PLTL leaders interact with diverse students and adapt different approachesto learning [17], relearning the subject matter more deeply. Teaching is a leadership skill of anyprofessional and requires training to ensure effectiveness [18]. The OL courses were redesignedto provide NEIL scholars extended leadership training as they worked in PLTL or other peermentoring roles, as well as taking leadership roles in research projects.PLTL and Peer MentoringPLTL is an instructional approach that provides an environment for students to work in teams toengage in problem-solving under the guidance of a 'peer leader'.

, creating training that helps students learn how to best support each other when they make mistakes, creating training on respecting and appreciating differences among team members, and encouraging them to ask for help when needed. RHIT – At RHIT, opportunities include creating a learning experience to improve how teams handle mistakes, talk about tough issues, and take small risks. There are certainly opportunities for students to develop these skills because the students surveyed here were freshman design students—they will receive additional training and practice opportunities as they progress through their college careers. CPP – At CPP, opportunities include creating learning experiences

of this research: factors that impact team performance, and (to a much lesserextent) frameworks of team performance. The importance of this finding is amplified whenjuxtaposed next to the primary themes of research on teamwork education: student capabilitiesand faculty responsibilities in developing effective teamwork [3]. This discordance betweenacademia’s focus toward teamwork education and industry’s focus toward team performance isan important gap for engineering educators and researchers to address as they both move forwardin their work. If engineering team performance researchers are identifying factors that driveteam performance, yet engineering educators are not teaching the skillsets that would enhancethose drivers, then the

fulfill this role and forestall abuse,many faculty members have understandably limited and scrutinized student use of Gen AI. Perhapsthis stance comes across as curmudgeonly. How best to make use of this technology in the academywill be an important and evolving process that may significantly impact our paradigms on curriculardelivery and student assessment.Notwithstanding real concerns over abuse, the proverbial genie will not return to the bottle. The issuefor students who will practice engineering leadership is how to apply it effectively and in a way thatdoes not promote abuse. Similarly, the issue for faculty is how to welcome this technology in teachingwhile upholding high ethical standards.Leadership is fundamentally an intervention

At the same time, recent studies suggest much work 8remains in establishing how to best deliver engineering ethics learning in programs [10 - 13]. Ongoing 11 12challenges include strengthening students’ sense of a pragmatic connection between ethical reasoningskills and their use in day-to-day engineering work [10 - 12], sharpening students’ recognition of whendecisions carry ethical implications [10, 11], and helping students to see ethics from beyond a lens ofindividual

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
