leadershipeducation programs in Australia and Europe, this report synthesized the data collected in order topropose an engineering leadership education program structure.The current literature available outlines the importance of engineering leadership education andprovides broad summaries of programs and recommendations for best practices. However it failsto provide an overview of the specific details of current engineering leadership programs. Tofurther this field of research, this paper analyzes the specific program goals and learning outcomesof engineering leadership programs. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of thefocus of current programs, as well as a detailed summary of the key program competencies

panel brings together a group of men with diverse backgrounds and experiences to discusstheir perspectives and offer practical skills for men to effectively serve as advocates for genderequity. This paper augments the panel and captures the backgrounds, experiences, perspectives,and recommendations of the panelists, thereby providing a lasting resource for those unable toattend the panel or future interested individuals. The information we present targets men andadministrators, who will better understand the barriers to advocacy, learn best-practices ofeffective advocacy, and hear first-hand experiences of successful advocacy.BackgroundMany factors – systemic and non-systemic, conscious and unconscious, policy and climate – cannegatively impact

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Training for Leadership and Team Skills from Freshman Year ForwardLeadership and small-group skills for engineers are not only important for interacting with the 3-5 people on a design team during their academic career, but for performing well on professionalengineering teams, which often include customers, support personnel (who are not engineers),and other constituencies in the workplace. This issue is best captured with this quote from Mr.Bock of Google, “What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you're a member of ateam, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back....". 1Our work

a two-year, project-based program that allows students with two-yearcollege degrees to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering. The program is a partnershipbetween a community college and a state university, separated geographically by severalhundred miles. The program takes place at the community college, targeting students in that partof the state and responding to the needs of local industries. Because of the complex nature of theinstitutional partnership, as well as the project-based, team-focused emphasis, the program servesas an innovative model for engineering education.IntroductionThe engineering profession is becoming steadily more global in nature,1 creating the need forengineering education to develop a graduate who is

Again, intentionality matters in the design of a curricular leadership program when itcomes to measurement of outcomes. From the beginning, a program should develop learningoutcomes that clearly communicate what the participants will learn through their time and effortin the program. Doing so early on allows for the creation of instruments and measures that willcapture student learning during both specific elements of the program and overall.Participant selectionIs the goal of the program to polish diamonds or press coals?
