program, Leading Oneself. In defining“leader”, student responses shifted from simplistic definitions that viewed leaders asauthoritarian figures with the responsibility for command and controlling others to morecomplex definitions that view leaders as those who have a positive and authentic relationshipwith and responsibility to those s/he is leading. There is a shift from a focus on the leader to afocus on the relationship the leader has with others. In defining “leadership”, once again thestudent responses shift from simple to more complex definitions. They started with a focus onthe leader him or herself, and moved to an understanding of leadership as a process that must bemarked by positive interactions and relationships with others. These

As more schools of engineering add leadership education this contributeto doing so in ways that make leadership education more accessible to more engineeringstudents. This will be necessary as graduates will need these skills to complement their technicalskills in order to be successful in industry. References Guthrie, K. L., Jones, T. B., Osteen, L. K., & Hu, S.

wasdeveloped to recognize the graduating student(s) who have made significant contributions to thementoring program. The students who receive the LSU Leadership Legacy Award must benominated by current mentors in the program and voted on by the faculty/staff advisors. Morethan one student can be selected for the Legacy Award each semester. All of the mentors are encouraged to join the LSU Distinguished Communicatorprogram, a university wide program that is listed as a special designation on students’ transcripts.The Distinguished Communicator program recognizes students’ exceptional abilities in fourareas of communication: verbal, written, visual and technological. Currently, every officer inSPM has been accepted into the program and is
with theopportunity to accelerate their leadership development and realise their full leadership potential. Thepower of the program comes from combining the practical leadership experience the students receive as aresult of their roles in various student societies and project teams with leadership training, mentoring andcoaching. This allows the students not only to learn new skills and knowledge but to apply and adaptthese elements in a real work situation all within the security of a safe learning environment.REFERENCES[1] Crawley E.F., Malmqvist, J., Ostlund, S., Brodeur, D.R., & Edstrom, K.

fromthose that were based on leadership as a process [13]. The former is based on traditional notionsof a leader as an individual with power and authority based on their position within anorganization or society. It was exactly this notion of leadership that was associated with theresistance encountered in our earlier studies. The latter, leadership as a process, has beenarticulated by many scholars, but we chose to use Northouse’s simple definition of leadership as“a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”(p.3) [13]. We also use Rottmann et al.’s orientations to engineering leadership: Technicalmastery - “shar[ing] their technical problem solving skills with others through informalmentorship” (p. 7
