The knowledging process must beefficient for current society cannot afford an elaborate inefficient use of limited monetary re-sources. The process must be responsible to survive as a viable and pragmatic bureaucratic or-ganization.In this era of knowledging, the preeminent person to be named dean of engineering is aleader/administrator that has performed in the best, responsible manner for a number of years.

Even withthe formal training programs, United States Military Academy (USMA) new faculty areexpected to continue to learn a lot about the basics of leading classroom instructionthroughout their first and second semesters of teaching.

Utilizing real-world problems as a stimulus forstudent learning is not at all new and has been in practice for a very long time. Educators haveunderstood that scholars have defined problem-based learning as minds-on, hands-on, focused,experiential learning. Instructors have also been encouraged to act as cognitive coaches who cannurture an environment that can support open inquiry.

One of the most important motivators that help girls determine what field to go intois the ability to make a difference, yet their understanding of engineering comes from themessages they hear that engineering is challenging, difficult but rewarding, and uses math andscience to solve problems.5 If this perception can be changed through exposure to theengineering fields that best exemplify this ability to make a difference and impact lives, femalesmay be more likely to go into engineering.This paper discusses a service-learning outreach assignment

(2) Bridging: understanding the skill begins byusing it, generally on a familiar situation. (3) Application: confidence and competence with theskill are strengthened by extending the use to a new situation.

Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in
