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

We conducted semi-structured telephoneinterviews with senior program leaders. For each program, we started with web-basedresearch as preparation for interviews that ranged in length from thirty minutes to twohours. Each interviewee was sent four broad question areas in advance: overall approachto engineering leadership, connection between technical engineering and leadership,resources and networks, and evaluation/assessment. Most interviewees shared resources(presentations, course syllabi, strategic planning documents) to
