the mainchallenges in designing an APR-based speech therapy system are: first, how to maintain sufficientmotivation for children during long practice sessions at home, and second, how to providefeedback in a way that children can easily understand without the interpretation from SLPs orparents.These challenges provide a rich learning experience for engineering students involving not onlythe user interface design (UID) of a therapeutic system for young children but also cutting-edgemachine learning and speech recognition techniques. UID is the process designers use to buildinterfaces in software or computerized devices that focus on looks or style7.

“millennial generation”, we wondered whether the social andcultural values ascribed to this generation would be reflected in their understanding ofprofessional responsibility and ethics in the practice of engineering.As a part of a one-semester engineering design course at our public university in the westernUnited States, we conduct a workshop in engineering ethics with a discussion of the ABET Codeof Ethics for Engineers, followed by a case study of an ethical dilemma in an industrialworkplace. During the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters we included an assessment surveyof the workshop content and delivery, between one week and two weeks later, to determine howwell the students understood the meaning of ethical responsibility and could identify

Additionally,the INCOSE term “successful realization” is indicative of a broader creation theme thatencompasses the emergent themes of design and build present in student supplied definitions.This parallel further supports student exposure to or understanding of systems engineering.Similar parallels are observed

Exploration of engineering consulting firms builds on our understanding ofengineering leadership as well as extends our knowledge of how leadership is enacted withinPSFs.Conceptual Framework:To guide our exploration, we employ Empson and Langley’s framework on leadership withinPSFs [22] as our conceptual lens. This framework describes leadership as mechanisms ofinfluence applied in an environment where authority and power are sometimes contested andambiguous. They established this framework by reviewing practitioner-oriented texts aboutleadership within PSFs, and leadership theories from applicable contexts

In addition, the authors investigated how the students’tolerance to change affected their prioritization of environmental issues and environmentalknowledge. High resistance to change scores indicate low perceived importance ofenvironmental engineering and low levels of understanding of environmental engineering issues,with the exception of issues related to policy/legislature where the relationship is positivelycorrelated.
