Connected Through Servant LeadershipAbstractServant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm that emphasizes power sharing in decision makingprocesses. It also encourages leaders to serve those they manage by propelling them toward highachievement while promoting their professional growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership isalso being pioneered as a teaching pedagogy at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, anapproach that is unique because most academic institutions subscribe instead to the service-learning model. In conventional academic settings, instructors are the authority figures withcontrol over content, knowledge, assessment, and course outcomes. By contrast, servant-leadership places instructors at the bottom of an inverted power pyramid

Students get so good at this “team dance” thatthey are not aware of the important issues that they are avoiding11.Language, self-efficacy, and leadership rolesThe typical model that students have of an engineering leader is that of “the boss.” Students donot differentiate between leadership and management authority. This interpretation affects theirself-perception of their own leadership potential. The concept of leadership is one miss-generalized to all situations. Therefore; since the students cannot see themselves in powerfulpositions until well into the future, they have not considered their own personal skills andabilities (efficacy) in regards to leadership12, 13, 14.The necessary step in the

Epistemic belief, which reflects students’ views on the nature ofknowledge and knowing, plays a crucial role in the cognitive, metacognitive, and affectivedimensions of students’ learning. Research has demonstrated that interventions targeting epistemicbeliefs can significantly enhance learning outcomes (Greene et al., 2018). Epistemic cognition -mostly measured in terms of belief (Greene et al., 2018) – is identified as the apex of

This manifested itself mainly through the formalevaluation of the camp, and the distribution of the post-camp survey to the participants. While allcamps were motivated by the same frameworks, only the in-person camp resulted in a complete(pre and post) set of survey results.

Additionally, some prior researchsuggests that practicing and prospective educators may have difficulty planning, designing, andimplementing lessons and activities that develop and promote children’s HoM as engineers [12]-[13]. This may be due to several reasons such as lack of readiness to teach engineering [14], lowengineering self-efficacy and low teacher efficacy related to engineering pedagogical contentknowledge [15], lack of engineering pedagogical content knowledge [16], and misconceptionsregarding the field of engineering [17].Out-of-school learning environments may be an alternative

This paper specifically addresses how the prototypingstrategies impacted design complexity and CAD software feature use and is compared tocompetition performance.

The parallel prototyping strategy employed by Dow et al. shows somebenefits over an iterative strategy, but there is a lack of supporting empirical evidence. The workin this paper aims to provide evidence for the benefits and limitations of these two prototypingstrategies through an undergraduate engineering design project for physical products.Beyond an iterative or parallel approach, researchers have outlined other strategies for aneffective prototyping process.

Moving forward, we aim to develop instruments or adapt published instruments thatmore objectively measure student self-efficacy toward design [19] for use in our program and,more generally, in the context of biomedical engineering education. Bandura proposes four mainsources of efficacy information: performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbalpersuasion, and physiological states [20].

In the context of construction education, themore confident students feel about their mastery of sustainable materials and methods, the moreinclined they will be to advocate for and implement these approaches in professional settings (Bhati& Sethy, 2022).
