It proposes that “leaders influence the ethical conduct offollowers via modeling… by virtue of their assigned role, their status and success in theorganization, and their power to effect the behavior and outcomes of others” (p. 119). Brown etal. (2005) suggest that followers identify and emulate ethical leaders who act in a manner that is“normatively appropriate and motivated by altruism” (p. 120) and who communicate explicitlyabout ethics and reinforce ethical behavior.

We compared the trends found in therelevant and not-relevant papers, as well as in the papers across the four time periods andanalyzed the authorship trends in the papers.Quantitative ResultsThe quantitative results informed our research in several ways. First, the frequency analysis byyear allowed us to identify four time periods on which to focus our qualitative analysis.

Style of instruction aside, high school science and math courses rest on afoundation of relatively well-defined content; contrast this with Koen’s definition of theengineering method as “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorly understood situationwithin the available resources”1. Even retreating from this abstract definition and focusing onmore familiar territory such as electrical or mechanical engineering does not necessarilyilluminate the fundamental engineering content these disciplines share.

If beneficial resultsare been found that improve design practice in one context, how can these be meaningfullyapplied to other contexts and disciplines. How do design researchers go about applying generalfindings to a context that itself is rich and usually fixed in the way it operates.How then can research be conducted across design contexts without loosing the sense of contextunderpinning the research results?

The fact that senior mentors may one day be in aposition to judge junior faculty members (e.g. by voting on their tenure application) can make itdifficult for the junior to confide in a mentor about difficulties they are having with teaching oradvising research students. Peer mentors can share information received through experience orfrom other mentors without it feeling like an unsafe situation.V.

For example, an entire course designed at Stanford withresources focused on Silicon Valley might find little applicability at Arkansas Tech University inRusselville, Arkansas (one author’s former hometown). However, certain curricular elementsused to develop the Stanford course could be combined with elements from other courses tocreate a new course, targeted at students in Russelville. According to respondents, “blocks” ofcurriculum, or learning objects [4], are more useful than predefined courses. There is also a needfor material to help bootstrap student understanding

Most solar cells installationsare attached to an immovable base, such as a roof top or ground base. The cells are generallypointed to the midday Sun position in the sky to yield maximum energy output from the cells.The problem with this arrangement is that a reduced amount of energy is produced during theearly morning hours and late afternoon hours because the solar cells are not aligned to the Sun’sposition to receive the maximum amount of energy output.
