The full-time faculty member (author Farmer Cox) was atenure-track member of the Engineering Education department with an interest in the industrialenvironment and topics around engineering education, policy, and leadership. Her researchexplored the preparation of engineering Ph.D. students for careers in academia and industry.Informed from some of her research findings, this course addressed several issues of concern byengineering Ph.D. holders working in nonacademic

. This relationship with the faculty advisor matured into a research opportunity for Alice:"working on a daily basis with him really, really made a difference."A critical incident occurred during Alice’s leadership with Brian, the subsystem S lead. Alicetold us that Brian’s academic and team performance diminished during junior year. Nonetheless,Brian was selected as the subsystem S team lead which meant he would be permitted to do hiscapstone project with CTA. Concerns about Brian’s abilities led the team to put him in the leastcritical leadership position on the team, in control of subsystem S. Brian proved to beundependable and ultimately was asked to step down by Alice. This forced Brian to find anothercapstone project, with the full support

others whowork with individuals who are entering the STEM pipeline to provide specific guidance on thecore competencies and skills necessary, as well as those that an individual will need to maintainproficiency during their career.The need for qualified engineers is expected to increase over the next seven years, with theengineering field expected to grow by 8.6% between 2012 and 2022. The result will be over544,000 job openings due to growth and net replacements during that period. It is imperativethat clear and specific guidance is given to those individuals who may be suited to fill this needand will enter into the STEM pipeline. This session will highlight the new materials which canbe used by individuals, faculty, etc. to understand the

as to how the training modules or the underlying framework could contribute toproblem solving. However, tribal knowledge emerged as the most talked-about issue in thesedialogs and it became obvious that providing a plausible solution requires a different approachthan what is currently in place. Some of the most revealing discoveries are: • Most interviewees express deep concern over the loss of tribal knowledge in their respective firms. • All but one industrial interviewee admit that their companies do not have a systematic method to collect and store the field experience of veteran employees. Most companies require their employees to routinely document the lessons learned in work, however the policy is not strictly
