leadership programs into three clusters: technical integration, developingsocial impact, and influencing core curriculum. A popular option adopted in many schools[4-11] is the creation and implementation of engineering leadership development programswhich are positioned to supplement the engineering education awarding academic credit,certification, or both. Some of these programs, particularly the Gordon-MIT LeadershipDevelopment Program culminating in certificates of leadership at the undergraduate level[7], the Gordon-Northeastern Leadership Program at the graduate level [14], and the PennState Engineering Leadership Development Minor [4], are successful engineeringleadership models which have been in existence for many years and serve as

Slaughter, who has committed hislife’s work to dismantling racism specifically in engineering education. He called theorganization and members to recognize the challenges that systemic racism poses for theengineering field and to take action in changing the way our students are educated. Dr. Slaughterpointed out that without an inclusive engineering workforce, we are missing viable and importantsolutions to engineering problems.As engineering leadership educators, our obligation to our students extends beyond transmissionof technical knowledge. We have a responsibility to infuse our curriculum with knowledge ofsystemic racism, how bias can impact our solutions, and how engineers can lead and createteams that foster belonging and inclusivity. We

Through the project we evaluated thestudents' ability to effectively perform within a group on a few team assignments. They eachprovided artifacts directly aligned to SO 5: provided leadership, created a collaborative andinclusive environment, established goals, planned tasks, and met objectives.Based on the SLR and the peer-evaluation, students’ notion of leadership was closely tied to therole of a leader.

: So I think in a lot of ways that's…the complexity of the soft [professional] skills. And it's funny when we talk about soft skills. We don't mean that they're lesser than hard [technical] skills. It's that they're less definable.While Dr. James acknowledged the importance of teaching professional skills, he faceddifficulties in integrating these skills into the classroom because of their complexity and lack ofclarity. Due to the perceived challenges of including professional skills in the curriculum, out-of-class activities were offered as an important complement.Faculty members believed that students with experience outside the classroom are betterprepared for their careers through the acquisition of professional skills

development [14]. Development is complex,moving forward several steps, then stabilizing in times of integration; it is also personal, asstudents develop along varied dimensions. Second, identity provides a framework for dealingwith dynamic staged processes, such as are encountered during the transformative experiencesthat typically characterize the undergraduate journey. Third, identity provides insight intomotivation, making it a useful construct for understanding retention. The cumulative effect ofthese characteristics suggest that identity is an effective framework for understanding studenteducation. In fact, the case has been made that engineering education is— by definition—engineering identity formation [15
