However it failsto provide an overview of the specific details of current engineering leadership programs. 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 curriculum stresses multidisciplinary knowledge, presented to the students with acombination of theory, lectures, independent research, projects, and presentations, emphasizingand promoting self-directed learning. It also requires students to complete a capstone project intheir final year, as a concluding experience, to determine the students’ ability to apply programknowledge and skills to real-world problems2. These projects are defined, designed,implemented, tested, and presented to a group of experts for thorough review and assessment in athree-month period. This research demonstrates that structuring these capstone projects byfollowing best practice guidelines is a repeatable, measurable and practical way to ensure asuccessful

’ self-confidence. Infact, without self-confidence, it is difficult for a person to do any of these things.While there are all of these positive impacts of a high level of self-confidence, it is also possible tobecome over-confident, or to have a false confidence or bravado that is not based on truecompetence or mastery of one’s profession. If self-confidence becomes over-confidence, theengineer may lose the ability to accept criticism that improves the design or product. Thisbehavior may occur in design team meetings when engineers, in their zeal to promote and selltheir innovation, blind themselves to valid concerns or valuable modifications regarding theconcept or product that could make it even better.
