One significant outcome of the new Core reflects theUniversity’s commitment to Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice (DISJ). Whereas studentspreviously were required to take a single Diversity course, the new Core requires students to taketwo Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DISJ) courses recognizing a developmental modelof achieving these outcomes.

With today’s technological advances,designing a laboratory course that addresses all of these constraints is more feasible than ever.However, many existing laboratory courses and off the shelf modules violate one or more ofthese constraints, and therefore fail to deliver an optimal lab experience.There are two opposing routes to take when designing an undergraduate controls laboratory: usecommercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware and accompanying software, or design the hardwareand use or design open source software.

Lexical diversity can beseen as measure for how varied the structure of speech is and this category of assessment hassignificant research history within the field of linguistics. This indicator reflects lexical diversityby relating the total number of lexical words used (T) in a text sample with the number of uniquelexical words used (N).

A group of twenty-seven engineering and engineering technology studentswho were part of a scholarship program was asked to submit journal entries in which theyreflected on their fears and anxieties related to their participation in their degree program.Prominent themes which emerged from student reflection included time management and itseffects on academics and social activities, the likelihood of degree completion and success inengineering-specific coursework (e.g. senior capstone projects), and aspects of life followinggraduation such as handling accumulated

By clearlyarticulating and capturing on paper what their initial concepts or misconceptions are, and thendiscussing the actual results in comparison with their initial ideas, students’ are more likely torecognize any previous misconceptions as incorrect understandings.Students need to be engaged in and monitor their own learning process, referred to as meta-cognition.

Starting the process of developing self-authorship for students at the freshman level will be beneficial in laying the groundwork forthem to continue the development throughout their undergraduate education1.To address this need, we modified an elective first year survey course, Engineering (Engr.) 110.This change reflects an initial effort to educate the

What this lack of definability likely means is leadership ismultifaceted, needing to be defined and bounded within the context in which the process is beingexamined. As such, the literature on leadership within particular domains (like engineering) tendsto reflect consensus, in spite of a lack of broader consensus across the field of leadership.While definitions of leadership vary widely, they can largely be placed into one of two groups.The first group, include those definitions that look at leadership as a set of traits that the mostsuccessful leaders have, the trait theories [11]. These theories of leadership have largely fallen outof favor in western cultures over the past one – two generations [12]. During
