the community, and 3) enabling students to practice autonomy and personalresponsibility in directing their own learning.Servant-Leadership is a leadership paradigm established by Robert Greenleaf in the 1970’s thatemphasizes power sharing in decision making processes. It also encourages leaders to servethose they manage by gently guiding and propelling them toward high achievement andaccomplishment while promoting their growth and self-efficacy. Servant-Leadership advocates ahierarchical structure different from the classical top-down management pyramid often seen inindustry and academia. In industry, management rests at the top of the structure supported byworkers, and in academia, teachers are authority figures with control over content

To upgrade all students skills, the leadoperator(s) of each piece of major equipment led a short workshop on using that peice ofequipment. Students attending the workshops were enthusiastic about the training. As shown inTable 1, Question 1, students ranked their base knowledge of operating the laboratory equipmentrelatively high (5.9 out of 8), but still felt that the workshops significantly improved their skills.

The numbering convention on the construction plan sheets begins with the first letter of the structural element, e.g. if the rebar is going to be used in an abutment then the first character will be the letter A. Likewise, if the structural element is a pier the first letter will be P. The following list illustrates typical beginning letters: Abutment / Wingwalls = A Pier = P Deck (Slab) = S Diaphragms = D Parapets and End Posts = EP The next character in the reinforcing bar numbering convention is the size of the rebar to be used at that location

with the need to increase production volumes andto make inroads elsewhere. Also, in the mid-1970’s, when the inability of a French or Germanconsumer of British equipment to fit his 13mm nut on a British ½ in. bolt was enough reason toreject British equipment and buy elsewhere, it became clear to the British engineer thatmetrication was the way to go.Another equally important reality of global interdependence is the need for the unfettered butregulated movement of professional expertise across national borders (Ramos1, Van Damme2,Jones3). To accomplish this, there is the need to equip engineering students with the knowledgeof how the profession is practiced in other countries in preparation for their future participation inglobal practice.

the uncertainty.Recap of Error Propagation Analysis. The basic idea in error propagation analysis (EPA) is therecognition of direct and indirect measurements. An indirect measurement is calculated from adirect measurement. Assume that m independent direct measurements, the set of wi s below,contribute to an indirect measurement, z. The measurement formula is then merely the functionused to calculate the z, z = z (w1 , w2 ,⋅ ⋅ ⋅ wm ) (10)The operational concepts of EPA are incorporated in two equations. The first addresses how theuncertainty in the indirect measurement z (i. e., the dependent variable) is caused by theuncertainty in some more directly measured variable, w (i. e., an
