Four of the largest engineering departments have since joined theinitiative by requiring their new GTAs to complete the program as part of their on-boardingprocess.

course.IntroductionAs universities strive to graduate engineering students who can make an impact on society,engineering leadership programs have become more prominent. The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to

The ELDM alumni cohort was surveyed in 2018 and reported on previouslyby Gehr (2019) and Lang et al. (2020). Within the ELDM cohort, contact information wasavailable for 451 alumni. A recruitment email was sent with a link to the study survey and 136responded, resulting in a response rate of 30.2%.The College of Engineering non-ELDM cohort was surveyed in 2019.
