The Engineering Leadership Program is entering its fourth year as a co-curricular program at Iowa State University. It is a values-based learning community for engineering students passionate about contributing to their communities, locally or globally. As the program has grown from 15 to over 80 scholars, it has experienced creative challenges such as retaining a sense of community, succession planning,...
Engineers must not only have design and technical skills, they must also possess the ability to work in and lead teams, adopt and adapt to change, and act as leaders who can think in terms of the bigger picture. To develop these skills, engineering students must be actively involved in their education and trained to continually learn. Many engineering students have become accustomed to traditional...
There is agreement on the need for change in engineering education, but lacking are the motivation, knowledge, or skills to effect change. With that in mind, we held a workshop in June 2009 that sought to engage faculty members who are change leaders. Over the two-day workshop, we solicited their views on departmental and institutional challenges, the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) necessary...
A National Science Foundation funded national symposium was conducted with the primary focus of stimulating a national dialogue on establishing engineering education opportunities in colleges of engineering in the U.S. The symposium highlighted opportunities and challenges of four institutions with engineering education programs and brought in key stakeholders to investigate the past, present, and...
Freshman engineering design students were given the problem of seeking a kite-based lifting platform that incorporated a camera system for aerial imaging purposes. The unique nature of the assignment lies in its support of precision agriculture efforts on campus by reducing cost and difficulty of operation for an aerial imaging platform.
