“…The positive outcomes of this model on the learning and development of peer tutors have previously been observed [13,14,29]. [15,23,29] all note the challenges of delivering a problem-based course to larger classes and examine using peer tutors to address this challenge.…”

“…In addition, the development of a community of practice including engineering practitioners, graduate and undergraduate students has been utilized as an effective tool for developing engineering innovation, design and leadership skills [14]. Team based case studies have been employed to operationalize sustainability and allow students to gain experience with real-world engineering challenges in a low to no risk environment [15]. Furthermore, a multilayered peer-learning model was employed by Zou [29] to engage students with the realworld engineering grand challenges and sustainability.…”

This paper introduces a methodology to investigate the impact of utilizing multilayered peer learning pedagogical strategies to integrate the Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges into a large first-year engineering design course. The Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges (CEGC) evolved from the seventeen UN sustainable development goals (UNSDG). The CEGC focus on achieving access to safe water; resilient infrastructure; sustainable energy, industry, and cities; and inclusive STEM education. The incorporation of the CEGC into higher education can be viewed as a tool to empower students to understand the significance of engineering in society with respect to the achievement of the UNSDG. Consequently, their inclusion in the first-year engineering education curriculum serves to engage students with urgent and complex societal problems and the socio-contextual impact of engineering decisions and designs. Peer learning has regularly been applied as an active learning strategy, often with smaller class sizes. A multilayered peer learning strategy was implemented to engage students with the CEGC in a large class of ~1100 students. This strategy is reviewed with respect to delivery logistics and observed efficacy.

What about sustainability? Adding the “S” to leadership and management competency development in the engineering curriculum

To provide a framework for engineering educators to map leadership and management skills development in the curriculum, the authors previously created a Leadership-Management Development Model (LMDM). In this paper we look to extend the model to include sustainability by using an “environmental limits approach”, creating a Leadership-Management -Sustainability Development Model (LMSDM). Adding the sustainability dimension provides a contextual purpose for leadership and management development as it relates to creating and stewarding sustainable socio-technical engineering solutions. This can set a common language and a harmonized framework in the context of skills development and application in engineering practice to complex socio-technical problems. Ultimately the model will allow programs and instructors to map and situate the development of leadership, management and sustainability concepts in their programs in an integrated manner., and to examine learning outcomes relevant to the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attributes (GA). Curricular examples are provided to give insight into application of the LMSDM in engineering courses and programs. Future work will include mapping the developed LMSDM to engineering curriculum at multiple institutions.

“…Por último, el trabajo bajo presión se define como la capacidad de mantener el control ante situaciones de apremio, de manera equilibrada, logrando una toma de decisiones adecuada y oportuna, en función de la efectividad de la labor ejercida (Stewart, 2021). Y, finalmente, el trabajo en equipo se refiere a la habilidad de ejercer una labor en compañía de otros, a la vez que promueve, fomenta y mantiene buenas relaciones con sus colaboradores, compañeros y otros grupos de trabajo, en función de la consecución de resultados comunes (Jamieson et al, 2021).…”

Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio se centró en caracterizar las fortalezas y debilidades de los jóvenes emprendedores desde la visión de las ciudades inteligentes con el fin de identificar los elementos más significativos en su comportamiento. Método: Se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo-comparativo en el que se analizaron 19 dimensiones de personalidad. Se trabajó sobre una población de 500 empresarios de la ciudad de Barranquilla, Colombia, tomando como muestra un grupo de jóvenes empresarios menores de 26 años. Resultados: Se identificaron hallazgos relevantes para su uso en el diseño de propuestas gubernamentales o fortalecimiento de programas educativos; encontrando que las dimensiones de autoconfianza, escucha activa y perseverancia fueron las competencias de personalidad mejor percibidas entre los jóvenes de ambos géneros; y, asimismo, destacándose la competitividad, constancia y curiosidad, dentro del grupo de competencias laborales. De igual forma, en las dimensiones de perseverancia y originalidad, las mujeres obtuvieron mejores calificaciones; mientras que, en el ingenio, los hombres mostraron mejores resultados. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos encontrados permiten dar cuenta que los jóvenes de la ciudad de Barranquilla poseen un alto nivel de potencialidad para su crecimiento en el ámbito emprendedor.
