material and in-class activities, a cognitivist approach. The final four semesters (n=152) were structured with aflipped classroom approach. Students accessed course material through weekly online modulesand class time was spent in reflective discussion and experiences based on the material offeredonline, a constructivist approach. The survey included 55 items that covered seven sub-scales:understanding of ethical issues, global awareness (world view), communication skills,organization/leadership skills, self-knowledge, creativity, and teamwork. Only student paired(pre and post) data were used in the analyses in this study. Most survey items had a significantincrease from pre to post course survey response in the desired direction.

diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). For the most part, these have not been presentin the education of engineers. As a result, the majority of engineering professors are ill-equippedto engage in discussions of these matters with their students.To address this reality, engineering education must begin to embrace and introduce students tosome of the tenets and course content of the arts, humanities, and social sciences. There areuniversities today that are conducting what is known as a Grand Challenge Scholars Program inwhich students are prepared to achieve competencies in entrepreneurship, systems thinking,ethics, the understanding of different cultures, and the recognition that their engineeringsolutions must serve the purpose of contributing

itself. As effective engineering leaders need to demonstrate effectiveness as engineersfirst, four skills needed to be an effective engineer are technical competence, interpersonal skills,work ethic, and moral standards [41]. One problem, though, is that because successful engineeringstudents demonstrate proficiency in a highly technical field, they consequently also tend to hold ahigh value for technical competence. Effective engineers, then, may not value the development ofskills needed for success as leaders.The Communities of Practice model then points to other important leadership outcomes that resultfrom participation in, and subsequent mastery of, a particular practice. While research indicatesthat some successful engineering leaders

We also consider evidence of the alumni’s engagement in and support of thecollege as one measure of civic and professional engagement, one of the objectives of theprogram.IntroductionThe general goal of an engineering education is to provide students with the knowledge andskills necessary to operate effectively as an engineer. The main emphasis, of course, is ontechnical knowledge and skills, including problem-solving abilities. ABET engineeringaccreditation goes further and requires that the engineering education include ethics andprofessional skills, such as communication and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams [1].However, leadership skills historically have been overlooked in undergraduate
