greaterthan 0.8. Based upon our anecdotal observations of working with problem teams, resolvingconflict, and motivating challenging students, we thought there would be a much lowerpercentage of respondents who reported levels of psychological safety above 0.80. That said, there is a large minority (41% of respondents) who we are classifying as having adifficult time (< 0.80). Part of the motivation for this study is to ensure students have positiveteamwork experiences, especially during the capstone project. The capstone project is the finaldress rehearsal for professional work, and we hope students enter professional life with the skillsand attitudes to work effectively in teams. The gender gap between male (0.82) and female (0.75

It also provided no mechanism for assessing individual learning orleadership development.In 2017, the original midterm and final projects were replaced with the Leadership PracticeProject (LPP). This new project was designed to help students apply their learning in real time.Each student identifies a team-based project on which they are already participating and thatrequires application of leadership concepts and skills learned in the course. Typical examplesinclude design competitions, capstone projects, and service activities through campusorganizations. In an effort to accommodate students with family and professional demands, wealso accept other types of projects, such as

Finally, organizational leadership focuses on using influence to help a unit,recognizing and developing the skills of others, and professional standards [19].The major program follows this same PITO model beginning with personal and interpersonalleadership stages. The three methods used in the Civil Engineering program are competitivesmall teams, senior seminar, and large teams. Also, many of the courses have projects nestedwithin them where students work together to lead each other as they complete the projects.

engineering students (approximately 4,500 seniors)spread across 15 departments, so assessing all senior capstone students is not feasible. For thisiteration of our research, we collected responses from students in as many different departmentsas possible, recognizing that the distribution of the survey is instructor dependent.At TAMU, all undergraduate engineering capstone projects are completed as team assignments,so students have the opportunity to develop and practice teamwork skills. However, theinstruction provided on psychological safety and effective teamwork varies greatly fromdepartment to department and even from instructor to instructor. TAMU has a selectiveleadership development program that includes instruction and practice in related

the specific context of engineering consulting by studying one mid-size, Canadianengineering services firm. More specifically, the research question we seek to address is who isidentified as a leader inside engineering consulting firms and why; for example, what skills,qualities or other attributes are recognized within the firm? By examining engineering leadershipin situ, we acknowledge the prospect that “engineering leadership” may be impacted by thecontext in which it is practiced. This work will support engineering educators in furtherunderstanding engineering leadership, particularly for Capstone, design, and other problem-based, project-based courses where students are meant to be situated in replicated professionalpractice

Most respondents started the year driven by theopportunity to gain experience and by the end of the course showed satisfaction with theopportunities for role placement, execution, and their individual and team success, though manyhad shifted to also be performance driven. The results encourage the strategy of allowing teamsto define, assign, and determine the rotations of their roles, and the importance of conductingperiodic assessments on their practices throughout the year to ensure fairness and success.IntroductionMulti and interdisciplinary engineering capstone courses provide students an opportunity to workwith design projects in teams from a variety of disciplines.

We decided to assess Dependability using the Team Rating survey studentsprovide of each member of their senior design team each term. Shown below in Table 1 is thecurrent Team Rating guide for senior design. Our senior capstone design spans three quarters,and the team members rate each other at the end of each of the three quarters using this guide.Students choose which of the following descriptors applies to each group member and providesan explanation why they chose this descriptor. After each student is rated, they are provided theresults and encouraged to use the feedback to improve

Proposals for embedding ethicsinstruction more integrally within engineering coursework have included increasing the emphasison human-centric approaches to design on engineering team projects [10, 17], mitigating orreducing the isolation of ethics instruction from other aspects of courses and projects [8, 13], andincreasing the use of experiential learning approaches for ethics instruction [12, 17 - 20], among 18 19others.

. Therefore, in an upper-division setting, it might be most appropriate in a project-based or capstone course. However, it could also be used in other upper-level technical coursesif students were encouraged to leverage the teachings in other project-based courses.Furthermore, this research took great efforts to create a model that could be widely applied. Itsmodular nature enables it to be easily integrated in existing courses, with required instructionalresources available in the Appendices. This facility also supports scaling the activities across abroad range of institutional settings. Finally, its use of identity as a core guiding framework maygive the instruction flexibility in being effective in a variety of settings. This is becauseregardless
