Foundation's top-tier designations in both research activity andcommunity engagement. This study is based upon a single section of ENCP 101 that was taughtduring the Fall 2015 semester in a hybrid format.The class met for two hours on Friday afternoons. These face-to-face class meeting times wereused for a variety of purposes. These included lectures on specific topics, class discussion,hands-on laboratory activities, field trips to various engineering-related locations on theuniversity campus, and opportunities for student teams to work on assignments related to socialmedia engineering leadership concepts. Approximately one-third of the instructional activitiesfor this course were delivered by distributed learning methods, meaning that instruction

Other thansome initial discussion, there were mentions of leadership throughout the semester when theprofessor felt that students were not following through on their responsibilities and when somegroups were not keeping up with their assigned tasks and deadlines.Development of Leadership Through Hands-On Laboratory Exercises in Self-Selected TeamsIn many academic programs, leadership is not directly included in the curriculum. Students areoften encouraged to pursue internships and
the capability to lead teams in efficiently andeffectively delivering projects and products for their stakeholders. Yet a significant gap existsbetween this need and the output of the traditional engineering education system. This results ina lack of competitiveness for commercial entities, causes failed projects and failed companiesand prevents technologies and innovations from transitioning from the laboratory to customersand society.To bridge this gap innovative integrated approaches that develop not only the technical depth butalso the interpersonal agility essential to successfully lead engineering teams are neededi.The purpose of this paper is to examine a pedagogical technique employed in developingengineering leaders: the use of self

Figure 1 – Adapted from Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle (Kolb, 1984)11Experiential learning is not a new approach within engineering education as it is a commonmethod utilized within technical courses utilizing laboratory experiences to provide students“hands on learning”. However when it comes to developing leadership within engineers, toooften a lecture-based approach is utilized. Most college instructors teach through lecturesbecause that is the way they were taught and where they are most comfortable or they just have

However, the challenges presented in such externalopportunities, especially for leading volunteers in any organization, can provide significantlearning opportunities that cannot be easily matched in a classroom.This paper discusses the first year of developing a “laboratory” using external developmentopportunities and the structure used for assessing the leadership experiences for students in afocused engineering leadership class. While none of the leadership experiences are exactly thesame, there are common elements of each experience. Specifically, the students must self-identify a volunteer (non-paying) organization in which they are engaged. They must

In the design of this program, the directorswere sensitive to academic load, and as a result, created a concentration in engineeringleadership rather than a minor. Classes are all offered late Friday afternoons at a time whenthere no other engineering classes are scheduled, ensuring that accepted students will be able tocomplete the three-year program by graduation.In addition, the classroom and indeed, the entire program is treated as a laboratory, where allinvolved (participants and instructors alike

Research assistantships, internships, or involvingstudents in the work of professors across various departments will also prepare students to take along-term view in their work. Professors rarely explain their research to students who are notinvolved in their research laboratories, but all students could benefit from observing the long-term process required for real-world innovation, including both technical and leadership skillsused. It would also be useful for students to have exposure to the types of large scaleinterdisciplinary efforts popping up all over the country and world.

Anecdotally, student-written assessment comments tothe instructor at the end of the semester often reflected that students felt they had worked harderper credit in the leadership principles class than in their other classes, but that this extra effortwas worth it. Electively taking and working harder in a non-required class requires intrinsicmotivation.
