Leadership Self-Perception Assessment. In itsoriginal form, it consisted of 30 statements (see Appendix A), but after a focus group study, itwas revised to contain 31 statements (one deleted and two added, see Appendix B). In addition,the students answer seven demographics questions. The instrument asks students to respond tothe statements on a 5-point Likert Scale in which they examine how they perceive themselves inthinking and behavior pertaining to the leadership/entrepreneurial skills that are introduced andpracticed in the leadership curriculum. For that reason, the statements are worded in first-personso that students respond in regards to their perceptions of themselves as leaders rather than theirunderstanding what leadership “is” or “is

about 70 Taylor University engineering alumni whoparticipated in at least one of the three projects described (Satellite, Science Building, HighAltitude Ballooning). In order to assess the effectiveness of these projects for imbuing a spirit ofentrepreneurship in students, the following question was asked. This was based on definingentrepreneurship as “ideation, creation and implementation of solutions that could alter thefuture.”How well did working on the satellite/high altitude balloon/science building program help youunderstand that you can be part of making a significant difference in the world?

classroom while also seeking the additional knowledge required to create a valuable endproduct for their client. Engineers are hired to create value for their employer, and if a studentonly knows how to follow a syllabus, then they will not be prepared to anticipate unknownopportunities to create value. Learning core engineering skills is the single most important part ofan engineering education, and by teaching an entrepreneurial mindset through programs thatreinforce these skills, we are better preparing the innovators of tomorrow.ReferencesBarrett, T.

studentwork. Preliminary results show that four core “rules” (also known as emotional andcommunication messages for success) may in fact lead to misinterpretations and can sidetrackproductive engagement for creation and collaboration: a) Repeating for perfection: in fact,people report that they do not find flawless storytelling believable; b) Interacting one-on-onewithin a large audience: the opposite may be true when you apply a “planned spontaneous” andpersonally unique leadership approach in storytelling; c) Applying a template to tell andmemorize one story: in contrast, there are reasons to start in the middle of the story to find a newand powerful beginning; d) Describing a generic user story so as to only present a stereotype of apersona: both

requirement is addressed by asking the students to minimize thecost of the designed system.Perceived Solution and Physical Contradiction IdentificationSince the students learned how to program using physical ladder logic, they are asked toimplement their designs using this knowledge. Most of the designs are similar to the one shownin Figure 2. This exercise takes about 20 minutes to complete. At this time, the students identifythe main flow in the design during a discussion with the professor. According to Figures 1 and 2,as the clamping plate clamps the part it also closes LS A thus energizing SOL A, extending thecenter cylinder, and punching the part through. When the center cylinder extends fully it closesLS B which in turn energizes SOL B. At

The B-IRI:PT comprises four questions, IRI-08, IRI-11, IRI-25, and IRI-28.Thus, IRI:PT scores were computed based on four items, whereas ISE and INI scales wereanalyzed at the level of individual items.Next, the B-IRI:PT as well as the individual ISE and INI items were analyzed for differences indistribution between the paired and unpaired responses in the January and June datasets. Nostatistically significant differences were observed between the distributions of responses (p >0.05). However, the differences in responses to items ISE-2, ISE-5, ISE-6, and INI-3 approachedstatistical significance with p values below 0.1. Thus, in further analysis, it was
