argued that technical competence and leadership alone are not keys to project successoutcomes; team dynamics and personality composition are other indicators that synergisticallyaffect project outcomes. This paper explores the effective management of a large educationalSTEM program that includes multi-departmental projects by harmonizing team dynamics andpersonality strengths. In this study, the team members’ personalities were assessed using animpartial personality evaluation tool that employs the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).This study further examines the team’s dynamics under the spectrum of the members’perspectives, exploring how the team utilizes personality traits and team dynamics to effectivelyadminister a sizable STEM program

The ABET outcomes encompass critical technical and non-technical skills forcollege students, ranging from the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, andengineering to the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams [4]. The implementation of 3ABET criteria has led to statistically significant improvement in “awareness of societal andglobal issues…group skills… and awareness of issues relating to ethics and professionalism”while maintaining and even improving students’ understanding of the foundations

Seven student outcomes under Criterion 3 are annuallyassessed to ensure the program’s educational objectives are supported, and graduates are ready topractice engineering. The ‘regular use of appropriate, documented process for assessing andevaluating student outcome attainment’ thus influences continuous improvement actions acrossthe program or within individual courses [2]. The West Point EM program has evolved in themix of direct and indirect, internal, and external assessment tools to evaluate outcomeachievement, and the data feeding the assessment was assembled from multiple internalspreadsheets, USMA knowledge management survey platforms, and EM program-level feedbacktools

This follows a global trend in rapidgrowth of consulting in general, fueled by globalization, the externalization of work fromdownsizing of internal resources, and the intensification of knowledge-work [8], [11], [12].Today, globally, the engineering services market is a 1.6 trillion US dollar industry [13].
