larger, mixed methods study, an online survey was developed using Qualtrics surveysoftware. The faculty portion of the survey consisted of 13 items that were developed by theresearch team and informed by consultations with the project advisory board, prior literature[24], and the team’s prior work experiences in academia and industry. While survey itemsincluded topics such as course background and content specialty, we focused our analysis hereon responses to survey items that align with the conceptual framework dimensions (Figure 1) toreveal inherent faculty perceptions regarding content, importance, and assessment of leadershipin the engineering curriculum. Characteristics of the survey items explored with theircorresponding dimensions are

Cooperative class environments are also perceived as“warmer” by students, which contributes to positive outcomes in a host of learning outcomes (likepersistence in STEM after graduation), especially for female engineers [35, 39]. Finally, reflectivelearning can be an important contributor to leadership development as it leads to interdependencewith others [39, 42]; connecting leadership experiences to coursework can deliberately engagestudent in reflective learning on their experiences.The curriculum is only one of two aspects of students’ college experience that influence theirdevleopment. The co-curriculum, such as participation in Greek life, athletics, internships, on-campus employment, or

students, but rather a self-selected subset. Whileliterature indicates that EL programming is more effective when integrated into the corecurriculum rather than distributed in optional activities [13], other studies reveal that changingthe engineering core curriculum can be quite difficult [6, 14, 15]. These latter studies, coupledwith the observed trend of optional EL course implementation, suggest that the self-selectivenature of students’ EL course participation will continue to be commonplace – at least in the nearterm.Given the voluntary status of many undergraduate EL courses, it may be appropriate for ELeducators to consider the cross-sectional representativeness of their course cohorts relative totheir university’s overall engineering

construction course, capstone design, and aprofessional issues course. Being introduced to leadership ideas early in the undergraduatecurriculum, which are reinforced in later courses, may be a good strategy to motivate studentsand encourage their interest around leadership topics. A number of students also identifiedinternships and other co-curricular activities as contributing to their leadership skills (e.g. ROTC,professional society president, sports activities). Instructors may want to consider the tenets ofEVT when integrating leadership education into the curriculum, explaining the utility value ofthese skills in the workforce and using metacognition to have students reflect on their ownleadership experiences so that they build self-efficacy

engineeringprograms. Instead, students have been expected to learn skills through leadership experiences instudent organizations or through workplace professional development programs or mentorship.The 2004 report on engineering in the new century by the National Academy of Engineering hasprovided impetus to some American engineering schools to incorporate leadership curriculum[2]. The report proposes two main premises as the rationale for the importance of leadershipeducation at the undergraduate level in engineering. Specifically, the inclusion of engineeringleadership in the undergraduate engineering degree program will equip the graduate to be morecompetitive in an increasingly global marketplace, and will enable the graduate to fulfill theirprofessional

Whether they viewed engineers as a homogenous group ofprofessionals who must be accommodated, as technically trained individuals in need of socialskills, or even as citizens with culturally diverse values, all thirteen researchers focused on theindividual engineer or engineering manager as the primary unit of analysis.
