in college● Existing accommodations developed for traditional learning environments 2 The summary of what we are going to talk about today is this: ● Pedagogical approaches within engineering have been shifting. Project-based learning, studio environments, and team projects are increasingly popular in undergraduate engineering programs across the country. ● Many emerging practices are helpful in supporting students with disabilities, such as multi-modal learning, availability of electronic resources (increasingly common with “flipped” classrooms), and assistive technology. ● At the same time, there’s been an

Engineering educators can use these definitions and indicators as areference point for understanding thriving from an ecosystem perspective, informed by complexsystem science. Second, we examine the influence of thriving between levels of the system byconsidering thriving an emergent property of the Meso and Macro levels.

However,while a leader can be appointed or take control of a group on his or her own, informal teamprocesses often can undermine that person’s authority resulting in team members recognizingsomeone else as their leader2. Indeed, the emergence of leadership is often through a complexprocess of role emergence, in which different members are ruled out until a leader becomesevident3. Sometimes groups do not actively choose a leader at all but simply incorporateleadership substitutes, such as standard operating procedures, or follow whomever providesdirection in a given instance.A leader who exerts too much control can cause team members to disengage from the project, asthey may

The main trends are the pursuit of high flexibility, good scalability, and highrobustness of automation systems; the integration of new technologies; and the harmonization ofused technologies in all fields and levels of automation. Of special interest is the integration oftechnologies that were originally developed for the office world into the control area.

New librarians often are coming from adiscipline other than science and engineering. When new program areas emerge, they often needmentoring in terms of collections, research and information needs.IntroductionThe field of librarianship is continuously in the state of flux.
