provides added value for the particular practicing engineer in his field? Why? 2. What experience(s) would be valuable for a new engineer in the field of practice for this particular engineer? Why? 3. How would you (the student) go about seeking a job in this particular field of engineering practice?Each question, at first glance, seems to point to a specific answer or set of answers, and thusseems “closed.” But upon further reflection, the second part of the question made them open-ended. The freshmen would have to understand potential classes and experiences to understandhow they would be useful in a future career environment. For freshmen, this was a dauntingchallenge.

engineering leadership learning outcomes were inspired and modified from the learningoutcomes in Cox et al.'s Engineering Professionals' Expectations of Undergraduate EngineeringStudents[9], to include aspects of the Gordon-MIT's Capabilities of Effective EngineeringLeaders[7] , the UCSD Gordon Center's Engineering Leadership Core Values[10], and Cox'sLeadership, Change, and Synthesis Survey[11]. These learning outcomes are not comprehensive.More learning outcomes will be added upon further research, particularly on how to effectivelyassess the new outcomes to be added.
