Other leadership behaviors, including Collaboration, Training& Mentoring, Problem-Solving, Motivating Others, Delegation, and Boundary-Spanning, wereless consistently recognized, and some behaviors were valued more highly within one team thanthe other. When asked to define leadership, most team members ascribed to a mainstream view.A few team members revealed a more mature understanding of the nonpositional andcollectivistic aspects of leadership.BackgroundThe Jets and the Sharks are the largest engineering

The study collected datafrom engineering undergraduates and alumni (three years post-graduation), faculty members,program chairs, and associate deans in a nationally representative sample of 31 colleges anduniversities (see Table 1). Education and engineering researchers developed the survey-basedinstruments for each of these populations through a two-year process. Literature reviews resultedin a survey bank of over 1,000

Integrating these workshops into introductory courses would work well.    Group Perspective     The group perspective engages students with team development activities where studentsapply what they are studying about group processes to in-class simulations. Together, groupscreate a team contract; develop a team purpose and norms, member roles, and team goals tosuccessfully complete the final project. Teams undergo mid-module and post-module 360evaluation reviews, where students evaluate self and team members, and the instructor evaluatesindividuals and the team as one unit.

For example, thedefinition of engineering leadership within an industrial defense firm may differ from thedefinition within a non-governmental organization7. All the same, the competencies of engineeringleadership will typically be consistent and the difference will be seen in the emphasis orimportance of these competencies based on the contextual application.A definition of engineering leadership provided by the National Society of

fits into the broader picture of the heterogeneous nature ofengineering work (Reed Stevens, Johri, & O'Connor, 2014), and the role leadership plays in theformation of an engineering identity. In fact, to date, there is little empirical work in theengineering education body of knowledge that illustrates the role leadership concepts play in theformation of an engineering identity. This project seeks to address that gap through a sequential,mixed-methods study. The overall goal of the project is to construct a grounded theory ofengineering leadership as a component of the professional formation of undergraduate engineers,offering implications for the incorporation of leadership development throughout theundergraduate curriculum.

Team-Member EvaluationsIntroductionFrom experience it seems that most students (and people) see the great value of open and honestconstructive criticism, but have rarely had opportunities in which they felt safe to provide it. Inthe procedure which was carried out for this study, students were instructed on how to provideeffective feedback, as well as given opportunities to give and receive feedback to theirteammates on a group project. This provided them with experiences which increased their self-awareness, as well as taught them how to communicate more effectively. Ideally, this will helpthem to be more prepared for working on teams in their future careers.The purpose of this inquiry was to investigate the effects of non-anonymity upon

them the most. As put forward bythe KGI developer, “…in addition to the task issue, there is also the matter of establishingpositive member relations so people can cooperate successfully on the project. So a qualityleader will need to pay attention to both the task and interpersonal elements. The leader willalso use sound negotiation tactics to strike the right balance between the task and interpersonalconcerns.”2 With freshman engineers, their goals are usually to ‘minimize conflict on a team’,‘get everyone to contribute equally’, and ‘get the task done on time’ with positive result. Whatthey are looking for is ways to get better outcomes and a positive team experience! We havefound that the KGI model is able to guide them in exactly those
