video Steve Jobs’s 2005 commencement address at Stanford University asan example of a very personal life narrative from a leader in technology. Engineering studentscan especially relate to this speech and I ask students to attend to the nature of his stories andimportance of discovering strengths and a meaningful sense of life’s purpose. After thisdiscussion, I then introduce the RBS assignment as a structured methodology to begin thejourney toward learning one’s distinctive strengths and life narrative.

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
