in Europe“will be a move towards student-centered higher education and away from teacher drivenprovision” (p. 7). This philosophy is intended to serve as an integral component of our efforts.Key practices that encourage desired student and faculty behaviors include inquiry-basedlearning, just-in-time teaching, problem-based discussion, cooperative learning, hands-onprojects, critical reading, and student writing and presentations. No longer is learning only thematerial presented by the course instructor considered sufficient; there is simply too much tocover. Rather, we approach our reform efforts from the perspective that students need to learnhow to learn – and how to think and act like engineers. Such an approach requires that
futureleaders.Kilgore7 (2013) notes that 22 countries other than the US now have programs that are beingaccredited by ABET. The co-author (Maillacheruvu) visited Vellore Institute of Technology andlearned about some of the challenges in implementing ABET criteria in a different culturalsetting. As the role of ABET increases in engineering education, cultural exchanges between USuniversities and those around the world have the potential to become seamless and make iteasier, from an academic standpoint, for international exchange of students and faculty.

successful they will be at becoming an effective leader. The best time todevelop these skills are during the undergraduate education of an engineer. This is a time that thestudent can practice, without serious consequences for making mistakes. Therefore, the university’s role in providing programs to prepare students to not only belifelong learners, but also leaders, has gained a greater significance in the last ten years. In orderto meet industry’s growing demand for future technical leaders, university sponsoredundergraduate engineering leadership development programs have been increasing steadily.

influence their teaching practices? This research was designed to understand theinfluence that accreditation, as an external force, has on ethics education via the educators taskedwith teaching it. This study employed an exploratory qualitative approach and drew on semi-structured interviews that probed participants’ ethics teaching practices and perspectives,including the influences and motivations related to their instruction. Interviews were completedwith 20 engineering ethics educators who represented a range of engineering disciplines across17 institutions in the United States. Inductive analysis of the transcripts indicated a bifurcatedresponse to accreditation in the context of ethics and societal impacts education. On one hand,accreditation

The collaborative qualitative research methods presented here combine elements from collaborative autoethnography and inquiry to narrate the experiences of EER as they transition to new faculty positions. These methods may be valuable to study other transition periods within and outside of engineering education, such as early career engineers and K-12 engineering education teachers. References [1] A.

Removing an Unsupported Statement in Engineering Education Literature Keith E. Holbert and George G. Karady Arizona State University, Tempe, AZAbstractThe STATEMENT that “students retain 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% ofwhat they see, …” enjoys widespread appearance in engineering education papers. The firstarchived occurrence of the STATEMENT emerges in a trade magazine article by Treichler (1967).A continuous improvement plan compels the re-evaluation of the status quo, and as such thispaper provides a critical review of this unsupported STATEMENT and its proliferation.
