, and a practical leadershipexperience. We discuss the pedagogical approaches that: 1) foster reflective self-leadership; 2)support the emergence of personal vision; and 3) create learning communities. We conclude bysharing recommendations for engineering educators to implement engineering-graduate-student-specific, leadership development initiatives at their institutions.ContextThe Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at U of T is home to approximately 3000graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and 5000 undergraduate students. The graduatestudent population is divided equally into three degree-programs, PhD, research-based Masters,and course-based, professional Masters. Of all graduate students, 29% identify as women and42% are

applied in both academic and non-academic settings.For example, the rubric development presentation covers how rubrics can be used to as-sess exams, homework, and quizzes as well as to conduct an employee’s annual review. Adean from the college of engineering gives instruction on enforcing academic integrity, andour research park and alumni network has provided panelists for panel discussions wherequestions about professional ethics are deliberated.Perhaps the single best practice that we employed was holding a weekly meeting to conductlecture reflection and planning. In these meetings we perform regular checks on our lecturecontent to ensure that we do not lose sight of the integrative approach. The culture of theteam is one that allows

Ohio State University in Multicultural and Equity Studies in Education where she also earned an MA in Quantitative Research, Evaluation and Measurement. Dr. Patterson’s work in the educational field began as an elementary level inclusive special educator. She is committed to preparing educators who take up a critical lens to working with children and best serving their needs while seeking ways to deconstruct inequities woven into the US’s existing public school system and structure. To this end, Dr. Patterson serves as a co-coordinator for the newly (2020) established Social Justice in Education minor available to students across the University. Broadly, Dr. Patterson’s research interests consider intersections

design to research that applied engineering and molecular biology approaches to the study of the skeletal response to mechanical loading. As a Mechanical Engineer, she worked on facility design projects involving mechanical systems that included heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and energy conservation systems, as well as R&D of air conditioning equipment for Navy ships. Additional research interests have included the investigation of relationships among components of the indoor environment, occupants, and energy usage. Specifically, the effects of the indoor environment on occupant health and well-being and in parallel, how socially-mediated energy-saving strategies can increase awareness of energy use and/or

Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A study of alumni of the Leveraging Leadership for a Lifetime leadership development courseABSTRACTOver the past two decades there has been abundant discussion, research and subsequentpublication about the need for leadership skill development for both newly minted and seasonedengineers. The calls have come from both engineering practice and academic communities, andthe expectations have been codified by ABET for engineering academic preparatory programs.But there is a dearth of information about whether, and how, this education has been of value tothe graduates and their organizations. This study documents the results of a survey of alumni ofseveral post-graduate

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading. TheNational Research Council Board on Engineering education noted that undergraduate curriculumneeds to be reformed in order for undergraduates to get extensive exposure to interdisciplinary,hands-on skills, creative design, and systems thinking[2].
