) and for Science for Clean Energy (S4CE), another European Community Project (both are led by Alberto Striolo at University College London). He is on the advisory board for Fluid Phase Equilibria and is a member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Project on Recommended Reference Materials for Phase Equilibria Studies (led by Ala Bezyleva, NIST). He sat until recently on the advisory committee for the National High Magnetic Flux Laboratory Tallahassee (FTICR-MS facil- ity, USA), and the Network Coordination Council for the Canadian Oilsands Network of Research and Development (CONRAD). He was a principal Investigator and theme leader for Carbon Management Canada (a Canadian national

least an “Understanding” level of skill. Subsequent courses wouldbuild on that level through more advanced experiential learning activities, including working inteams, participation in student organizations, and internships. Interwoven throughout will beopportunities for students to use their skills in coaching others in a leadership laboratory setting.The result was a much more cohesive and synchronized course structure that captured the bestaspects of the prior curriculum while streamlining the flow through elimination of redundancy. Asix-course structure was created consisting of eleven credit hours of academic work. A non-creditinternship was retained, and the RIPE specialization and project management courses were added.To make it easy for

. Also, though insightwas gained into engineering leadership styles, it is unknown to what extent these styles compareto those employed in other disciplines. In order to improve upon this study, a larger sample ofengineers as well as individuals in additional disciplines could be considered. Using aquantitative approach, established leadership assessment tools could be used to determinedifferences in leadership behaviors across disciplines. This comparative approach may serve tofurther enhance the understanding of leadership within an engineering context.References[1] Hartmann, B. & Jahren, C. (2015).
