In order to be atrue engineering leader, engineering students must possess technical and nontechnical soft skills,which would give them an edge in the workplace 13. They must possess skills such as written andoral communication, customer relations, personal initiative, teamwork abilities, organizationalknowledge, and decision making that will facilitate the development of solutions to businesschallenges, to be effective leaders 15.According to the NAE (2004), “engineers must understand the principles of leadership and beable to practice them in growing proportions as their careers advance”.
