The importance of leadership is widely recognized but rarely addressed in engineering education. Based on readings from Lincoln on Leadership, we engaged students in ten discussion sessions regarding key characteristics of an effective leader. We developed and continually refined our definition of a great leader and a vision statement for our research group. In this paper we document our leadership discussion approach, including subjects covered and discussion questions. We share selected results and student feedback on the effectiveness of this approach. We trust that by sharing our efforts and resources, others will be encouraged and better enabled to engage their students in discussing leadership concepts. 相似文献

AbstractThe effectiveness of using teams to improve an organization's performance has been well documented in both the public and private sectors. Typically, however, an assessment of how well a team is functioning is based solely upon external quantitative measures such as the number of customers served, the number of defective units produced, and other cost, schedule, and performance numbers. While these traditional measures are important to management's assessment of a team's performance, they do not give a complete picture of the team's overall long-term performance potential. In this article, the internal “team health” of a team is defined and postulated to have an impact on the team's long-term performance. Current research is documented that seeks to determine if a positive relationship exists between a team's health and its performance. 相似文献

共享心智模型对团队绩效影响的现场研究 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
本研究采用路径搜索的方法对22个团队共享心智模型进行了测量,并考察了两类共享心智模型(任务模型与团队模型)与团队绩效间的关系。相关分析和层级回归结果显示:任务模型的相似性和准确性分别与团队绩效有显著相关,同时团队模型的相似性越高,团队绩效越高,团队模型的准确性也对团队绩效有显著预测效应,但共享心智模型的相似性和准确性没有对团队绩效产生交互作用。 相似文献

In a continuing study under way at North Carolina State University, a cohort of students took five chemical engineering courses taught by the same instructor in five consecutive semesters. This report examines gender differences in the students' academic performance, persistence in chemical engineering, and attitudes toward their education and themselves. The women in the study on average entered chemical engineering with credentials equal to or better than those of the men, but exhibited an erosion relative to the men in both academic performance and confidence as they progressed through the curriculum. Possible causes of the observed disparities are suggested and remedial measures are proposed. 相似文献

The Myers‐Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) was administered to a group of 116 students taking the introductory chemical engineering course at North Carolina State University. That course and four subsequent chemical engineering courses were taught in a manner that emphasized active and cooperative learning and inductive presentation of course material. Type differences in various academic performance measures and attitudes were noted as the students progressed through the curriculum. The observations were generally consistent with the predictions of type theory, and the experimental instructional approach appeared to improve the performance of MBTI types (extraverts, sensors, and feelers) found in previous studies to be disadvantaged in the engineering curriculum. The conclusion is that the MBTI is a useful tool for helping engineering instructors and advisors to understand their students and to design instruction that can benefit all of them. 相似文献

Assessment of student performance has become a fundamental aspect of teaching and learning and a key task for engineering educators under new ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) engineering accreditation requirements. Assessment of performance also provides new challenges for many faculty. The purpose of this paper is to fill a void in the literature and assist faculty to meet part of the performance assessment development challenge. Specifically, this paper focuses on a critical feature of performance assessment—the development of scoring criteria. Straightforward guidelines for designing scoring criteria are provided from recent project experiences of the authors. Sample scoring criteria are also provided along with a concrete project example illustrating the development process in an engineering education context. 相似文献

The effects of physical environment on the performance of student teams were evaluated in a timed case study. Six teams worked on an intensive three‐hour problem‐solving event as part of their term project. Successful completion of the project depended on using engineering skills to solve an open‐ended technical problem and produce a one‐page memo defining the solution. The skills needed for this exercise included searching electronic databases for relevant information, analyzing journal publications, developing a kinetic model, applying the model to the problem, making team decisions, and communicating the results in a written product. Three teams performed the exercise in a technology‐training classroom (treatment group), newly constructed and flexibly furnished to accommodate interaction and electronic communication. The remaining three teams (control group) were to find any available space within the Engineering complex. The technology classroom featured flexible, team‐friendly furnishing, and laptop computers with wireless Ethernet connections, giving the students access to Internet database resources and nearby printers. None of the teams selecting their own space chose to work in a traditional classroom. Rather, they all migrated to space that could be used for group discussion, and left these areas to get access to other resources. All groups performed well as teams, probably due to the team training that had been provided to the class prior to the exercise. The three treatment teams in the technology classroom scored significantly better on technical content and communicating their work product in memo form than the control group. 相似文献

Two groups of engineering students were tested for spatial ability (Mental Rotation Test = MRT). There were sex differences favouring males, similar to those seen in other academic programs. There were no significant sex differences in academic course performance, suggesting that differences in spatial ability as measured by the MRT do not have an impact on course performance. In addition, minimal experience with the mental rotation task produced large gains in performance and reduced the magnitude of sex differences. The results suggest that sweeping statements about the relation between differences in spatial ability and performance in science and mathematics subject areas, especially with reference to females, must be viewed with caution. 相似文献

Many engineering faculty believe that when students perceive a course to have a high workload, students will rate the course and the performance of the course instructor poorly. This belief can be particularly worrying to engineering faculty since engineering courses are often perceived as uniquely demanding. The present investigation demonstrated that student ratings of workload and of overall instructor performance in engineering courses were not correlated (e.g., Spearman's rho = 0.068) in data sets from either of two institutions. In contrast, a number of evaluation items were strongly correlated (Spearman's rho = 0.7 to 0.899) with ratings of overall instructor performance across engineering, mathematics and science, and humanities courses. The results of the present study provide motivation for faculty seeking to improve their teaching and course evaluations to focus on teaching methods, organization/preparation, and interactions with students, rather than course workload. 相似文献

A cohort of chemical engineering students has been taught in an experimental sequence of five chemical engineering courses, beginning with the introductory course in the Fall 1990 semester. Differences in academic performance have been observed between students from rural and small town backgrounds (“rural students,” N=55) and students from urban and suburban backgrounds (“urban students,” N=65), with the urban students doing better on almost every measure investigated. In the introductory course, 80% of the urban students and 55% of the rural students passed with a grade of C or better, with average grades of 2.63 for the urban students and 1.80 for the rural students (A=4.0). The urban group continued to earn higher grades in subsequent chemical engineering courses. After four years, 79% of the urban students and 64% of the rural students had graduated or were still enrolled in chemical engineering; the others had either transferred out of engineering or were no longer attending the university. This paper presents data on the students' home and school backgrounds and speculates on possible causes of observed performance differences between the two populations. 相似文献
