investigates the adaption of the Competing Values Framework (CVF) for use instudying behavioral complexity and leadership in engineering students working in project teams.Based on a foundation of other studies that leverage the CVF in an engineering educationcontext, the CVF survey was slightly modified to be appropriate. Data were collected fromstudents working on projects both in curricular and co-curricular settings. The data demonstrateslevels of complexity among example student profiles and draws comparisons between curricularand co-curricular settings as well as between genders. Results show that while there are genderdifferences in the curricular setting, there are no significant differences in leadership rolesbetween genders in the co

A stronger understanding of the different perspectives of this termwill help institutions to develop and improve engineering leadership education programs. Theaim of this research project is to answer the following: from the perspective of engineeringstudents, academics, and professionals, what is engineering leadership and what skills arerequired to be a leader in

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.

You noticed that we were not doing our best work and challenged us to rethink our approach. You reminded us of what we were capable of doing if we worked more together and this caused all of us to pause. No one else would have thought to intervene like you did and it made a real difference. In the end, we were all very proud of what we accomplished together and you played a big part in us getting there.The originators of the RBS exercise recommend that students receive stories from at least 10respondents and in my experience, most students
