the real-world, faculty assign students toteams. However, there are varying levels of commitment and skills regarding effective teamworkamong students. To address this disparity, the faculty developed a student regulated learningreflection (SLR) assignment which asks each student to define leadership and teamwork, tocomplete a confidential peer-evaluation by assessing each team member’s performance andanswering a psychological safety questionnaire. The criteria looked at leadership, collaborationand inclusivity, responsibility, work quality, meeting deadlines, and communication. First, eachstudent shares their opinion regarding each criterion through a SLR, where faculty review theirreflections and provide instruction to improve gaps

products developed by Microchip Technology. The faculty in the ESD department atASU has already participated in the MASTERs conference/workshop, conducted by Microchipfor their customers annually. This event will serve as a professional development activity for thefaculty to learn updated technological products and bring this knowledge and experience to theclassroom. The engineering staff at Microchip is also assisting the ESD faculty by sharingworkshop materials as supplements to classroom lectures, and by serving as guest speakers forthe microcontroller classes. Furthermore, this partnership provides internship and, hopefully,career opportunities for the students in the program.This industry partnership is expected to benefit the program to
the larger clinic program at Harvey Mudd to examine clinic leaders from otherdepartments to see if there are any major differences when compared to the data from theengineering clinic program. This survey and the additional recommended evaluations as well asrepeating the evaluations in the future will be critical to ensuring the best clinic program possiblefor students, faculty, liaisons, and alumni. As the clinic program at Harvey Mudd has also servedas a model for similar programs at other institutions around the world, seeking theseimprovements to leadership skill development might result in a widespread change totomorrow’s industry leaders.AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Professor Kash Gokli, the Harvey Mudd Clinic Director, and
c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Educating Engineering Educators to Nurture 21st Century Indian EngineersAbstractAn educational institution is defined by its faculty; student intake and infrastructure are largelydependent on the faculty. Any educational system, therefore, has to focus on educating thefaculty on an ongoing basis. While ample research has been reported on the requirements of the21st century engineers, its deployment is not satisfactory, especially in the Indian engineeringeducation system. This has to be addressed as India is endowed with impressive demographicdividend, as compared to many developed economies and is poised to become a major workforcesupplier in

Tailoring is essential to separate applications capabilities from esotericexercises. The organization’s technical leadership has the responsibility to lead the effort for thiscurriculum development. And university faculty possessing consulting experience and appliedresearch make excellent choices for partnering with the leadership to tailor and teach thiscurriculum. Note

The course is considered one ofthe “bedrock” engineering courses in the college and covers many of the most basic analytical skills thataspiring engineering undergraduates must master before graduation.Previous to this work, the course was split into three different sections with approximately 150 studentsper section. Each section would be instructed by a tenure-track faculty member of the Mechanical andAerospace Engineering department (MAE) and would have 2-3 graduate teaching assistants assigned toit. Each lecture would have several homework problems assigned that would be due by the followinglecture that the TA’s would physically collect, grade, and
Construction Management. While an online program can expandopportunities for faculty to use new course delivery methods, the benefits are primarily for thestudents. It allows nontraditional students to take classes at their convenience while retainingtheir full-time jobs and maintaining their commitments to family and community. This paperreports the process and results of the development and delivery of an online constructionestimating course. The major components of this paper include the hardware and software usedto develop and deliver an online estimating course as well as the lessons learned. Some snapshotsof the course delivery are included in the paper. The student rating responses for this course arediscussed, in general, as well. It is
best todevelop, implement, and assess a fully accredited online undergraduate engineering program. Ofparticular importance is to identify and address critical elements of such a program, including:potential student populations, faculty requirements, curriculum requirements, admissions criteria,accreditation requirements, implementation resources (faculty, technical equipment, financial),collaboration with other institutions, and laboratory requirements.Successful development of such a program will enable access to superior engineering educationby under-represented populations, students in remote locations, and students who are otherwiseconstrained with regard to traditional undergraduate engineering programs due to family oremployment

position of authority within the group [8].The review paper on engineering leadership development programs by Crumpton-Young, et al.showed common agreement between professional engineers and engineering students about whichskills are most useful for an engineer in a leadership position [9]. But their work showed that thereis a need for richer qualitative data, which our study may be able to help provide. One such studyis by Cox et al., who asked engineering faculty members to assess students strengths, weaknesses,and future learning opportunities [10]. While leadership skills of engineering students maydevelop in many contexts, Knight, et al (2017) found that curricular emphasis on leadershipdevelopment is more reliable than student engagement in
years indicates that engineeringleadership development programs and courses may look toward the U.S. Army and the militarymore broadly in addition to industry for examples of leadership and leader development.Leadership models used in these programs may pull from U.S. Army leadership doctrine (e.g.,[9]). Veterans and currently serving military members are often consulted in the development ofengineering leadership programs (e.g., [10], [11]). Faculty in these programs may be veterans(e.g., [12]). The University of Texas at El Paso’s E-LEAD program bases its model directly onthe leadership development model of The United States Military Academy [13]. Paradoxically,educators exploring engineering leadership [1] may overlook military colleges
traditional lecturing is a very inefficient way to facilitateconceptual learning1, and that student-centered active learning can result in a deeperunderstanding of the concepts in question8. Furthermore, when active learning is conducted in anextensively group-based learning environment, students develop various generic, professionalfunctioning knowledge skills, such as problem-solving, written and oral communication,independent learning, team work, etc.Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a form of group-based learning that is being used successfully insophomore-level electric circuit theory courses at the affiliated institution. Because of thissuccess, a department-wide initiative is underway to encourage other faculty to use TBL in theircourses as well
