Engineering Leadership Development

.’ Many of thesestudents lack the confidence and skillsets to lead the teams and organizations that must executethe complex and often-large project work of technology research, management, and/ordevelopment. Students who possess the ability to solve technical problems, manage budgets, andapply basic business principles in an effort to develop a product or solution may become adeptengineering managers. However, students who can inspire a team to complete and deploy productsand solutions so that the whole team’s productivity is greater than the sum of the expertise of eachindividual team member can become engineering leaders. Engineering leadership programs atresearch universities often have the challenging problem of developing curriculum for

The study relied upon a survey ofmembers of a student organization, Women in Technology, for data. Open-ended questions wereincluded. Brand and Kasarda [11] studied female students enrolled in a high school roboticsprogram and at an all-women’s college, to determine the influence of social interactions onfemale engineering students. Encouraging female students to experiment with engineering in acollaborative environment was a goal for both programs. The qualitative study was conductedwithin a socio-cultural framework, assuming that individuals learn from communicating with oneanother and that interaction results in collective
