effective way to assess learning of the coursematerial as a whole. It also provided no mechanism for assessing individual learning orleadership development.In 2017, the original midterm and final projects were replaced with the Leadership PracticeProject (LPP). This new project was designed to help students apply their learning in real time.Each student identifies a team-based project on which they are already participating and thatrequires application of leadership concepts and skills learned in the course. Typical examplesinclude design competitions, capstone projects, and service activities through campusorganizations. In an effort to accommodate students with family and professional demands, wealso accept other types of projects, such as

engineering students (approximately 4,500 seniors)spread across 15 departments, so assessing all senior capstone students is not feasible. For thisiteration of our research, we collected responses from students in as many different departmentsas possible, recognizing that the distribution of the survey is instructor dependent.At TAMU, all undergraduate engineering capstone projects are completed as team assignments,so students have the opportunity to develop and practice teamwork skills. However, theinstruction provided on psychological safety and effective teamwork varies greatly fromdepartment to department and even from instructor to instructor. TAMU has a selectiveleadership development program that includes instruction and practice in related

the specific context of engineering consulting by studying one mid-size, Canadianengineering services firm. More specifically, the research question we seek to address is who isidentified as a leader inside engineering consulting firms and why; for example, what skills,qualities or other attributes are recognized within the firm? By examining engineering leadershipin situ, we acknowledge the prospect that “engineering leadership” may be impacted by thecontext in which it is practiced. This work will support engineering educators in furtherunderstanding engineering leadership, particularly for Capstone, design, and other problem-based, project-based courses where students are meant to be situated in replicated professionalpractice

success. Most respondents started the year driven by theopportunity to gain experience and by the end of the course showed satisfaction with theopportunities for role placement, execution, and their individual and team success, though manyhad shifted to also be performance driven. The results encourage the strategy of allowing teamsto define, assign, and determine the rotations of their roles, and the importance of conductingperiodic assessments on their practices throughout the year to ensure fairness and success.IntroductionMulti and interdisciplinary engineering capstone courses provide students an opportunity to workwith design projects in teams from a variety of disciplines. Working in teams is an expectedstudent outcome for all engineering

coverage is included in programs’ cores, how is the learning operationalized toreinforce it as being integral to engineering leadership practice? Proposals for embedding ethicsinstruction more integrally within engineering coursework have included increasing the emphasison human-centric approaches to design on engineering team projects [10, 17], mitigating orreducing the isolation of ethics instruction from other aspects of courses and projects [8, 13], andincreasing the use of experiential learning approaches for ethics instruction [12, 17 - 20], among 18 19others. As this paper’s central focus, we illustrate how an ethical reasoning challenge can

better because I know a lot of the capstone classes aim to try to help students develop their own project from scratch and go through that whole, entire design development phase. I think a lot of the stuff I learned during internships, or even in outside classes and stuff… is not really touched upon in classes.” “When I went to my internship after sophomore year it was very—like I’m mechanical, and it was also very electrical-focused because I think these days a lot of things encompass electrical engineering as well. I was like, “Wow. I just don’t know anything at all. Like any of this.”Curricular constraints and workload were the primary
