Tofurther this field of research, this paper analyzes the specific program goals and learning outcomesof engineering leadership programs. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of thefocus of current programs, as well as a detailed summary of the key program competencies

This paper augments the panel and captures the backgrounds, experiences, perspectives,and recommendations of the panelists, thereby providing a lasting resource for those unable toattend the panel or future interested individuals. The information we present targets men andadministrators, who will better understand the barriers to advocacy, learn best-practices ofeffective advocacy, and hear first-hand experiences of successful advocacy.BackgroundMany factors – systemic and non-systemic, conscious and unconscious, policy and climate – cannegatively impact

leaders duringtheir undergraduate and/or graduate education experience. To do so, we apply a theoreticalmodel, Organized Innovation, to the design of engineering education. This model is based on ourdecade-long study of the National Science Foundation-funded (NSF) Engineering ResearchCenter (ERC) Program, which has witnessed great success in graduating science and engineeringleaders over the past three decades. In the pages that follow, we first briefly illuminate the impetus for engineers to learnleadership skills, and why this is particularly valuable early in one’s career. Then, we outline thesuccess the ERC Program has enjoyed in developing science and engineering leaders. Third, wedescribe our research methods that led to our

Olin College dealt withmany of same challenges and opportunities that the UTEP E-Lead Program is facing now. Theyhave experience in partnering with schools in program creation, student engagement, andcurriculum innovation. The focus for these partnerships is on the program and curriculumdevelopment process (with Olin-centric experiences as inspiration) rather than direct adoption ofOlin curriculum. The process includes elements of user-centered design, design thinking, with astrong focus on culture development and faculty and student engagement. Olin has experience inABET

The program is a partnershipbetween a community college and a state university, separated geographically by severalhundred miles. The program takes place at the community college, targeting students in that partof the state and responding to the needs of local industries. Because of the complex nature of theinstitutional partnership, as well as the project-based, team-focused emphasis, the program servesas an innovative model for engineering education.IntroductionThe engineering profession is becoming steadily more global in nature,1 creating the need forengineering education to develop a graduate who is

. For many, it is integral to the way theycommunicate with one another and document their activities. As such, their perceptions of theseconnections are possibly different than those of the authors, who might see social media as eithera distraction, or a potential “add-on,” to the learning and practice of engineering.Increasing our understanding of the students’ attitudes and dispositions towards social media,engineering and leadership can inform the development of engineering education and practice.Therefore, this study explores two related research questions: 1. How are social media, engineering and leadership related to one another from a student perspective? 2. How do student self-perceptions of their leadership skills change

, engineering management, and teamwork for engineershave been debated, as the definition of ‘engineering leadership’ has evolved. Wilding, W. V., &Knotts, T. A., & Pitt, W. G., & Argyle, M. D. 1 have defined leadership characteristics forengineering students and created a working definition comprised of 13 qualities for theirengineers; highlighted by “follows as well as leads”, “takes time to evaluate personalperformance as a team member and improves when needed”, and “understands the personalitytraits of self and others and can work with others in accomplishing tasks”. They have noticed the“prominence of teamwork skills” in their list.1 From an extensive review of best practices, Paul,R., & Cowe Falls, L. G.2 propose the definition is
