engineering leadership (EL) developmentexplicit, and thus teachable, by pairing memorable career events with leadership learningprocesses. More specifically, we use Lave and Wenger’s situated learning theory to investigatehow career-embedded proud moments contribute to engineers’ leadership development. Ourteam identified four types of proud moments along with corresponding leadership lessons in thecareer history narratives of 29 senior engineers. This four-part proud moment typology—honingprofessional dexterity, mobilizing teams, realizing values, and driving excellence—illustratesfour distinct ways that engineers can and do institutionalize leadership in their respectiveworkplaces. This finding suggests that proud moments are not only personally

Intern for the Journal of En- gineering Education. Her research interests include broadening participation in engineering, engineering leadership, and marginalized student experiences in engineering. Her dissertation explored the experi- ences of early-career Black engineers in leadership. She received her B.S. in Industrial Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh and her M.S. in Human Systems Engineering from Arizona State University. Before starting her graduate studies, she worked in the tech industry in the operations field. Katreena is committed to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusivity and hopes that her work will impact the culture and environment of the engineering education ecosystem.Dr. Brooke

And I [think to myself], "Oh, please don't make me do this”… I'mpositioned as somebody who knows things or somebody who could be supportive or somebodywho can... I want to be those things. But if it's seen as more of a professional capacity, [I feel],‘My life is a lesson of what not to do’.”We see in this quote, someone who struggles with the complexities of navigating a mid-careerprofessional academic journey; a journey that can be fraught with dead ends, wrong turns, andhard-earned lessons. Irrespective of the challenges, formal mentoring for academics at this stageof their career can be sparse

example of a systemiccultural aspect can be seen in the evaluation of undergraduate students, with a prevalenceof high stakes academic assessments where students in (typically) larger classes mustdemonstrate their knowledge by passing high stakes midterm and final exams. Thisresults in competitive grade rankings that can impact their career success out ofproportion to the accuracy of the assessment that was used to create the grade. Lowerstakes assessments strategies such as competency-based assessment, where students havemultiple opportunities to develop and demonstrate competence akin to the way engineersdevelop expertise after graduation as an engineer in training and/or as a graduate student,is not as prevalent.2.

engineers work in fields withpressing deadlines, on projects where millions or even billions of dollars, public safety, or thelives of the end user of their designs are at stake. Engineering and computer science-basedprofessions account for just under 6% the 800+ high-stress professions reported by ONET [1].Helping students to develop strategies for performing on teams effectively in stressful situationsis essential for their successful goal achievement, productivity and team performance in theirfuture engineering careers [2], [3]. This EL work in progress design paper will introduce amodel for a non-traditional engineering leadership development activity. Specifically, this paperwill explore the incorporation of a simulated stressful situation
