strong ethicalleadership. This paper reports a module for developing graduate engineering students as ethicalleaders. The module, which includes learning objectives and student outcomes, assessmentprocedures, and instruction plans, is currently being piloted in a civil engineering graduateseminar course at a large, public university. Future work includes collecting assessment data,analyzing student learning, and improving the module based on assessment results. We plan toreport the assessment results in future publications.AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by a Leadership Research Grant from the Fisher Leadership Initiative atThe Ohio State University.

The program also provides the participantsa better understanding of the difference in terms of research in academia and industry. Theevidence indicates that the REU helped the students to deepen their understanding of research,and to differentiate research in academic and industrial contexts, although their understandingtended toward concrete, rather than abstract, distinctions. According to one of the finds from theexternal evaluator: “One aspect of the participants’ perceptions of research that appeared tochange from before to after their experience was an initial focus on confirming or refining ideas.By the end of the experience, the students were more likely to

Supporting this significant event and recognizing the urgentneed of increasing diversity, deans of engineering schools across the United States signedpledges to act on four major diversity initiatives. One of these initiatives addresses thecommitment of developing and implementing proactive strategies for increasing therepresentation of women and underrepresented minorities within the engineering professoriate[1].

This paper discusses the SURE Program, scopeof the student projects, analyses of the mentors’ and mentees’ perceptions of mentees’ researchskills, and the potential future improvements for the program.Institutional ContextThe Citadel’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Program had its inauguralyear in the summer of 2017 and was initiated out of the Office of the Provost [11]. The programallows students from all disciplines across campus to participate in either a 5-6 week or an 8-10week research experience based on the preference of the student and faculty pair [11]. Based onthis selection, students are provided a stipend ranging from $2,500-$4,000 and on-campushousing and meals, if needed. The

The mentoring load was heaviest during the initial summer month while thestudents learned the foundational material, with a lessening of the mentoring load as the studentsbecame more self-sufficient and confident in their research abilities. The undergraduatestudents also had the opportunity to work with an entering graduate student during the durationof the summer research experience that had a similar undergraduate research experience theprevious spring.Based on past experience, it was noted that electrical engineering

Two of the students were undergraduates: one of whom was a senior physics major; theother was a junior civil engineering major. The third student was a first-year master’s student inphysics. None of these three students had any previous coursework in geology or geophysics,although the graduate student had been exposed to geophysics when he had worked for an oilcompany during a previous summer.

Such research has indicated that while creativity and innovation are notsynonymous, creativity is a necessary but insufficient condition for innovative thinking andeventual innovation in engineering.21 While initially the bulk of research on creativity occurredin K-12 settings, most recently when creativity has been paired with innovation, the research hascrept into business settings and now, in university settings.22 Some, including Sheppard andcolleagues, have
