currently know about cognitive science to help students learn and apply the knowledge theyneed to be successful in their chosen field [2]. We know what to do to increase student-centeredlearning and instruction, but implementing these ideas can be a challenge when traditional teach-ing is embedded in the culture of our institutions and facilities like large lecture halls are de-signed for traditional lecture [2]. Conversations in higher education have typically centered moreon content than pedagogy [4]. There have always been curriculum committees, but now throughprofessional development and workshops, student-centered pedagogies are being addressed moreand more in higher education.In looking at ways to assess or evaluate teaching practices, the
developing student’s emotional intelligence.Background and Literature ReviewIndustry’ calls for professional skills in engineering curriculum has opened up the debate for bestpractices for implementation in the classroom. Packed curriculum and added ABETrequirements for professional skill development poses challenges for engineering educators. Notonly do the curriculum requirements pose challenges, but also assessment techniques, which areoften in stark contrast to traditional engineering teaching and assessment styles. Assessing hardskills through coursework is a time-tested assessment method confidently utilized by engineeringfaculty. Confidence in assessment of professional skills, like leadership, has yet to find aconsistent approach [1

Themore opportunities in formal and informal settings afforded the students, the morecomfortable they will become and a greater participation by those who think they want tolead will occur. This will accelerate their growth as leaders and the University will begin toidentify “The Bottom 3” within their campus community.How do we educate the brightest students as they navigate difficult curriculum of anengineering school while developing the leadership skills so desperately needed not only atthe corporate level, but at the university as well? Student leaders are looking for morethan just a challenging education. They are searching for

Introduction The responsibilities of a college or university faculty member are incredibly diverse. Mostfaculty have responsibilities to teach, perform research, develop courses and curriculum, reviewpapers, recruit students and serve on various committees. The amount of skills that a facultyneeds to be successful in many of these endeavors is immense. Over the course of a career, most faculty spend an enormous amount of time teaching.

After identifyingsix distinct career paths, she distributed transcripts to members of our inter-disciplinary projectteam, with each person taking responsibility for one or two paths. Our team of three engineersand two social scientists completed a data triangulation process by collectively analyzing a singletranscript. The purpose of this process was three-fold—first, to support the development ofnovice qualitative analysts, second to ensure a level of consistency in our thematic coding, andthird to become self-aware of our analytic predispositions.

technologies and solutions are developed to scale them. Engineeringgraduates need to learn something different from college curriculum – within a few years ofgraduation. They will have to acquire a great deal of new knowledge and wisdom throughindependent learning. That mandates development of the life-long learning competency ofengineering students. Therefore, all the leading accreditation systems of engineering educationhave included life-long learning as one of the graduate attributes (competency). This competencyconnotes that learning must occur beyond the formal structure of educational institutions andthroughout one‘s lifetime. Employers expect that the life-long learning competency be developedin the formative days of engineers i.e. during
