interdisciplinary student teams have some unique challenges. Since this might well be thefirst time that students have worked with an interdisciplinary team on a significantly challengingtask, they may find it surprising that disciplines tend to cultivate characteristics. For example,chemical engineers tend to focus on mass and energy balances and view the process in terms ofbalances; they will, in most cases, be confused about how what they view as a process will in anyway integrate with an electronic circuit. The mechanical engineers will want to see machineswhen they look at their device, if they don’t, they might not relate. Likewise, the electricalengineers will want to reduce the process and the machines to electrical circuit components.Such can

NDT technologies. The first stage of the plan was todetermine those NDT procedures which have the most potential use in civil engineering andcould readily be adapted to classroom applications. The second step was to locate suppliers anddetermine the financial cost vs. teaching benefits. The third step was simply the acquisition andde-bugging of the equipment. The final step was to develop lab procedures which could easilybe integrated into the current curriculum.NDT is still considered an emerging field in civil engineering, thus it is difficult to determine thefull impact of these procedures. However, on a smaller scale the success of these methods isindisputable. During the careers of the current generation of civil engineers NDT methods

However, it canbe challenging to fit many laboratory-specific courses into an engineering curriculum at aliberal-arts focused institution; leading faculty to adopt a mixture of in-class, virtual, take-home,or homework-style lab experiences [3]. One area where these experiences can be particularlyuseful is in control systems education, as students may struggle to bridge

Participants in this study consisted of freshmen engineeringstudents enrolled in a first-semester introduction to engineering course at the University of SouthCarolina. A grounded theory approach was used, in which instructional activities and datacollection processes occurred concurrently, were guided by one another, and developed over thecourse of the study. The phrase “social media engineering leadership” is developed within thispaper to include social media mediated communication within an engineering leadership context.The results of this study suggest that social media engineering
