through progressively leadingsmall teams, medium teams and larger teams. Secondly, because there are fewer mid-levelemployees, less-experienced engineers are frequently stretched into leadership roles beyond whatwould typically be given them.Interviews with several technology executives estimate that nearly 80% of projects led by thesewell motivated, but raw, chiefs fail in achieving many of the key objectives of the project, at bestcreating a non-optimal product; at worst something unworthy of taking to market.Adding to the difficulty of developing engineering leadership is distilling the difference betweenmanagement and leadership. Developing engineers perceive career growth in the technicalspace as capped or limited and that eventually they

the session with a workingtimeline, a clear plan for their first iteration, and a set of collaboratively-defined tasks [14].A second major theme to emerge from the Section 1 Pre-TPS was a concern about completingproject deliverables in time. Students seemed uncertain whether they could get to all theirsponsor- and team-defined requirements by the end of the semester, with specific commentscentered around different work styles among team members, issues with getting the developmentenvironment to work on their machines (i.e. “setup issues on my laptop”), and coordinating tasksamong individuals or sub-teams. Of specific concern was learning new tools and technologies ina short period of time and working on team-defined sprints or iterations

In the comments, the grader can either critique or complement theanswer. Across the evaluations, several key themes emerge from the comments. Some negativecomments mention lack of clarity and correctness of equations in the answers, with specificissues being messy or inconsistent formatting and terminology (e.g., “volume” instead of “area”).Graders frequently noted responses that failed to handle a poorly phrased question or questionsthat contained incorrect phrasing or assumptions. Positive comments were made about equations,wording of explanations, and alignment with the

In their description, the three
partnership for sustainable developmentThe breadth of the SDGs demonstrates the need for multilateral and multi-stakeholdercollaboration. While the specific role for engineers in achieving the SDGs is not clearly defined,it is clear that science and technology must play a role in making progress toward any of theSDGs [3]. This is emphasized through the establishment of the collaborative UN Multi-Stakeholder Forum Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs [4]. The call forcollaboration from members of civil society, private sector, scientific community, and UNentities establishes the critical role of engineers and scientists in informing strategies and inactualizing the SDGs.The role of engineers in achieving the SDGs takes many forms.

Participation in STEM: The Energy Example (Work in Progress)Current and emerging research cites the need for early and sustained engagement in science andengineering learning to attract young learners to STEM careers. The STEM workforce size anddemographics is a national concern in the United States [1]. Federal funding agencies such asNSF, NIH, the Department of Education and educators nationwide have been focusing on solvingthis national problem [2]. Attracting more underrepresented students to STEM fields has beenrecognized as crucial to addressing the current and expanding needs of our national STEMworkforce.Field trips to local universities are one vehicle to introduce youth to STEM topics.

collaborate with a knowledge/technology user organization thatcould benefit from the research results.” [9].There is some debate regarding the definition of “knowledge translation” [10] and how it relatesto evidence-based practices [11] but in simple terms, the core questions that must be answeredare: “What is known?” and “What is currently being done?” [12]. These questions lead toseeking a long term plan that guides how research can move from the “bench to bedside” [13],which should be the objective of biomedical engineers assessing user needs when developingany medical technology [14]. The close connection that biomedical engineering has in bridgingthe gap between medicine and technology makes it easy to apply knowledge translation tobiomedical
