accreditationrequirements [7], engineering programs will be working to determine how to incorporateleadership concepts into their curriculum. Experiences that allow students to develop their skillsrelated to self-awareness, teamwork, project management, team development, and mentoring areessential to building leadership abilities and confidence [10]. These types of skills can also belinked to experiences students have through courses, such as capstone design [11].The theoretical framework used in this study to explore participant-reported leadership behaviorsin the context of working with a team is the Competing Values Framework (CVF). The CVFoutlines four different leadership orientations or behaviors: Collaborate, Create, Control, andCompete [12]. Figure 1 shows

It was different from other capstone projects at the time as itprovided students with real problems rather than ones invented by professors but was still keptin-house so that the intellectual experience could be overseen [1]. The ingenuity of its design

; and the resilience toovercome obstacles [31].Central to the vision of IEP is our definition of what engineering is: “[Engineering is] the art andpractise of changing the physical world for the benefit of all.” Its main relevance to ourleadership philosophy is that it frames engineering as a creative profession that has an impactbeyond the profession itself. We emphasize this framing during the first two years of theprogram through authentic, active-learning opportunities in the form of nine problem-based/project-based learning (PBL/PjBL) activities that run in parallel with and connect closelyto discipline-specific core technical, applied mathematics, and professional skills modules.The cornerstone and capstone projects of the program, the

assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up a large part of that vision and our future.Celena Arreola, American Society for Engineering Education Celena Arreola graduated on May 13, 2017 with

Senior capstone class representation directly corresponds with total graduating classrepresentation in all cases except one: at Penn State University, senior year mechanicalengineering students are given the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary capstone projectshoused in a differing department (e.g., other than mechanical engineering) and about half do so.The students sampled from Penn State are those mechanical engineering seniors completing theircapstone project in their home department.The choice to sample entirely mechanical engineering students during their senior year wasdriven primarily by the larger study that

hearing what [they] had to say and interacting with people’s opinions that differed from my own such as theirs. I recognize this is a major hindrance and flaw in myself, as I believe one of the great problems of our world today is not listening and hearing what others have to say, which often differ than our own opinions. By the end of our class, I gained a new respect for [named student] and [their] viewpoints. I believe that the T-Group has helped me to become a significantly more effective leader, in that I’m attempting to more fully consider everyone’s needs and working styles as the project goes on. It is nice to know that I can be influenced in positive ways like that. That could also explain why I have influence in the
