In addition to providing comprehensive data about what the STS program adds tothe engineering education of all students who pass through our program, we wanted to moreprecisely articulate what constitutes excellence in sociotechnical analysis of the type we prepareour students to do. Having extensively assessed all of the non-technical ABET outcomes at alllevels of our curriculum, we were eager to know whether the sum was more than the whole of itsparts, in other words, what students could do when they applied their knowledge to the kind ofsituation they

This model can be used to reshape existingengineering leadership education programs and integrate leadership into the engineeringcurriculum in an innovative manner. The model starts with a fundamental assumption that theengineering leadership formation process is, at its core, an identity development process. Thisassumption is also central to two established theoretical perspectives that informed theconstruction of this model. Lave and Wenger’s (1991
