McCormick’s socio-cognitiveleadership model due to its incorporation of domain-specific leadership and self-efficacy. Wemeasured NILA attendees gained self-efficacy through pre- and post-conference surveys. Thesurvey questions and assessment validity are presented. The survey results show a growth ofattendees’ self-efficacy and preparation to interface with their leadership environment (i.e., STEMcollegiate system and workforce). Given McCormick’s leadership model and no specific approachto leadership self-efficacy, the programming and chapter-based organizational infrastructure iswidely applicable to other chapter-based organizations.NomenclatureEFA Exploratory Factor AnalysisCCLP Certified Chapter Leaders ProgramCMT Chapter

Product assessments are an example of using this definition of creativity becausepeople are often evaluated on the creativeness of the products they have made or are making.Individual teachers informally do most of these evaluations through general observation, butsometimes the testing is done through formal assessments18.

The difficulties are grouped under major headingsin order to give an easy-to-see view of them. A thorough understanding of these difficulties, andtheir root causes, is vital for any instructional design aimed at mitigating these problems, and forenabling better learning of thermodynamics. The paper also summarizes the techniques thathave been tried to solve these problems and the degree of success achieved. Generally speaking,there are two major classes of thermodynamic learning problems. First, students do not properlylearn

- The Benefits and ChallengesAbstractIntercollegiate design competitions are a popular means to engage students in design activitiesthat extend beyond the curriculum. When students gather around a project in their spare timeand use their classroom skills to design, build, and test a product for an intercollegiatecompetition, something amazing happens: They develop a passion for engineering. This paperdiscusses the key benefits to engineering undergraduate students that flow from involvement in ateam design competition. Advisor involvement plays a key role in both project success andstudent learning throughout the process. Different approaches to advising student competitionteams are compared.

The actual specific project statement was weak. Fortunately, constraints, goals, established customer need, current art research, deliverables, success metrics were all included. However, practicality and identified design methods could have been fleshed out better. Perhaps this statement is the underlying “learning” of capstone. Whether it is in the form ofdeveloping a problem statement, patenting a design concept or maybe in learning from failure,reflection is powerful
