course. Not every individual on the team needed to possess all skills but theteam required at least one individual who possessed strength in each skill. Student teamswere approved following completion of a composite skill matrix, and an adequate plan toaddress areas of team weakness.Between 2010 and 2013 team and leadership development activities were instituted andelaborated. In 2014 funding was provided by the Provost’s Office for a majorredevelopment of the capstone course for blended learning delivery. During the transition,course level learning outcomes were examined and mapped to the twelve CanadianEngineering Accreditation Board Graduate Attributes (CEAB GA) and the results wereincluded in the course syllabus (Jamieson, 2015; 2016; Ivey

theleadership outcome are summarized in Table 5. The three courses most commonly cited wererequired in the curriculum and included team projects. Only 20-30% of the students completingthe assignment had taken senior design, likely accounting for the low percentage of studentsciting the course as contributing to leadership. The professional issues course had not yetcovered leadership at the time of the curriculum mapping assignment, but students had beeninstructed that they could map it to the outcomes based on the syllabus, if they chose to do so.Some courses associated with the various minors with leadership components were also mappedby students to the leadership outcome. This included business courses, engineering managementcourses, and ROTC courses

The Canadian book, Fundamental Competencies forthe 21st Century Engineers, has also recognized this need, and has added leadership as anessential competency for engineers in their most recent edition [7]. The attribute of leadershiphas also been included in the new student outcomes for ABET (Accreditation Board for 1Engineering and Technology), which will become effective in the 2019-2020 accreditation cycle(replacing the “a-k” outcomes). Students must be able to “function effectively on a team whosemembers together provide leadership, create

have been culturally and traditionally dominated by white males, inthe past they didn’t feel like there was a need to consider DEI issues, hence, engineeringprograms are perpetuating a dominant culture and a way of teaching engineering that does notrecognize nor value cultural, racial, linguistic, and economic differences.Q3: Alisha Sarang-SieminskiDrawing on the idea of stereotype threat developed by Claude Steele [21] and others, I thinkabout how students’ ability to thrive and succeed is impacted by their sense of belonging. Myown work in the classroom falls into 2 categories. First is what I think of as creating anaccessible and inclusive environment. This comes through intentional work in the course designand syllabus to make the

, learners who practice theconceptual tools in “authentic” community (i.e., the community in which the tools were meantfor use), “…build an increasingly rich implicit understanding of the world in which they use thetools and of the tools themselves. The understanding, both of the world and of the tool,continually changes as a result of their interaction”[15]; the implication for leadership learningbeing that the more we practice leadership skills in a variable workplace context, the deeper theunderstanding we attain on leadership and our work.Although critical leadership learning can happen through course-based team work and co-curricular activities such as student clubs and teams, such learning remains rooted in the cultureof classrooms and post
