curves.28This problem can be made more effectual by converting it to a PBL assignment. The followingPBL assignment has been used at Lawrence Technological University in Michigan: You purchased a primitive cabin “up north” situated in the forest near a lake. It has no plumbing and you’d like to upgrade the cabin and turn it into a quaint vacation retreat. Referring to Figure 3, design the water supply system for the cabin meeting the following expectations: Two story cabin approximately 30 ft above the lake. Meet basic water needs for comfortable living (i.e., at least shower, faucet(s), etc.) Each water consumption unit can be controlled independently, and also
for the students to apply and reflect on their developing leadership abilities.Experts in the engineering leadership programs however expressed concern about the ability ofcurrent engineering faculty to deliver effective leadership programs and the difficulties ofidentifying external and suitably qualified staff.Graham et al.’s study also identifies strong themes in engineering leadership education. Theglobal theme was found to be particularly strong within U.S. programs: the ability to workeffectively across cultures in an international sphere was seen by many as an increasingly vitalattribute of an engineer-leader, and is reflected in many of the programs. Another strong themewas student empowerment in their own leadership

author and reviewer(s) were selected for analysis. 3.3 Analytical Framework Student comments were coded using a typology based on Smith Taylor [20], [21] and Smithand Patton’s [22] work characterizing engineering instructor comments and Straub andLunsford’s [19] characterization of expert writing teacher comments. Each comment was coded Page 26.1482.10along three axes: focus, mode, and tone. The focus of a comment identifies what the commentrefers to in the original text; mode and tone refer to the qualities of the comment itself.Focus Categorizations of comment focus include form, content, and extra-textual.

directlyexplained in the sign. In that sense, analyzing the meaning(s) of images (e.g., cartoon drawings)is comparable to analyzing texts (e.g., a peer-reviewed academic article). Both require the viewerto understand the exact words or depictions (signifiers) while also “reading between the lines” tointerpret indirect meanings embedded in the sign. Signifieds, for example, can include sarcasm,irony, absurdity, double entendre, or other implied meanings. These meanings can only beunderstood through the reader’s awareness both of the social context and of the fact that thesignifiers are not intended to stand alone.Signs are only interpretable with knowledge of social context; cartoons therefore require viewersto understand the norms and debates in the

of papers implementing surveys started in 1994by Todd and Magleby et al. [4] that was followed up by Howe. S. et al. in 2010 [5] and 2015 [6],[7] respectively. The work from Howe, which can be found in the ASEE database, is more recentand relevant to this work. In 2015 Howe did both a qualitative and quantitative analysis ofsurvey results from 256 ABET accredited institutions executing Capstone projects in 464 distinctdepartments for a total of 522 respondents. This work looked at many aspects of the Capstoneexperience. One interesting reported observation was how various programs and institutionsvalued “process vs. product” in the final outcomes of a Capstone experience. Howe alsoexamined the number of semesters to complete, age of Capstone

try and control for a variable such as “committed to diversity”, we compiled someadditional evidence that compares data from the one college that mandated attendance in2005 (the College of Letters & Sciences (L&S)) to other departments in the University.Because the Dean of L&S made attendance at the Searching for Excellence & Diversityworkshops mandatory in 2005 before he would release a faculty position, for the first timewe encountered workshop participants who were actively antagonistic to the messages andspirit of the workshop. Yet, even though some participants in L&S may not have been“committed to diversity”, L&S still showed increases in their offers to women andminorities, and the percentage of new hires who

This was the presentation of literaturefindings on possible types of classroom engineering activities with gender/minority sensitivityfor awareness of future courses and careers related to engineering disciplines. Such suggestedactivities included: 1) take apart (and maybe rebuild) items such as appliances, cell phones, andcomputers; 2) learn about the engineering design process in terms of how a component(s) of afamiliar system, such as a bicycle or running shoe, are engineered from concept tomanufacturing; 3) redesign common household objects to meet the needs of children, women/minorities, and the elderly; 4

We determined this by analyzing theactivities which Mr. Q. used in the classroom: videos, guest speakers, and the selection of topicsof the various activities and Mr. Q.’s awareness of gender issues.None of the selected videos included female
