second research questionFor the second research question, faculty and industry acceptance of smaller lathes as viablealternatives to their industrial size cousins was explored. The ability of the smaller bench-toplathes to perform accurate work was explored in the pilot study. It would appear, based on theresults from this limited pilot study, that both the bench-top and the industrial lathes are capableof producing test bushings within the specified .005” tolerance range. It should be noted,however, that this pilot study was the result of tests done by only two graduate students, and anexpanded study utilizing a much larger cross section of technology students would be necessaryto determine whether the initial findings could be replicated

The Fellows commit 15 hours each week to this project, so they play a key rolein the delivery of science education that is well outside what can be expected of faculty orcommunity volunteers. As an example, Oregon has mandated a CIM (Certificate of InitialMastery) and CAM (Certificate of Advanced Mastery) system which will become a necessarycomponent for high school graduation in the near future. There are various requirements for eachCAM, but the main component is a “professional work experience” for each student. A GK-12Fellow has worked with North Eugene High School to develop the CAM Engineering program,by helping

Therefore, in exploring leader social styles, we pose the following research question: Are some leadership styles better than others when initiating and promoting change initiatives?In academic settings, an important individual characteristic of team leaders is tenure status.Among the faculty in a university, those that have tenure track positions, but have yet to gaintenure, are under great pressure to be productive compared to their tenured peers (Miller, Taylor,& Bedeian, 2011).

socialization factors play a more major role in the decision of boys to pursue engineering as a career rather than their abilities in the science and math.• Cultural Differences: Women students in Kerala do not face the same pressures as their Western counterparts in the social sphere because of an absence of peer pressure to date or socialize. Kerala is still a traditional society, where arranged marriages are the norm rather than the exception.• Economic factors: The economics of the region can also be a major factor that is contributing to the higher percentages of women in engineering.
