from merely reacting tochallenges to actively learning and growing from them. Ultimately, this approach shifts themindset from reactive problem-solving to personal development and continuous learning. Beyond these alignments, in terms of connection to industry and leadership, personalmastery does have a presence in industry. Literature noting that current engineering education isnot producing leadership qualities in engineers [30] suggests that something must be done tomeet the U.S.’s leadership needs. With many of the traditional organizations within industrytransitioning to learning organizations, likely to meet the demands of the Fourth IndustrialRevolution as learning is the “currency of survival” [8, p.1], lifelong learning remains

built their owndefinitions of leadership [12]. For instance, one of the more popular definitions “borrowed” fromcommunication research defines leadership as follows: “Leadership is not defined by a title orposition, but rather as a process that takes place between leaders, followers, and/or teammembers” [13]. The field of business has defined leadership as “the process of interactiveinfluence that occurs when, in a given context, some people accept someone as their leader toachieve common goals.” [14] Winston and Patterson [15] from organizational studies defineleadership in the following way: A leader is one or more people who selects, equips, trains, and influences one or more follower(s) who have diverse gifts, abilities, and

Most notably, Komives et al. [1]developed the leadership identity framework, which describes this process. In their LeadershipIdentity Development (LID) model, Komives et al.

As highlighted in the literature, integrating structured leadershipdevelopment programs into the curriculum can significantly enhance the comprehensiveeducation of engineering professionals, particularly by strengthening their leadership skills.References[1] D.

FACE aims to develop leadership skills, create opportunitiesfor students to engage in co- and extracurricular activities, and promote career and educationalgoal achievement within our engineering FYS to aid in retention of their programs.FACE is intentionally designed to align with leadership identity development models,particularly Komives et al.’s (2005) LID Model and Schell & Hughes’ (2016) EngineeringLeadership Identity Model [13], [14]. These frameworks emphasize that leadership identity iscultivated through structured experiences, reflection, and mentorship. Accordingly, FACEincorporates structured peer mentorship, self-assessment tools like CliftonStrengths, andleadership reflection activities to help students actively

Teams had oneweek to agree on a topic and then used a template provided in Week 9’s Universal Design forLearning session to draft a project proposal, laying out the lesson and learning objectives.Once teams were established, they could choose between presenting their lesson either at an on-campus outreach event during class time or at a local school on Week 14.

In this paper, we share one of the activities designed to support EIF reflectionon their roles as leaders and opportunities for development based on the ICVF.Theoretical FoundationsGiven the importance of reflection in leadership development [31], one goal of the program wasfor faculty to reflect on their definition of leadership, explore how they enact leadership in theirrole, and identify areas where they would like to grow as leaders. To facilitate this reflection, weleveraged the Integrated Competing Values Framework [4].The ICVF was derived from Quinn et al.’s
