The TH!NKinitiative is part of the North Carolina State University's five year Quality Enhancement Plan(QEP). This initiative is designed to train faculty to utilize strategies that cultivate students’ criticaland creative thinking in the classroom. TH!NK provides a comprehensive framework forimplementing strategies that support higher-order thinking skills through faculty training,mentoring, and formal assessment of student learning outcomes. In TH!NK courses, students areintroduced to and given opportunities to evaluate their own work

semester-long projects by the end of the term. Formany years, non-completion of projects or personality problems within teams was rare – perhapsone out of a hundred per semester. Recently, more teams have been having trouble, and thecourse has been growing as well. For instance, we had 15 cases of non-completion in Fall 2013and 11 cases in Spring 2014. In our summer 2014 planning meetings, we decided that somethingneeded to be done to address teamwork as a learnable skill because it is such an integral part ofengineering.In our opinion, the higher rate of non-completion was mostly due to current students havingdifficulties with communicating face-to-face; the skill set required to discuss how to jointly dotheir projects is sorely lacking in

educational objective of the E-Lead degree is to developengineers into leaders with engineering domain knowledge, broad leadership knowledge, and theability to inspire and lead others. But E-Lead goes well beyond being a program, an initiative, ora cluster of classes added to a degree plan. The E-Lead program also develops a culture wherestudents actively contribute to their own education and where individual contributions are valuedand important. E-Lead students strive for excellence because they have a sense of ownership andpower over their own education.

Verbalpersuasion is most effective at increasing self-efficacy when the one doing the persuading is seenas an expert [13]. Exposure to verbal persuasion is also likely to be low for pre-serviceelementary teachers, as engineering design is not a focus of the pre-service curriculum. A majorexception to this, as with mastery experience, would be those in the section of the sciencemethods course at Purdue University that utilizes engineering design.

In addition, logic models can be used as a framework,to focus data collection on the specified program activities and expected outcomes, to determineappropriate methods for data collection, and to organize and interpret data in terms of aframework [22]. When no logic model exists, evaluators may develop a logic model to describethe program visually. Logic models can be a useful tool for communicating the nature of aprogram to stakeholders. The use of logic models has been found to contribute to clarity in goals,alignment of activities with goals, communication about the program, and
