investigates the adaption of the Competing Values Framework (CVF) for use instudying behavioral complexity and leadership in engineering students working in project teams.Based on a foundation of other studies that leverage the CVF in an engineering educationcontext, the CVF survey was slightly modified to be appropriate. Data were collected fromstudents working on projects both in curricular and co-curricular settings. The data demonstrateslevels of complexity among example student profiles and draws comparisons between curricularand co-curricular settings as well as between genders. Results show that while there are genderdifferences in the curricular setting, there are no significant differences in leadership rolesbetween genders in the co

The program has three distinct yet interrelated curricular offerings, each targetedtowards participants at different levels of experience and mastery of leadership skills that drawfrom a common skills inventory and set of core values. These offerings are as follows:  Leadership Enhancements to Existing Undergraduate Courses: Project-based first-year engineering courses and senior capstone design courses have been enhanced to include leadership modules with the goal of introducing skills to make project teams more effective. A key focus is the role of self-awareness in effective leadership (and followership). While these projects may have external stakeholders, project scope is

found in current literature as to theessence of engineering leadership. Gordon-MIT Engineering Leadership Programportrays engineering leadership as a process to promote teams to implement commongoals; it represents a series of capabilities and skills that help engineers to accomplisha multi-disciplinary project, which is often characterized as a team-working processinstead of individual efforts [10]. The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE)points out that leadership skills represent essential professional capabilities thatcontribute to public health, safety and welfare [11]. By an analysis of differentengineering leadership program outcomes, one can understand the varied emphases ofthese programs in their training. For example, the

These disciplines were taught in a studioenvironment through group discussions and interactive individual and group projects. This redesign effort by students not only resulted in a refined curriculum for the E-Leadprogram, but also improved the course by increasing the feeling of community for incomingstudents and thereby increased retention in the course from 60% to 92% (measured by the ratioof students that completed the course to those enrolled as of census day).

and literature and business cardsinforming the public that they are ‘values-driven’ so it must be true; their leadership style surelymust be authentic.But before we think about changing an organizational culture to attain an authentic, values-driven culture, upper management must examine its own values and codify them by using someform of validated instrument. When we exemplify those values, and ensure congruency in ourown artifactual, espoused and actual values, then we’re ready to raise authenticity in ourcompany.
