The framework guidingthis study is a model for engineering leadership identity constructed from Lave and Wenger’scommunities of practice model and Komives et al.’s model for leadership identity development(LID) which recognizes that the engineering formation process is, at its core, an identitydevelopment process. Engineering leadership is theorized to develop from

intrapersonal and interpersonal skill development, diversity andinclusion, group dynamics, and group development.The students frequently reported how concepts like the SBI feedback model [38] have supportedthem greatly with the development of their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. The SBI modelhelps deliver more effective feedback because the students focus their feedback on specificsituations (S) and behaviors (B), and then outline the impact (I) that these behaviors had on them. “I adore the SBI model. Using it forces me to rethink the situation before sharing feedback which gives me an opportunity to evaluate exactly what the impact on me really was. Secondly, I have found that people are more receptive to the feedback

The formeris indicated by an “S” next to the arrow, and the latter an “O.” It is common for there to bemultiple connected and interacting loops for any problem in a real organization. Indeed, one canoften come up with very complicated CLDs to adequately capture the fullness of an issue. Wujec’s exercise begins by asking participants in a group to each on their own sketch how tomake toast. It is a simple exercise that anyone can do. In the next step, they share their sketcheswith the group. The sharing stage results in laughter. Some people draw one or two steps, whileothers may draw an elaborate process that involves a
