„mistaking the edge of the rut for the horizon’. These requirements mustbe viewed in the context of leadership that fits the needs of the 21st Century. The complexities ofplanning and developing strategy in a global economic manufacturing environment have becomemuch more difficult than in the last century. The approach to leadership for this environmentmust keep pace. Internally, leadership must draw on all the skills of every employee to developthe innovative processes and products that meet the challenges of global competitors.Externally, these leaders must change the face of manufacturing to the public, showing thetremendous impact of manufacturing on our quality of life2, and making a career inmanufacturing an attractive option for students

For example, engineers may design toys, games, playground infrastructure, and artifacts,for children to be used in schools such that when played the students realize the negative effectsof certain cultural negatives to be avoided. A case in point is a monopoly-like game the aim ofwhich is to make students realize the detrimental impact of bribery to quickly get them through asituation, a tremendous problem in third world countries. Corruption has been cited byDonaldson to have many negative effects on product design and the use of technology inpromoting a better life in the (LIEs)7.

However, although active learning can improve the experiences for students withinengineering, the impact of active learning on students of color and women are mixed [e.g., 14].Studies of the general college population have demonstrated positive effects of active learning onstudents’ self-confidence and persistence toward graduate school [15].

These are the additional outcomes that can beachieved through custom design. Soldering skills are another additional outcome. Using a custom board designed for studentsto assemble in lab provides an extended period of time to improve surface mount and throughhole soldering skills. It is still possible to integrate soldering into a course using a commercialPLD board by giving students an add-on board to assemble. This may be a convenient alterna-tive to achieve the same goal.

We offered the grading position to 24 graduate students, expecting some to drop outbefore the event, a hypothesis that came true. However, in hindsight, we should have estimated ahigher drop out ratio, since we had a large number of withdrawing the week before thegrade-a-thon, leaving us with only 16 graders for the event.II.

A main finding is that data science programs tend to have moreprogramming, statistics, and higher mathematics requirements than programs that focus on dataanalytics. This is an important aspect to communicate to students and their parents. In addition,the authors called for more analysis of how programs teach the soft skills that are important tocareers in data analytics and data science. Borne et al.

This need is being driven byemerging interdisciplinary areas in bioinformatics, geoinformatics, astroinformatics, andmaterials informatics. An important point to emphasize is the broad nature of

The taxonomy was revised in 2001 from its six levels that were originally devised inthe 1950s. It offers a language to qualitatively express different kinds of thinking and provides a way toorganize thinking skills into six levels from remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating andcreating.
