The goal of these assignments wasthat students could either learn a new skill or improve upon what they had previously learned.The additional assignments included the following options: • SOLIDWORKS Tutorials – 3% each (up to 15%) • Build your own item – 5% each (up to 10%) • Build your own assembly – 15 % • Make your own tutorial – 10% • Learn to use a different CAD tool – 5%Each assignment required deliverables such as proof of completion, for example an engineeringdrawing of the item they built, and a written reflection on what they learned from completing theassignment. Students could earn up to 35% towards their CAD grade from any combination ofthe assignments they chose.Starting in week three of the

Experiential Leadership is a “field-study” course, which at our universitymeans that students follow a common syllabus and structure but do not meet regularly as a class.Students individualize the syllabus to meet their own learning objectives. In consultation withcourse instructors and their mentor, they select readings, podcasts and videos; identify andpursue activities that promote capability development; and track their progress. The assignmentsincorporate elements of reflection, narrative exploration, learning with others through teamwork,and learning from industry professionals [2]. The course is graded.To create the Leadership Development Plan, each student reviews the descriptions of the JHLPleadership

The “integration” approach weavestransferable skill development throughout the entire curriculum in a systematic manner [9,10].Pedagogical approaches like project-based learning, experiential learning, active learning, andinterdisciplinary collaboration have been used for transferable skill development [11].Additionally, many engineering courses rely on engineering design problems to develop skilltransferability in students [12,13]. Assessment methods employed to evaluate skill transferabilityare surveys and reflections [14], standardized tests [15], and

is key for students to develop the metacognitive skills needed for self-regulated learning [2] [3]. In the early years of the course, instructors could easily have conversations with individual students to help them reflect on their learning approach, provide feedback, and suggest new strategies. After a few years of expansion, these conversations tended to only happen with students during office hours. The first lecture of the course has always contained a section on metacognition, and as the course has evolved, the instructors have posted resources inspired by the metacognition literature [4] [5]. Students were encouraged to self-quiz themselves regularly and not cram for exams. They

. Professional identity is cultivated intentionally inschools of engineering [14]. It is further shaped by experiences in practice and involves not onlyexplicit knowledge, such as how to apply engineering principles, but also in implicit knowledgethat is learned from colleagues, mentors, and leaders in the organization [1]. Implicit knowledgeinforms PIF [1], [2], [4]. It is situated, that is, tied to the particular topic or problem that is beingsolved [15]. This knowledge is subsumed into the identity of professionals. Reflective practice asoutlined by Schön is also an aspect of PIF.

Infact the calculus of variations and the principle of least action were seen as teleological, meaning theyseem to reflect design and purpose. What we have learned from recent research in complex systems,nonlinear dynamics, and cellular automata is that relatively simple, but nonlinear, governing equationsand relationships among parts can lead to complex phenomena and also what has been called “emergentbehavior” or “self-organization”.This hypothetical watchmaker is where the engineer and educator come in.
