As a final reflection, students create a self-commitment plan consisting of personaldefinitions of a leader and leadership, personal values, vision statement, and identifiableleadership opportunities while in college.   We have implemented this module as a course facilitated by a graduate assistant.Discussions and the self-commitment plan were spread throughout half of the semester in aneight-week course. Students who have completed the module are invited as to serve as a peermentors that facilitate discussion and activities. A more abbreviated module could

1:The pilot project included two leadership conferences where the senior student leaders were gathered as agroup to discuss their challenges, and needs, and to identify gaps in their leadership skills and knowledge.The first conference was held in the spring of 2007 and was designed to facilitate the transition of studentleaders from one year to the next. In addition to allowing incoming leaders the opportunity to debriefwith outgoing leaders, all participants were asked to provide input into a comprehensive annual calendarof activities (the ‘Calendar Calypso’). This planning process was configured to minimize conflictsbetween groups while maximizing opportunities for collaboration and cooperation. The exercise alsoprovided inspiration for

Therefore, educational institutions need to adjust their curriculum to meetthis need. This paper describes efforts to move the field of science and technology forward byoutlining a plan to uncover the competencies associated with technology leadership and proposea way of integrating these competencies into technical education programs. The proposedprogram will ensure that students have both technical skills and the ability to lead. This is aplanned effort of two institutions of higher education (a community college and a researchintensive university) to develop

Each studentwas not only focused on the overall competition, but also in defining their roles and leadershipopportunities.

Oneapproach would be for an engineering curriculum to incorporate leadership development coursesinto students’ requirements before graduation.

educational objective of the E-Lead degree is to developengineers into leaders with engineering domain knowledge, broad leadership knowledge, and theability to inspire and lead others. But E-Lead goes well beyond being a program, an initiative, ora cluster of classes added to a degree plan. The E-Lead program also develops a culture wherestudents actively contribute to their own education and where individual contributions are valuedand important. E-Lead students strive for excellence because they have a sense of ownership andpower over their own education. Building this new discipline has inherent challenges, especiallywithin a large public university.To help minimize having to “reinvent the wheel” in starting an ambitious student-centereddegree
