What emerged was a year-long positive leadership development program that inspiredour leaders to learn, experiment with, and reflect on positive leadership approaches, which inturn initiated a culture shift in the College.

To summarize, we believe that the five-year integrated M.Eng. program with co-op is a very viableway to balance the many demands on a modern chemical engineering department. It provides students with afirmly anchored education which has depth, breadth and independent work. It gives the faculty a positiveoutlet for research and creative activity. And it provides industry with graduates who are ready to go to workwith minimal on-the-job training. The program is not without problems, but we believe the positive aspects Page 1.466.6fa;outweigh any faults. .--. . . - ~’hxij 1996 ASEE Annual

Our research in design learning1,2 leads usto believe that students come to designing with a set of misconceptions that confound theirlearning (in whatever milieu) and those misconceptions have to be confronted and dealt with asearly as possible. We want the students to uncover design processes and construct their ownmodels of designing.II.

The students would be assessed in the three different Bloom’s Taxonomy learningdomains. Lessons learned, and examples from other research work were considered. Forinstance, Harib25 presents the assessment of an introductory mechatronics hands-on course.

Students placed in groups of three or four to work on the project throughout the semester,documenting their design work, researching existing solutions, proposing designs to meet a givenset of specifications, testing their ideas on a small scale, constructing a full-scale prototype, andevaluating the performance of that prototype. Given that the students have minimal exposure toengineering mechanics in the first year of their educations, the complexity comes from the scaleand scope of the projects while potential solutions are fundamentally simplistic.
