when hiring engineeringundergraduates1-4. Although there has been progress on developing engineering undergraduates’leadership skills during their college years, faculty members have encountered many challenges5.One of the challenges includes ways to incorporate leadership development into engineeringcourses. This paper describes a leadership course which used case studies to develop engineeringstudents’ leadership skills.Usually written in narrative forms, a case study is a situation or issue that includes facts andopinions that contribute to the decisions made by involved people6. In the engineering educationcontext, case studies can help convey the complexity and ambiguity of the practical world,develop students’ positive attitudes towards

In what might be called a common scenario across campuses in the U.S., thedecision at OSU to include courses on difference, power, and discrimination in the corecurriculum had its origins in student unrest and demands for a more welcoming

evaluating the performance of students in an engineering senior design course is a“tricky task,” and that many papers exist that simply discuss the existence of various gradingrubrics and outlines, but these papers rarely go into great detail. Hanneman mentions that “reportrubrics have been set up on purpose to be less student-friendly, but more industry friendly” [6].A similar emphasis is described later in Section III of this paper, while great concern andattention has been given to industry perspective of senior capstone projects. This “industry”concept may be relatively new to the students. Up to this point in their undergraduate career,students have largely focused their work solving a defined problem, formatted to their professor.Now, the

The typical SJSU graduate student (in any college) has a similar profile,but works full time and takes one or two classes per semester. The main issue this generates isbandwidth: SJSU students’ plates are so full that it is difficult to engage them in entrepreneurialactivities outside the classroom.

Suggestions include linking faculty evaluation to performance in ABET related duties, such as syllabus preparation in ABET format, periodic updating of syllabi, keeping up with course description changes and objective changes, and keeping up with new textbook editions. Some of the harder outcomes to fulfill require the active participation and input from the faculty. Examples include environmental issues, global
