‘data’ from various assessmentinstruments, including Myers-Briggs, Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior(FIRO-B), and 360-degree feedback. These assessments enable students to better understandtheir own tendencies and their impact on others. This is quite different from a more traditionalapproach involving the identification and discussion of core values2. This approach is deliberateand provides students with practical tools and concepts that they can quickly use to increase theireffectiveness in both their class projects as well as their professional work. These early positiveoutcomes reinforce the value of the leadership training and also motivate students who areinitially doubtful of the value.In our view, teaching and

Raper, received the B.S., (1985) M.S., (1987) and Ph.D. (1989) degrees in Engineering Man- agement from the University of Missouri-Rolla. Stephen graduated from Republic high school in 1978 and enlisted in the United States Air Force, serving 4 years and also began his higher education pursuits on a part-time basis. During his transfer enrollment visit to UMR, he met Professor Bernie Sarchet and quickly knew that he wanted to study Engineering Management. His experiences outside of the university and the military include an

reflective of the UTPA student demographics. Thirteen of the 15 studentsidentified themselves as Hispanic and two students identified themselves in the Other category.One of the students who selected the other category specified Latino. Thus 14 out of 15 or 93%of the students were Hispanic. Male students comprised 60% of the course. Two-thirds of thestudents reported a family income of $60,000 or less. An interesting statistic is that only 6.7% ofthe students responding had English as a first language.Table 2 contains the evaluation of student performance for the first DOE laboratory. Studentperformance was classified as either exceptional, effective, acceptable or unsatisfactory. Theselevels of performance correspond to approximately A-level, B

ABET (a) through (k) are given here (ABET Criteria, 2010): Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain the following outcomes: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering
is a course-based graduate program that can be completed on a fullor part-time basis and draws on the expertise of both the Faculty of Engineering and AppliedScience and the Faculty of Business Administration. The completion of twelve courses results ina Master of Engineering Management, or MEM, degree. The program consists of five coursesoffered by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, five courses offered by the Facultyof Business Administration, and a two-course project. These courses are shown in Table 1.To be eligible for the program, applicants must have a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor ofScience degree in an engineering discipline from a university of recognized standing, with acumulative B-average.
