Whileother motivations are also important to the Head Mentors, this study indicates that the clearestway to identify dedicated volunteers is through measurement of their values instilled sincechildhood. Additionally, results of the qualitative analysis indicate that Head Mentors placedhigh importance on the concepts of Skills Development, Awareness/Impact and Interactions allexperienced as part of their Head Mentoring roles.

For example: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign’s Collins ScholarsProgram, University of Michigan’s Teaching Circle, and University of Florida’s Junior-LevelFaculty Community of Practice each encouraged or required teaching observations of theirmembers. Observations are often fraught experiences for faculty. But embarking upon theseobservations within the framework of a group helped faculty to cast these assessments moreclearly as learning experiences that they’d share, rather than individual trials.In general, the observed risk mitigation rests upon the success of a learning community as a “safespace” for faculty.

Instead, itprovides researchers with some ideas as to how to identify and assess engineering literacy,explicating what the research “requires that we understand.”Engineering literacy works to describe an informed citizenry, wherein the person functionseffectively in a society that values engineering, as separate from technology.

better ways ofteaching systems engineering, so that engineers require less on-the-job training before taking ontheir roles at their respective engineering companies. A first step in improving systems engineeringeducation is identifying and assessing the strengths and inadequacies in systems engineeringeducation. Here, we propose an approach based on an analysis of the types of errors systemsengineers make in practice. In our previous work, we analyzed a large set of systems engineeringfailures and identified “decision errors” in systems engineering—decisions made before theaccident that accident investigators identified as contributing significantly to the accident. Wedeveloped eight survey questions based on failures in our dataset, including

While abroad students practiced engineering and project management skills while workingalongside community members to address specific needs.
