While surveys of recent graduates and engineering department heads support thecontention that these approaches are preparing engineers to write, another survey of industrymanagers refutes that contention. In 2012, an ASME survey of 590 early career engineers foundthat 75 percent assessed their own preparation of engineering writing as sufficient or strong [6].In that same ASME study, a survey of 42 heads of mechanical engineering departments acrossthe United States found that 65 percent viewed their communication programs as strong orsuccessful at preparing engineering students to communicate. In contrast, that same ASME studyconducted a survey of 647 industry supervisors and found

Paper ID #25584Work in Progress: Exploring the Attributes of a Prototypical Leader AsViewed by Undergraduate Engineering StudentsProf. Carmen Maria Lilley, University of Illinois, Chicago Dr. Lilley’s research interests in engineering education focus on professional development of engineering students at the undergraduate and graduate level. In particular, she is interested in the nuances of how the intersection of race/ethnicity with gender affects professional development in the area of leadership and the long term career trajectory of an individual. Her other research interests are focused on syntheses of low

Following training, students are given access to the department maker space, whichfeatures 3-D printers, circuit fabrication stations, and hand and power tools. Approximately 50%of the lecture topics in the course provide a survey of biomedical engineering careers paths andour curriculum, and the remaining lecture topics relate to the design project. These includepresentations covering computer-aided drawing, electric circuits, cardiovascular physiology, andengineering standards. Laboratory activities provide practice in developing skills in usingSolidWorks (Dassault Systemes), making electrical measurements, fabricating circuits, and using3-D printers.

All of our undergrads are great role models, and this is a chance to introduce K-12 students to technical areas and careers that they might have not considered. It is also an exercisein problem-based learning. Undergrads must decide what they need to learn, then figure out how tolearn it and then how to teach the material. Our undergraduate students also have the opportunity topractice communication skills with people who possess little technical knowledge. In addition, theyalso have to work in a group setting, towards a common goal and they have to critically assess theirown performance, as well as the performance of others.The project has the following
