(MLI) is a University-wide group formed by theExecutive Offices of the University in 1994. The purpose of MLI is to create a more intentional andintegrated approach to leadership and citizenship education. In August 1996, the MLI Board ofDirectors adopted a vision statement for leadership education at the University and appointed a taskforce to begin the work of conceptualizing a comprehensive approach to leadership and citizenshipeducation. Sections B through G below are excerpted from the report of the MLI task force.ivB. Framing Leadership and Citizenship Leadership has as many definitions as it does manifestations. In 1985, Bennis & Nanus citedover 300 definitions of leadership in their research. It is not surprising that

This new process (Fig 1b) is acontinuous process in which each wafer is processed individually in a tool that is constantlybleeding old etchant solution while gaining fresh solution. There are six processing chambers inthe tool, so the first wafer goes into chamber 1, the second to chamber 2 etc. It is notunreasonable to assume that all six chambers do not perform exactly alike, so the tool can bethought of as really six separate tools. a.

have been changes in the student culture. The Course of Study forAeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at The Ohio State University changed significantlyonce before, in 1970, when the university made a transition from a 5-year B. S. degree to whathad become the standard everywhere: the 4-year degree. Since that time, only minimal changeshave occurred.Though the curriculum has remained essentially static, the student world has changed dramat-ically. Sociologists have thoroughly documented many of those changes; one of the mostilluminating is the cultural analysis by Postman1 in a popular account of the cultural shifts due tothe impact of television.
