Engineering Leadership Development

leadership that resonate with working engineers: technical mastery,collaboration based on teamwork and leading teams, and organizational innovation.Our case studies touch on all three of these areas in various ways, but perhaps the category whichis most interesting and elusive is the ‘organizational innovator’. In Rottmann et al.’s work, thisemerges as an entrepreneurial function with a technological orientation, which incorporates adiverse set of skills, such as understanding markets, needs, values inherent in the goal, and likelyimpacts of the goal.Hartmann and Jahren [11] provide a slightly different view on ‘engineering leadership,’ as theyreported on industry employers who specifically request leadership skills as part of the suite

[21] found that 57% of the studentswho matriculated into engineering majors persisted in engineering to the 8th semester, the highestof all major groups (e.g. 51% social sciences, 41% other science/technology/math). The reasonsthat students leave engineering have been widely studied; a recent review clustered these intofive factors [22]: classroom and academic climate; race and gender; grades and conceptualunderstanding; self-efficacy and self-confidence; interest and career goals. Few students transferinto engineering [21] and engineering admittance criteria are usually more stringent than othermajors [23]. Thus, students with an environmental interest able to be admitted to engineeringmay choose that route, with the idea

Massachusetts Institute of Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Encouraging a growth mindset in engineering studentsIntroduction and backgroundThe idea of “mindset” became widely known due to Dweck’s 2008 book [1]. A person’s mindsetguides a great deal of how they approach life – and especially how one approaches education.Dweck defines two different mindsets: a “fixed mindset” and “growth mindset” [1]. Someonewith a fixed mindset believes that their intelligence is fixed and unchangeable. On the otherhand, someone with a growth mindset believes that their intelligence is changeable and can growas they learn more. Most people’s mindset lies along a continuum with these two mindsets
