andintervention to address the issue of graduate food insecurity

Within the first area, students are expected, by the end of the course, to be ableto describe and create multiple types of system maps and choose appropriate systems mappingtechniques for a given problem or task. The course enables the student to construct systems mapswhich elucidate a complex socio-technical problem, evaluate and provide feedback on mapsconstructed by others, iterate based on research and reflection, and communicate the map withclarity.

For students, the course mayfoster both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for pursuing leadership development goals. The linkto intrinsic motivation is described above. The modest extrinsic motivators—enrollment in aone-credit course and fulfillment of an academic certificate requirement—provide impetus forpursuing the associated activities.
