Engineering Leadership Development

Practice StyleAbstractInherent to the career trajectories of professional engineers is an expectation that they learn tointegrate communication, interpersonal and leadership skills into their technical knowledge base.While this process may feel smooth and natural to some, research suggests that others find itchallenging and require support [1-3]. Our paper examines three bodies of literature relevant toengineering leadership learning in industry contexts: industry perspectives on the skills, traitsand styles of effective engineering leaders; large-scale surveys tracking engineers’ career pathsand transitions; and ethnographic studies examining engineers’ professional identitydevelopment. Our primary reason for doing this is to ground the next

and as a project management consultant. Her research contributes to the advancement of labor and personnel issues in engineering broadly and specifically in the construction industry through two research areas: untangling the complex relationship between activities people become involved in — operationalized as engagement — and the technical and professional out- comes gained — operationalized as competencies. The broader impact of this work lies in achieving and sustaining productive, diverse and inclusive project organizations composed of engaged, competent peo- ple. Dr. Simmons’ research is supported by awards from NSF, including a CAREER award. She oversees the Simmons Research Lab (www.denisersimmons.com
