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.

Program take a three-credit hour leadership course eachsemester. The course in each semester includes a mandatory pre-semester retreat that is anintensive, multi-day event consisting of experiential learning, interactive exercises and dialogue.During the semester, weekly class sessions include dialogue with peers, business simulations,personal reflections, case study discussions, and conversations with thought leaders fromindustry, government, and nonprofit organizations.The student selection process includes an application, reference check and interview. Thestudents must be in good academic standing, but their grade point average is not a considerationin the selection process. Rather, we select students based on commitment to personal growth

Items requiring a numerically-rated response were used to identify levels of valuefaculty placed on leadership within the undergraduate engineering curriculum. For all items, an“other” option was provided to capture any unanticipated responses. In the event that

learning goals and explore potential new learninggoals.Qualitative DataA total of 297 weekly reflection papers and 27 final papers from 27 undergraduate studentsacross two independent cohorts served as the source of data for this qualitative research study.For the weekly reflection papers, the students were asked to reflect on their experiences duringthe weekly T-Group. The students were asked to write a reflection about situations which had asignificant impact on them. The weekly reflection papers enabled the author to perform alongitudinal analysis in regards to the student’s development of their authentic leadership skillsand to conduct triangulation of the data between individuals, peers, and facilitator.For the final papers (min. 3,500 words
to explore their own implicit bias in the areas ofrace, gender issues, and age (the core focuses within the course). Key elements of successful implementation into the engineering leadership environmentincluded creation and access of peer support and a course operational agreement that studentswere invited to sign that outlined inclusive pedagogical approaches and mindsets. Access to peersupport during the process of building skills necessary to facilitate a course like the onedescribed in this project could be achieved by engaging with diversity offices or other experts,participating in reading groups, or paying consultants with expertise in developing instructorcapacity in the areas of diversity and inclusion.

For example, when a participant described studentsobtaining professional skills through their participation in a student organization, the responsewas coded as “development of professional skills in student organization”. In the third phase, theresearcher grouped codes with similar meanings to understand the emergent patterns and nuancesin the data. Thematic analysis helped the researcher identify three themes and gain a deeperunderstanding of faculty members’ prevalent perceptions of student career preparation for eachskill. In the last phase, peer debriefing was utilized to increase the credibility and trustworthinessof the qualitative data analysis [27]. For this step, the first author checked the themes with thesecond

Factors considered in theselection of participants include academics, work experience, effective communication, andinvolvement in student or civic organizations. Since its inception, the program has always beenled by either the currently acting dean or a former dean of the College.The course is structured with the following elements:Curricular elements: 1. Leadership literature and leadership from history: Students were regularly assigned articles and books on leadership and leaders. Students then were required to write reflections on these and to discuss these within the class. 2. Learning from leadership journeys of alumni before: Successful alumni of the college were invited to
