Shared Leadership in Mechanical Engineering-Centric Capstone Design Teams: A Comparison of Military and Civilian Engineering Programs

In search of a definition and frameworks for engineering leadership development

“…They used the consolidated instrument to study student team effectiveness and leadership of graduate teaching assistants and faculty advisors (Novoselich et al., 2016). They also used this instrument to explore leadership styles among students enrolled in military and civilian engineering programs (Novoselich & Knight, 2016).…”

“…The research team of Novoselich and Knight (2015, 2016) conducted various studies using the full range of leadership model in studying mechanical engineering students in capstone design courses. The team simplified the accompanying multi‐factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) to statements that apply in an engineering capstone design team setting (Novoselich & Knight, 2015).…”

Institutional Agents' Roles in Serving Student Veterans and Implications for Student Veterans in Engineering

“…The establishment of the Military and Veterans division within the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) affirms the growing interest in student veterans in engineering. Prior work describes the various pathways from the military to engineering education [28] and indicates that leadership skills and experiences acquired in the military play an important role in the academic experiences and success of SVEs [29], [30]. SVEs are able to utilize unique military-based problem-solving skills to succeed in variety of engineering classes, including capstone courses [31].…”
