tool to regulate engineering practice. Given the significant impact engineeringprojects can have on public safety, the primary objective of engineering licensure is to offerassurance to the public. To ensure public safety through licensure, engineers must meet theminimum competency level set by statutory regulations for their tasks. Furthermore, they mustadhere to a professional code of conduct while carrying out responsibilities [2]. Failure ofcompliance with the stipulations may result in subsequent disciplinary processes.Engineering licensure has a long history in the United States. States began to adopt engineeringlicensure statutes in the early 1900s, and it took approximately 40 years for all states to haveengineering licensure laws in

Engineeringdesign and engineering leadership competencies overlap significantly, highlighting theopportunities that exist in teaching leadership explicitly in design courses. Teaching leadershipwithin the context of design projects is a relatively low-effort high reward practice that can helpchange the culture of engineering to one that encourages engineers to think of themselves and actas leaders in order to contribute even more to addressing the unpredictable challenges of thefuture.AcknowledgementsThe research team extends appreciation to Victoria Lanaghan for detailed review of this work.They would also like to thank the Center for Leadership at the University of

In Teaming Tribulations, students are asked to create aquick design in response to a simple prompt. They then share their designs during the judgment-free "Concept Generation Phase."
