primecandidates for benchmarking purposes.In developing Sacramento State’s HLP program, an effort was undertaken to benchmarkestablished engineering leadership education programs of various sizes and scope beforedesigning a curriculum which fits our needs. Our primary goal was to take inventory ofbest practices regardless of their size and scope.Benchmarking Various Engineering Leadership Development ProgramsThe MIT-Gordon Leadership program [7], Northeastern-Gordon Leadership program [14],University of California, San Diego-Gordon Leadership Center [8], and the University ofKansas-Engineering Fellows Program [11] were considered for the in-depth benchmarkingstudy. The ASEE conference (LEAD Division, 2019) also enabled us to benchmark over 40

Four of the largest engineering departments have since joined theinitiative by requiring their new GTAs to complete the program as part of their on-boardingprocess. With an initial cohort of 13 graduate students in Spring 2017, the program has nowgrown to over 190 in Fall 2019. To assess the perception of transferability between teachingskills and leadership skills among participants in the program, a comparison group versustreatment group study was conducted in Fall 2018. The comparison group is comprised ofnew engineering GTAs who did not participate in the program and the treatment groupis comprised of participants in the program. This paper will present the result of thestudy and discuss

[16] While the specific learning tools and instructionaltechniques in the LLL course series evolved somewhat over time, its core course structure,objectives and components remained stable. A summary of the objectives and student learningoutcomes, as originally conceived, for each of the LLL course series segments is provided here: Leveraging Leadership for a Lifetime I (ETLS 550) (offered as the initial course in the MSTM program). This course provides a comprehensive orientation to the newly accepted student
