Students wanted support fromprofessors, both academic and emotional. Academically, students stated that they wanted lesswork and that professors needed to keep in mind that they are often in several engineeringcourses at the same time and have responsibilities outside of school. Also, students wanted moreclarity on assignments, as well as opportunities for extensions. Emotionally, students wantedinstructors to be more supportive inside the classroom, desiring “constructive feedback instead ofharsh criticism.” They also wanted to develop a more

Interms of technical attributes, students' responses ranged quite significantly from “strategicthinking” and “math and logic based mind” to “human being.” Interestingly, we found that noneof the four engineering students defined themselves as engineers in describing their technicalattributes or “Who I am” from the technical standpoint.Preliminary Discussion From this activity and preliminary work, we found that students struggled toconceptualize and distinguish technical knowledge (“What I know”), technical skills (“What Ido”), and technical attributes (“Who I am”).

Doing so demandsthat we consider which skills and mindsets these future leaders will need; it also requires that weassess whether the methods we are using to prepare them reflect the ways they will be expectedto enact leadership roles.
