engineeringleadership effort can use this paper to identify potential approaches for their institute.The Need for Leadership Education in EngineeringEngineering colleges are being driven to infuse leadership education into the engineering andcomputer science fields. The need for engineering leaders is being driven by the manychallenges the nation faces (e.g., see the National Academy of Engineering’s Grand Challenges2010; http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/). Technology and engineered systems can providesolutions to these challenges. To bring forth these solutions, the nation needs engineeringleaders. Many studies have explored the role of engineers and the need to change theeducational system to produce these engineers. For example, see • The Science and
