the solution in some cases.Further integration of expertise from other disciplines might improve this.The importance of creating effective, psychologically safe teams to be successful in anyendeavour has been a common theme in leadership literature and a common focus of engineeringleadership research [36]. As students tackle increasingly complex problems, the ambiguity of thechallenges makes framing and scoping critical, and team members must work hard to collaboratein the face of uncertainty. Further, splitting the work up as a team is not an option, as the systemsthemselves - and the tools used to illustrate them - are interconnected. Instruction in systemsmapping processes and tools can help students to facilitate that collaboration

traction. Initiatives to developleadership in engineering students has been gaining popularity in national communities includingASEE Leadership Division, and NICKEL (National Initiative on Capacity Building andKnowledge Creation for Engineering Leadership [1]) in Canada. However, the focus on studentdevelopment often overlooks how educators are developing professionally and as educationalleaders.One common avenue for leadership and professional development is mentorship. Effectivementorship integrates both career and psychosocial aspects to develop professional identity andpersonal competencies [2]. Mentorship plays a role in shaping the cognitive and technical skillsof future engineers as well as enhancing the transferable skills essential for

leadershipin the process of developing technological innovations. However, during a typicalundergraduate engineering program the students are not taught about effective decision-making or leadership, as these are considered to be management modules and outside thecore engineering curriculum. This research paper, based on a case study from PlakshaUniversity, a new engineering university in India presents a pedagogical innovation thatcenters research design as an effective pedagogical tool to teach decision-making andleadership skills to engineering students. To test this, we collected data on three majorquestions: student perception of the importance of decision-making and leadership, actualstudent performance in the course, and student perception of

She has led Wake Forest Engineering with a focus on inclusive innovation and excellence, curricular and pedagogical innovation, and creative partnerships across the humanities, social sciences, industry, entrepreneurs, etc. in order to rethink and reimagine engineering education. All this has led to Wake Forest Engineering achieving unprecedented student diversity (42% women, 25% racial and ethnic minorities) and faculty diversity (50% women, 25% racial and ethnic diversity).

paper entitled Engineering Leadership: Bridging the Culture Gap in EngineeringEducation [1] we argued that a major barrier to change in engineering education, including theincorporation of engineering leadership into the curriculum, is the culture that exists in ourinstitutions. We proposed that the elements and dynamics of this culture can be examined in theform of co-contraries (or opposites that need each other) and that the relative emphasis in theseco-contraries reflects the engineering educational culture in a department, an institution or inengineering education as a whole. Example cultural co-contraries identified include: the powerdistance dynamic between the student and the professor; the nature of the distribution of effortbetween

integrate growth in these competencies into future experiences. Due to the lack ofshared curricular requirements across the eighteen engineering majors offered at U-M,incorporating a bookend approach seemed to be a potentially effective strategy. Updating anexisting course in the first year, where some shared curriculum does exist, and implementing anew course in the senior year when most students are completing their senior design experienceand preparing to enter the workforce, proved to be the most feasible.This practice paper primarily provides information regarding the design of these two courses,including explanation of the motivations for implementing these courses and the research basisthat informs the course design. Additionally, we analyze
