, national organizations have called for broadening of graduate education beyondthe technical to include career development and professional skills training [4-6]. The impetus isthat traditional graduate degrees prepare students to become professors and researchers ateducational institutions while career outcome studies show that those with engineering graduatedegrees find employment in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, banking, aerospace,consulting and manufacturing [5, 7, 8]. In Canada only 14% of engineers with PhDs (includingarchitecture and related technologies) are employed as professors [4].There is a need to provide leadership-learning opportunities to engineering students as leadershipcompetencies can boost their success in

a student-generated strategy for combattingdeclining female student enrollment and a poor retention rate. 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
learning. Additional service interests include teaching and leadership training for graduate students, enhancing communication education for undergraduate engineering students, developing evidence-based design project team formation strategies, and improving engineering design curricula.Dr. Mattox Alan Beckman, University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign Mattox Beckman is a teaching assistant professor in the Computer Science department.
