It istherefore worth asking if engineering graduate students are being adequately trained tocompetently negotiate the intertextual world of scholarly writing

emergingnew needs and requirements of the society. ASEE21 states: The profession of engineering and the teaching of engineering are undergoing a transformation driven by a number of external forces. The rise of the new biology and the nano-sciences is having a profound impact on society and on engineering practice and education. Similarly the growing complexity of socio-technical systems and the increasing sophistication of product development are shifting our understanding of the profession and its work. As a consequence the traditional engineering disciplines (e.g. Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical) formed in the industrial age of the 19th century may not be appropriate in the knowledge age of the 21st

Traditional pedagogy is less common in academic makerspaces than inother academic spaces.

leadershipprograms in universities. As noted by Bayless and Robe, many engineering educators have beenresistant to include engineering leadership within the engineering curriculum, considering it a“soft skill, not relevant to the discipline,” and thus potentially redirecting resources orinstructional time from technical material [6].Another impediment in the development of programs on engineering leadership is the nebulousdefinition of the term itself. Although several authors have attempted to summarize thecharacteristics required of effective engineering leaders (see for example Farr, et al.

The goal is to determine the maturity state and intrinsic merits ofan emerging technology rather than measure the capacity of an individual or group tomake it a success.Constraints on evolutionFor any new technology to be a success it must pass three competitive tests. 1. There must be enough customers to sustain a business. If the innovation is radical, it can be seen as meeting only a niche market and a self-limiting process of investment and development follows. 2. If the new technology is a replacement for an existing product, for example a new portable electrical energy source, there is a cost target to be met
