challenges, when taken together, point to thegrowing recognition that a central component of a holistic engineering education is thedevelopment of engineering leaders.Though definitions of Engineering Leadership (EL) are as varied as the definitions for leadershipbroadly, we draw on the definition of EL as defined by [4], who sought to bring these disparatedefinitions together in an actionable way for undergraduate engineering education: Engineering Leaders 1) employ the full range of engineering skills and knowledge in the design of socio-technical innovations while 2) seeking to understand, embrace, and address the current and future impact of their work in context by 3) actively fostering engaged and productive

To guide our research, we sought to develop a standard definition based on review ofrelevant sources.Pahl and Beitz [5] describe a process for deriving specifications based on customer feedback thatinform the embodiment and capability of the solution. They note that requirements should bequantitative whenever possible. Further, well written requirements allow for evaluation of a widerange of solution principles but levels of abstraction in the problem formulation are important tosupporting this. If designers are trying to leave the design space as open as possible to encouragemore innovative ideas, the problem
teach digital circuits and concluded that it may explode student's interest and cultivate innovative ability. Using Multisim is different in that the HDL method is built from top-down and Multisim is built from bottom-up. The top-down method concerns how to build a circuit to fulfill its function. That is how instantiation works. The bottom-up method concerns how to use the known logic component to realize the required function. With Multisim, the bottom-up method is used and the designer needs to know each constituent digital part before making a circuit to work. Whereas, the HDL instantiates circuit objects that can be built later. For beginner students such as college sophomores, they have learned basic logic components, so

Many viewed the transition as “Panic-gogy” asinstructors rushed to create new content for virtual learning [17]. However, the pandemicprovided a significant boost to innovative teaching approaches and a proliferation of newtechnology to support remote and hybrid teaching. Many instructors who

While some engineering solutions of the projects that we worked on directly related to stakeholders, most projects did not have whole community meetings (with stakeholders representing almost 12,000 future users) to weigh in on the design! 1The results of this assessment show that the students were able to place themselves into thespeakers’ positions to

Within the context of this case study, educators are guided to establishreasonable expectations for study abroad experiences so that a new program can be rewarding forboth students and faculty.IntroductionEngineering courses can be intimidating to a non-engineer. In fact, they often intimidate ourown engineering majors. Students hear about the hours upon hours of homework, or they hearabout the impossible tests and low averages. While these challenges could deter students,engineering educators know that engineering is full of excitement, novel innovations

possess the communication skills to excel inindustry. Making matters more complicated is the fact that many programs focus on teachingengineering fundamentals and leave “soft skills” to other departments. Given this environment,an approach tailored to engineering communication is needed to meet the unique requirementsfor engineers in industry.The challenge of communicating complicated, technical material is one that has beleagueredengineers and engineering schools for decades. Engineers must be able to communicate acrossvarious levels of technical depth, across various verbal and written forms of communication, andmust ensure the audience comprehends them. Because engineers often are deeply responsible fortheir company’s innovation, they play an
