the CEE Department. Development of professional skillsculminates in a civil engineering capstone class were students work on multidisciplinary teams toachieve common design project goals and communicate their engineering findings to aprofessional and public audience. Specific CEE courses that develop student professional skillsare identified in Table 2 and are further described in an accompanying matrix provided in Table3 that summarizes mapping of 28 course objectives to levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Courseobjectives are mapped to Bloom’s Taxonomy levels and provide a collective view of curriculummapping for professional skills development. Half, 14 of 28, of the course goals aligned withprofessional skills development are from Professional

insolving problems. In this paper, we present curriculum design, early results andrecommendations from first year assessment of the program and plans for future programmaticelements and assessment.Students are accepted into the leadership program during sophomore year. The curriculum isdesigned to follow an intentional sequence of experiences that meet students’ developmentalreadiness and needs over the three years in the program. In each year, the student cohortsexplore one of three themes of the program (leading oneself, leading with others, or leadingtechnology and innovation) through a combination of three formal leadership courses, a varietyof experiential learning opportunities, and the completion of a capstone project. Uponcompletion of the

connection list, however, omits the idea of technology.Instead, people and organization appeared frequently at the connection between the leadershipand social media concepts.As the capstone project of this course, the Grand Challenges videos culminated in the applicationof the social media and engineering leadership connections explored throughout the course. Theproject required team leadership to choose and represent the challenge, some technology skill toproduce the video, and teamwork to complete the task as assigned. Written peer evaluations ofthe videos were conducted after each video was shown during a class period. Students wereasked to assess each video in terms of engineering design, communication, production,teamwork and promoting positive
