Their CoP developed out ofthe need to create momentum for activities following a leadership development workshop. Withsome member turnover annually, they have managed to establish a core group that come from alllayers of the organization with a shared passion in leadership.Designing and Cultivating a Conceptual CoP FrameworkKerno and Mace [7] provide a thorough overview of a theoretical framework for learningtogether.

They accomplish this by: organizing for interaction andinterdependency (see physical structures at IDEO or Apple, for example); heterogeneity (assources of interacting ideas); task related conflicts (conflict of ideas rather than personality);decentralized systems; psychologically safe environments; adaptive pressure (pressure tochange or elaborate, for example); conflicting constraints (achievement of agent A’s goalshampers the goals of agent B, thus creating pressure); cliques (a tightly connected group ofthree or more agents, in the meantime the group is also connected with other parts of thenetwork, as

This tenet is achieved through interdisciplinary courses,technology development and community activities. Essentially, the education of MIT D-Lab belongs to the category of macro engineeringethics education. Therefore, when summarizing the educational tenets and goals of MIT D-Lab, we can get inspiration from the research results of scholars such as Newberry and Haws.Newberry (2004) condensed these goals into three broad categories; (a) emotionalengagement or wanting to be ethical, (b) intellectual engagement or knowing how to beethical, and (c) particular knowledge or the discipline specific knowledge of

Development Process and Sample ContentAs mentioned earlier, there were two short courses offered as a part of the ATE grant. Thecourse development process involved multiple steps as outlined below. First, an initial outline fora two and half day course was prepared and presented at the industry advisory board (IAB)meeting of Manufacturing Center of Excellence at HCC. While IAB members liked the overallcontent, it was suggested that the course be reduced to two-day from two and half-day. FurtherIAB members also suggested to prepare more focused courses on a specific topic rather than ageneral topic. In the next step, the initial general manufacturing topics were divided into twoshort courses focused on: a) manufacturing quality and b) manufacturing

These project-based courses were acombination of fundamental problem solving (teaming, programming basics, units, mechanics,statistics, etc.) and instruction in basic engineering graphics (orthographic projection,dimensioning, tolerances, CAD software skills, etc.). These courses were divided into threetracks for the purposes of providing specific topics of interest to different departments. Track A(primarily Civil, Mechanical, and Aerospace) focused on mechanics, and graphics instructionincluded AutoCAD and SolidWorks.

For each program, the relative academic performance of the engineeringstudents who participated in the LC program is compared to those engineering students who did not participate.
