c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Training for Leadership and Team Skills from Freshman Year ForwardLeadership and small-group skills for engineers are not only important for interacting with the 3-5 people on a design team during their academic career, but for performing well on professionalengineering teams, which often include customers, support personnel (who are not engineers),and other constituencies in the workplace. This issue is best captured with this quote from Mr.Bock of Google, “What we care about is, when faced with a problem and you're a member of ateam, do you, at the appropriate time, step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back....". 1Our work

The studentswere given background information about the expert and a list of expected outcomes for theirinterview. They were also trained on rudimentary techniques of questioning and interviewing.Three factors motivated this experiment. First, feedback from co-op employers and hiringinterviewers noted deficiency in engagement among a significant number of underclassmen at(specific university) during career-related interviews. Second, the students in the introductorysurvey class were also struggling with open ended problems
