in a curriculum underconstant pressure to cover broadening technical fields. Often these leadership courses areoffered as options on top of existing requirements, resulting in students taking additional credits,at significant cost to them. The Engineering Leadership Development (ELD) Program at Penn State University hasoffered an 18 credit minor in Engineering Leadership Development for over 20 years, with over600 graduates. While approximately two times that many students have benefitted by takingcourses in engineering leadership during that period, it still represents a fraction of the more than20,000 who have graduated from the College of Engineering in the same time span. Further,anecdotal evidence has shown that, while many
the program also awards students a minor inengineering leadership that is recorded on their transcript. To earn a minor in Engineering Leadership, students are required to complete a set ofengineering leadership core classes and other engineering and/or non-engineering coursesoffered across the University by various departments and colleges and representing one of fourconcentration areas. The curriculum for the engineering leadership minor is comprised of sixteencredit hours consisting of core and elective courses: Seven credit hours of core courses and ninecredit hours consisting of elective courses of their choosing.

One of the primary objectives of this alliance was to identify potential areas forimprovement, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective.

We did not ask respondents to describe where in the application package they wouldexpect to see information to inform their evaluation of these constructs; however, we expect theywould be evident to varying degrees in many common application documents, most notably theteaching statement and cover letter, and perhaps, in the curriculum vitae with evidence ofprofessional development in the area of inclusive teaching and/or awards received (e.g., teachingassistants who receive teaching awards).Quantitative data cleaning and statistical analysis were carried out using Jamovi (2021), an open-source

More particularly, this study gauged the effects of non-anonymity uponthe self-awareness and defensiveness of those who receive feedback, the willingness of thosewho provide feedback to be open and honest, as well as its effects upon teams’ levels of trust andunity, and levels of performance.Creating conditions under which people who give feedback will be open and honest, and thosewho receive feedback will be accepting of it, is essential. This is in order to properly develop theself-awareness of individuals so that they can correctly identify and improve upon theirweaknesses. It seems that this is what will lead to

Learning [4] and Project-Based Learning(PBL) [5], with the latter being the primary focus of this work. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a strategy in which the teacher provides a problem tostudents who, through research and discussions, develop a project aiming to solve the proposedproblem [6]. In this method, the student is the protagonist in seeking and providing a solution tothe problem, while the teacher participates as a tutor, supporting the student in the search for asolution.
