Inlater years, organizations noticed the potential impact of coaches and coaching on manager andemployee behavior. 6 Employees who were “coached” were said to have higher job satisfactionand commitment to career and their organization. Within engineering and technology relatedcompanies—leader coaching behavior was associated with high productivity and processimprovement. 7For those engineering and technology firms integrating leader/manager coaching competencydevelopment, coaching has emerged as a leader’s obligation. Consultants developed leadershipcoaching programs, books and related trade publications. 3 Researchers have begun to establishthat employees value leader coaching which are viewed as

students at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.The course description stated, “The objective of this course is to demonstrate keyconcepts in environmental chemistry and microbiology through engaging students in theevaluation of appropriate technology using case studies. Drinking water and sanitarysystem design in North America, India, and Sub- Saharan East Africa will be used tocompare design needs in developed, emerging, and less developed countries. Successfulcompletion of this course should prepare students for further study in appropriatetechnologies.” Through a dual listing with the campus-wide honors program, this coursewas successfully marketed as an elective to students in a wide range of disciplinarybackgrounds including engineering

At a minimum, adesign solution should not cause any unnecessary harms, or negative impacts to those outside theproject team. The Risk Innovation Nexus [8] refers to these as “orphan risks”, or those that don’tnecessarily have a “clear and direct return on investment”.

No longer are students constrained to only problem-solving from their textbook.Digital tools of this architecture can assist students in and outside of the classroom and on a varietyof mobile platforms. These results provide significant implications for the field by providing adata-driven, evidence-based solution for administrators and instructors to optimize instructionalstrategies, integrate emerging technological tools and facilitate anywhere-anytime learning for theubiquitous learner.References[1] J.

Other students responded positively to thecourse content (i.e., “I learned a lot of practical environmental health information that I plan touse in practice”). Future work should: 1) follow-up with students to identify the value of thecourse in their professional practice after graduation; 2) assess changes in student attitudes andbeliefs from before and after the course; and 3) replicate the course at other institutions toevaluate the effectiveness of the course content and delivery approach independent of thepersonality of the instructor and with a variety of student types.IntroductionThe field today known as “environmental engineering” emerged formally with the creation oftwo organizations

Slack is a one-stop site that brings allreal-time communication together and keeps information in sync. The app offers messaging,sending notifications, and allowing the team to collaborate together on projects wherever theyare located. “I think it is really good to have a text-based conversation channel for the team like Slack, for example, where this benefits everyone not just the deaf employees.” (P1)Ideally, the supervisors should keep abreast of emerging access

emphasized inentrepreneurial programs [2].Entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML) is an emergent pedagogy that emphasizes discovery,opportunity identification, and value creation. As a teaching method, it can be applied to all areasof study and has been developed by hundreds of faculty members at colleges and universitiesacross the country [3], [4]. EML can also be infused to specific fields of engineering at any levelfrom freshmen to capstone courses [5], [6]. EML relies on real-world experiences; opportunitiesto practice information literacy–accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information; expert-to-novice mentoring in the learning process [7]; and value sensitive design which results in universalvalue creation [8].
