position of authority within the group [8].The review paper on engineering leadership development programs by Crumpton-Young, et al.showed common agreement between professional engineers and engineering students about whichskills are most useful for an engineer in a leadership position [9]. But their work showed that thereis a need for richer qualitative data, which our study may be able to help provide. One such studyis by Cox et al., who asked engineering faculty members to assess students strengths, weaknesses,and future learning opportunities [10]. While leadership skills of engineering students maydevelop in many contexts, Knight, et al (2017) found that curricular emphasis on leadershipdevelopment is more reliable than student engagement in

. Bradford “So I tookthe T-group section and much to my surprise, found that it opened up a whole new life to me. Itexposed me to experiences that I had never had before or for that matter had never evenunderstood existed.” [31].With the help of faculty members from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, who have ledhundreds of T-Groups, the author created a modified version of Stanford’s InterpersonalDynamics course, considering the needs of an undergraduate student population. This newlydesigned course, with the T-Group method as its core element, was offered to the undergraduatestudents of Harvey Mudd College during the spring semester 2017 as a pilot and after a verypositive reception (course evaluations 6.77 out of 7) again during the fall

United States and coinedthe term “cosmopolitan” to characterize the professional orientations of professors who viewedthemselves as technical specialists. These participants measured themselves against an externalreference group of similarly trained academics in their discipline, and tended to express limitedloyalty to the college. In contrast, professors with a “local” orientation viewed themselves ascontributing members of the “Co-op College” faculty. They were aware of their disciplinarytraining, but tended to measure themselves against a reference group of colleagues and viewthemselves as primarily responsible to their students and employers. To the extent that theseorientations can be applied to engineers, we believe those with a

Continual course improvement processes require reflection on the success oflearning activities, the tools used for teaching, and alignment of learning outcomes,activities, and assessment. Peer evaluation and feedback tools can encourage studentlearning and leadership development. The method of data collection, the type of feedbackand the contextual validity of the feedback may impact students’ development of useful teambehaviours and personal strategies for working in team environments.

to the welfare of people and societies. But thereare far too few institutions that are doing so. In addition, over 200 schools of engineering havepledged to become more diverse, equitable and inclusive in their enrollments at all levels and intheir hiring of staff, faculty, and administrators, but evidence of meaningful change is hard tofind. While there have been creditable increases in the numbers of women, there is still a paucityof African American, Latinx, and indigenous faculty members and graduate students inengineering in our major research universities.BackgroundThe work of engineering education is dedicated to making the world a better place. Aseducators, we are called to create classroom spaces that support this endeavor. The
