inbehavior” which are an essential part of developing authentic leadership skills. York claims that“in contemporary English-speaking society, there is a cultural bias towards the cognitive andconative aspects of learning. The development of affect is inhibited…leading to a lack ofemphasis on people as whole persons.” [22]. The author resonates with York’s assessment anddecided to design a leadership development course which enables the participants to engage withboth “their own whole-person knowing and the whole-person knowing of their fellow learners”[22].The course described in this study was designed with the objective to support the participatingstudents with the development of their authentic leadership skills while also addressing thewhole

It is this conclusion --- that thesystem isn’t broken but needs to become more relevant --- that has guided NEET’s approach.We commissioned Dr. Ruth Graham an independent educational consultant who focuses onhigher education reform to conduct a global undergraduate engineering education survey11 toidentify institutional leaders and innovators, and innovative educational constructs. The keyfindings from this study were that emerging institutional leaders have benefited from strong andvisionary academic leadership, a faculty culture of educational innovation, and new tools thatsupport educational exploration and student assessment. There were two trends that emerged.The first is a tilting global axis to Asia and the South, benefiting from

Given the overall scientific/pragmatic nature ofengineering assessment, Macmurray’s philosophy predicts that the common modes ofengineering reflection will likely result in focusing on efficiently improving students’ ability toact as engineers without simultaneous emphasizing their growth as a person and citizen. Whilephilosophy is distinct from pedagogy and assessment practices, Macmurray’s philosophicalsystem provides guidance for developing other modes of reflection that may enable engineeringto recognize and work

. Another benefit would be reducing actual or potential cheating on exams. Morerecent attempts to test student programming skills and its associated problems have beenpublished6,7. Various studies utilize different assessment approaches and define their own set oflearning outcomes, competencies or skills that are being assessed. Defining what appropriateprogramming skills are is in itself a difficult problem8.More recently, competency-based education has become popular in many different fields9, andthe driving force seems to be “Transitioning away from seat time, in favor of a structure thatcreates flexibility, allows students to progress as they demonstrate mastery of academic content,regardless of time, place, or pace of learning”10.

recent findings regarding risk-averse behavior among engineers and engineering educators. Seron and Silbey describe what they refer toas Type II errors of over-specification, which they find within engineering education. Their article, “Thedialectic between expert knowledge and professional discretion,” focuses on quantitative accreditationstandards and how they adversely impact an emphasis on professional judgment in engineering.10 Andalthough EC 2000 was an attempt to move beyond quantitative standards, the implementation of “a-k”outcomes and their assessment merely affirm Seron and Silbey’s findings. For many, this list simplybecame a different set of requirements to be met, rather than a change that would enable genuineeducational innovation

CommunityChange is hard, a truism that can be highlighted in engineering education in many ways. Themomentum of engineering education in traditional forms, and even the experiences of people inprofessional careers, is hard to shift, but many have tried.1 One can argue that the shift toABET’s EC2000 outcomes-based assessment was meant to serve as a change agent, but after adecade of implementation, engineering education looked pretty much the same. Small changesin programs sometimes stuck, and sometimes programs faded back to the way they were beforeany interventions were attempted. With the idea that maybe things could be different, thatmaybe change could last, a group of engineering educators got together to imagine what anengineering program could look
