Education, 2020 Online Professional Development for Embedding Industry Credentials in Engineering CurriculaIntroduction As the number of industry credentials embedded in engineering curricula increase, facultymust obtain these credentials to facilitate integration of the affiliated learning objectives inexisting coursework. While short-term, intensive professional development workshops have beenused as “bootcamps” to quickly teach faculty the body of knowledge associated with thecredential, these training sessions require time and often travel expenses. Additionally, thefaculty must complete any necessary testing to obtain the credential in a timely manner.Professional development for these credentials and
has recently adopted Computer Science Education as his research focus.Prof. Yuting W. Chen, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign Dr. Yuting W. Chen received the B.S. degree from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2009 and 2011, all in Electri- cal Engineering. She is currently a Teaching Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Jeff is currently leading a campus-wide strategic planning process focused on creating more transforma- tive educational experiences for lifelong learners. Jeff first joined UW-Madison’s faculty in 1989 as an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he co-founded the Construction Engineering and Management Pro- gram and developed the construction curriculum. In addition, he has authored and co-authored papers on the subject of educating civil engineers. His body of work demonstrates his commitment to using
why of engineering leadership, which speaks to engineeringinnovation and service to society.Discussion and ConclusionEngineering leadership is a growing field of research with a lack of clarity and limitedsynchronicity. This proposed definition provides a foundation for a clear understanding of thewhat, the how, the who and the why of engineering leadership. Education institutions andindustry organizations looking to design or revamp engineering leadership programs can also usethis definition to provide guidance on the vision and goals of their programs. The mode ofdelivery for engineering leadership is also important to consider. Although faculty membersoften believe leadership skills are best developed in extracurricular experiences [34

The assumptions were developed from Knowles’ recognitionthat the

For development assistance, they relied on two leadership training and developmentprofessionals who had prior experience in managing, developing, and delivering leadershipdevelopment programs in industry (i.e., HP and Boeing).

Initial recommendations were made to address the medical device industrybut that would leave out addressing the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

learning. Expectancy has been conceptualized throughself-efficacy. Self-efficacy in this context relates to an individual’s confidence in their ability tolead, or learning to lead. Thus, previous positive experiences with trying to lead, perhaps in non-engineering settings such as sports, could contribute to one’s expectancy. In contrast, if anindividual subscribes to the philosophy that leaders are born (Great Man Theory [16]) and hashad previous negative experiences trying to lead, they may have poor motivation toward learningabout leadership. As with many facets of learning, a growth mindset may be important forleadership development in students. Isaac et al. [17] promoted EVT as a framework that shouldbe taught as part of leadership
