:  Research Question: How are leadership functions distributed in engineering design teams?Efforts to answer this research question will seek to determine and describe the distribution ofleadership task performance amongst members within design teams. If the distribution ofleadership functions is wide, then it is possible that the practiced behaviors for students can besufficient to meet the learning needs [54]. If there are gaps in the distribution, then educationalinterventions might be deployed to fill these experiential gaps.Survey developmentThe survey instrument must establish the leader – follower or leader – member relationship of therespondent to each team member. This will enable the study of the leadership networks

majority academic community [6].Second, the field of engineering contains a diverse set of areas and job types where diversegender disparities are apparent. Faulkner (2009) examined how some engineering tasks areperceived as feminine and placed gendered dualistic styles into six groupings: technical (i.e.engine design), social (i.e. working with people such as clients), hard (i.e. computer programing),soft (i.e. implementing safety procedures in the workplace), abstract (i.e. doing calculations), orapplied (i.e. running an experiment). The technical aspect is highly valued, associated withmasculinity and more fitting for men whereas the social aspect is less valued, referred to asfeminine and more fitting for women [10].

ofthe research has focused on retention in college, since the attrition rate of minority students ismuch higher than that of their white counterparts[11]. In 2010, African Americans comprised5.9% of students enrolled in engineering programs[16] and in 2014 held only 3.5% of the totalnumber of engineering bachelor’s degrees[40], suggesting that collegiate retention is crucial.In “Designing for Success,” the Institute for Broadening Participation outlines 12 positive factorsthat influence student persistence (and, thereby, retention) in engineering[19]. Several of theseitems factor in before a student’s admission to college (i.e., adequate preparation for collegiateSTEM courses, afterschool/summer learning opportunities in K—12), occur in the

In order for the TRIZ heuristicsto be employed, a base concept must exist and the specific characteristics that must be achievedidentified. The TRIZ manual suggests that the approach must be learned and practiced to besuccessfully utilized.

What—if any—effect does interpreting variability as “error” have on engineers’ decisionmaking when using data for design?Some participants, upon learning the observed variability was “error,” elected to change theirapproach from a conservative analysis to a more dangerous approach based on a central value(mean or median). While rare (2/24 participants), this phenomenon demonstrates the fraughtnature of a “non-communicative” stance to interdisciplinary communication.

engineered artifact is always ahypothesis which can be disproved by failure. “The process of engineering design may be considered a succession of hypotheses that such and such an arrangement of parts will perform a desired function without fail. As each hypothetical arrangement of parts is sketched either literally of figuratively on the calculation pad or computer screen, the candidate structure must be checked by analysis. The analysis consists of a series of questions about the behavior of the parts under the imagined conditions of use after construction…Absolute certainty about the fail- proofness of a design can never be attained, for we can never be certain that we have been exhaustive in
