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
