leaders duringtheir undergraduate and/or graduate education experience. To do so, we apply a theoreticalmodel, Organized Innovation, to the design of engineering education. This model is based on ourdecade-long study of the National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) Engineering ResearchCenter (ERC) Program, which has witnessed great success in graduating science and engineeringleaders over the past three decades. In the pages that follow, we first briefly illuminate the impetus for engineers to learnleadership skills, and why this is particularly valuable early in one’s career. Then, we outline thesuccess the ERC Program has enjoyed in developing science and engineering leaders. Third, wedescribe our research methods that led to our

recognized there was a ‘common thread’ between skills required for anengineering career in industry and those exhibited in the athletic experience. We utilized twoassessment tools, the Klein Group Instrument for Effective Leadership and Participation inTeams (KGI)® and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)®, to guide our leadership trainingmodel.Our objective was to execute a pilot program at our university to gain insight to the followingquestions.  Can our model inspire significant leadership development for the engineering students, using the KGI and MBTI instruments, in this extracurricular environment?  Do the students see relevant connections between their leadership actions on the football team and in their engineering program

the university experience is to enable students to transition from a life athome to an independent life as a young adult. Some research suggests that these are the mostformative years of a young adult’s life, where the choices, relationships, and careers paths thatone establishes has a “defining” impact on future life outcomes such as happiness, and earningpotential 6. Elements of the college experience can serve as an enabling role in this developmentprocess; experiences that challenge students to become aware of who they have been and whothey can become in life. As students become more aware of these core issues, they can becomemore active in the development of their current and future goals and aspirations.The National Academy of

not important in promoting or supporting the shared concepts. CourseLearning Concept Maps and Team Reflections reveal the students’ perspective on what mayhave supported making the connections and which approaches were less effective. In looking atthese course concept maps, for example, similar shared concepts are represented as on the SMELConcept Maps at the beginning of the course – communication (5 occurrences), teamwork (3),and leadership (3). One important, new concept also emerges, however – career connections.All 5 groups represent ties to careers on the final course concept map. These connectionssuggest that considering social media, engineering and leadership in the context of future goalsand of defined careers adds a specific

This paper will present three simulation scenarios that the group has testedand will share the experiences encountered by participating students as well as the faculty andstaff organizers.IntroductionTraditional undergraduate engineering programs offer students little in the way of leadershiptraining. They also offer students little exposure to complex real-world problems. Yet, thegeneral expectation is that one day our students will be able to lead the way in solving complexproblems.At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, we seek out ways to provide our students withexposure to real world problems
