ASEE National Conference, June 2016. Today’s paperalso addresses how the course has evolved responding to student feedback, changing studentdemographics, and MEM program restructuring.IntroductionDo you have a course that prepares me for senior leadership roles in technical organizations?And how have those leadership roles and your courses evolved to address the challenges andopportunities of educating new generations of engineering leaders for jobs of the future? Thesequestions have been asked by many of our working professional part-time Master of EngineeringManagement students. They are not looking for their first job out of college; they are looking toadvance into leadership roles in their professional career, and maybe even to senior

Certain students with disabilities in engineering programsthink about leaving their careers or they do not see themselves working as engineers in the nearfuture [4] [9] [11]. Some of these students find engineering education “as individualistic andcompetitive” and encounter barriers in the engineering curricula, such as struggling to passmandatory courses or experiencing a waning interest in the curriculum's content [11]. Additionalhurdles in engineering include students with disabilities facing a lack of readiness for college-level coursework after
