ways that the leadership of an organizationcan create a diverse cast and set the stage for creativity and innovation to occur before describingnine specific actions that leadership should take. Several of these relate to building a communitythat values, encourages, and celebrates creativity. To be clear: this is a cultural necessity thatmust be fostered by the organization’s leadership.Too often, our programs hold up one-offs as a sign of programmatic achievement, a sort of “lookwhat that kid did!”, but these achievements are singular and were often completed asindependent study or extracurricular activities rather than as part of a broad plan for all students.By building a creative community, we suggest that all student efforts are

PA4tells us that more experience with the concepts and process, and application of the results, isnecessary. This suggests that — in addition to inserting ethics modules in courses throughout theentire degree plan — that there could be multiple ethics checkpoints through the semester. PA5approaches ethics from the well-developed rationality of an engineer! There are always tradeoffsto be considered and with the instruction and practice provided, this student indicates that it ispossible to “engineer” a maximization of ethics while actively minimizing harms (this issomething we would hope for!)

Code of Ethics [19] requires engineers to“endeavor in good faith to include diverse perspectives, in the planning and performance of theirprofessional services.” Without respectful listening, an engineer will not be aware of thesediverse perspectives. The quality of understanding that is achieved during communication mayvary based on who is being listened to and how one perceives the importance of the other person[20,21]. This idea is acknowledged in IEEE’s Ethically Aligned Design [22]: “stakeholderengagement and deliberative processes can be effective when… more powerful actors participatewith an awareness of their own power and make a commitment to listen with humility, curiosity,and open-mindedness” (p. 84).

and Their Impacts on StudentsA growing strand of scholarly dialogue in higher education explores connections betweenstudents’ emotional experiences with pressures and stress, and student achievement andretention. Relevant studies identify general academic pressures including parental expectations,grades, test taking, time pressures, and future plans [19] as well as those unique to engineeringstudents, such as family pressure to study the major [20]. Some studies specifically focus onstudent stress [21, 22] and impacts on students’ mental health [19, 23].Students often experience anxiety due to the stress of these expectations as well as fear of failureto fulfill them [24].

Difficulties in applying this leadership style are typically due to our trainingwhere we are taught to be independent and defend our views to avoid ‘losing’ or being provedwrong.
