In this work, the optimizationalgorithm for design team selection includes an objective that maximizes the diversity of theMBTI characteristics of the team, while incentivizing the selection of a leader (or leaders) oneach team. A leader is considered to be either: a) A single student with an MBTI personality type that includes EN (Extroverted INtuitor), corresponding to a leadership score of 1; or b) Two students, each with an MBTI personality type that includes IN (Introverted INtuitor) and EF (Extroverted Feeler), corresponding to a leadership score of 0.1 and 0.9, respectively.An EN personality is generally creative, social, and logical, and capable of seeing “the bigpicture” 11– all traits that make strong

For example, Student A selectedthe competency “Is an Effective Listener” as the improvement category for Student B, and thenprovided the following statement. “Having more time to work with team members.”This written statement does not match the selected competency, as it is not relevant to listeningskills. This set was considered miscategorized and was reassigned into the correct competency:“Is Effective in Time Management.” We coded the seventeen (17) qualitative feedback competencies into three skillconstructs: teamwork, professionalism, and core performance based on the underlying focus ofthe competency and the ways in which it contributes to student

And one of the things that stuckout to me was – one of the guys said, “Unlike in high school where the guys who are almostflunking are getting a tutor, the A and B students out here are the people who are in the tutoringclasses all the time.” And it only took me about a week to figure that out. But from then on, Iwas in the help lab and stuff for math, and it worked…And [The African American Symposium]helped me out as far as networking, because …I met all these people that were in my field.

global competition and scientific breakthroughs.…companies want to increase the proportion of their innovation that is “break-through” or“disruptive” as opposed to incremental. 5”Observation 1: faculty are most comfortable teaching the technical – a. faculty are recruited, rewarded and promoted primarily based on their potential and ability to create new knowledge and expand their technical expertise and esteem; b. teaching priorities have traditionally focused on delivering the “hard” skills rooted in math, science and engineering fundamentals including design, problem-solving and analytical components. We know from our own faculty that they do value teaching and student learning. They agree that the non-technical, leadership

Both industry and academia benefit by developing keyrelationships on a global scale. As more engineers are needed with global collaborative skills,efforts like the SGDC can develop engineers to face the needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s)industry.The students in the pilot showed a significant increase in their understanding of cross-culturalcommunication and globalization.

These questions will ask about the students’ perceptions ofstudy abroad and probe why those that did not participate did not pursue overseas study: 1. Were you made aware of study abroad opportunities? 2. Did you study abroad during your time at Villanova? a. Would you describe the experience as positive? Explain. b. What type of program did you participate in (summer, semester)? 3. If you did not study abroad, indicate why you did not (for example, you may not have had an interest, your GPA may have been too low to qualify, etc.).The academic indicators have been studied and these
