The coursesexplore topics including: self-awareness and emotional intelligence, leadership styles andtheories, servant leadership, team dynamics, motivating and guiding others, diversity in theworkplace (cultural, gender, etc.), communication, conflict management, ethical leadership,leading change, leading technology and innovation, market analysis, product development,entrepreneurship, and strategic and financial planning.A variety of assessment methods were employed in the first year. A pre- and post-testleadership inventory was administered to students to during the
leadership trainingprogram and teach them how to use this valuable engineering tool as a future technical leader.Participants in Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s (SIUC’s) Leadership DevelopmentProgram (LDP) are community college transfer students that are seeking a Bachelors of Sciencedegree in an engineering or technology discipline.

The purpose of this survey was tocollect data on various program components utilized by engineering leadership developmentprograms across the nation and to collect qualitative data on specific innovative practices. Prior to creating the survey we found that there were no clear operational definitions ofengineering leadership development program components, so we sought to work with the teamof eight engineering faculty to create operational definitions so that we could ask follow-upquestions isolating the structure of specific components.

However, the process of professional formation in engineering tends to leadto engineers who dislike leadership, with a perception that engineers solve problems for others,not identify problems to solve themselves.

to lead outside the formal curriculum AbstractLeadership has historically been part of professional engineers’ work life, but until recently itwas not integrated into the formal engineering curriculum. With the support of the NationalAcademy of Engineering and Engineers Canada along with regulatory pressures from theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board, committed engineering educators with ties to industry have begun to takeup this curricular challenge in greater numbers. Unfortunately, many of these programs touchonly a small segment of the student body because they remain on the periphery of engineeringfaculties. As a result, we know little about the

existence of a graduate mentor in capstonecourses is another component that can improve leadership skills. The graduate mentor can help thestudents advance their professional skills (e.g., oral presentation). Moreover, the literaturedemonstrates that leadership competencies can be embedded into the existing engineeringcurriculum (e.g., systems engineering and engineering risk and uncertainty) without adding newcourses to the curriculum. Additionally, the literature states that communication skills are essentialfor effective leadership development for construction students.Utilizing new technology (e.g., GoogleDrive and Dropbox), along with using other technologiesfor communication, such as texting and calling, can help the students to better
