course.IntroductionAs universities strive to graduate engineering students who can make an impact on society,engineering leadership programs have become more prominent. The National Academy ofEngineering [1] as well as various engineering professional societies highlight the importance ofleadership skills in engineering [2-6]. This trend is reinforced by the newly approved ABETCriteria for the 2019-20 review cycle that includes “the ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership … establish goals, plans tasks, and meet objectives”[7]. With these ABET changes come questions about how to assess leadership. Because theconversation among educators on developing leadership in engineering students is growing, thisresearch seeks to

The larger study sought tosample students at or very close to the time period during which they will select theiroccupational or graduate school plans, and to sample consistently from a single college majorthat had relatively stable enrollments and career prospects. The latter criteria help minimizeunobservable error in job preference measurement due to market effects. The leadershipconfidence and risk orientation relationships discussed in the Literature Review section of thispaper have no known theoretical inconsistencies across the range of engineering majors;however, while we believe that this study’s results should generalize across all engineeringmajors, our dataset does not allow us to empirically validate

andmanagement—often framing management as the bureaucratic straw man against whichleadership shines. Drawing on the work of Komives [5] and Bass [6], we locate this distinctionin the source of an engineer’s influence and authority. When an individual’s authority is rootedprimarily in organizational structures and is enacted through project planning, budgets, orcompany policies, we characterize it as “positional,” following Komives, or “transactional,”following Bass. When an individual’s influence stems from his or her capacity to motivate andinspire others, and is less clearly derived from organizational policies or structures, wecharacterize it as “process-based,” following Komives, or “transformational,” following Bass.By using the position/process
