This interactive workshop explores two approaches to Situational Judgments (SJs) and
Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) for cultivating Whole Engineer competencies in engineering
education. Participants will experience both a multiple‐choice, character‐focused SJT and an
open‐response, formative SJT that provides individualized feedback across interpersonal,
intrapersonal, social/ethical responsibility, and critical‐thinking domains. Through hands-on
activities and a curriculum integration studio, attendees will leave with practical strategies, rubric language, and an implementation plan for their own contexts.

Workshop Description
==================================
Engineering solutions are only as effective as the understanding of the people who use them. Engaging in user-centered design can produce a variety of qualitative data from activities like interviews, observations, and shadowing. Given engineers’ focus on quantitative analysis, many students and practitioners may lack experience with structured methods for interpreting this qualitative data. Appropriate interpretation of data is critical to uncover user needs and values, contextual constraints so that the engineering challenge can be frame ... (continued)

Purpose of the Workshop
What does it truly mean to step into the role of an engineering dean? For faculty members contemplating this transformative journey, the path can seem both exciting and uncertain. The goal of this workshop is to provide information for faculty members and aspiring university leaders interested in becoming an engineering dean. This workshop draws on a national survey of United States (U.S.) engineering deans to illuminate how they spend their time, what they value most, and how their roles have evolved over time. Overall, this workshop will demonstrate how engineering deans support their university’s mission, vision, and goals.
