disciplines, but rather require aninterdisciplinary approach. Originally conceptualized by Rittel & Webber [2], wicked problemsare problems with multiple stakeholders and competing demands, which often contain ethical,social, political, or environmental dimensions. They are challenging to frame and scope, giventhe lack of an obvious “stopping point” when the problem to solution process is complete.Wicked problems reflect pressing societal issues like climate change, transportation and urbandevelopment, healthcare and technological unemployment – problems that frequently engage thetechnical expertise of engineers but require a breadth of disciplinary knowledge outside ofengineering as well, requiring strong collaborative skills and an intellectual

Engineering Education, 2024 A Case Study of Integrating Leadership Competencies in a Global Engineering Design Course: A Work in ProgressIntroductionEngineers have a strategic leadership role in tackling the world’s challenges such as the globalenvironmental challenges, infrastructure modernization needs for an expanding population,technological innovations and developments demands, and global health problems [1].Similarly,the engineering world has become increasingly global with many companies establishing globalpartnerships, international alliances, cross-border mergers and acquisitions for increasedproductivity and competitiveness [2][3]. For instance, the recent merger between two techcompanies, Broadcom and VMWare, required
chose to use this timeframe because my initial research indicated that little has been writtenabout this topic, so a 10-year timeframe allows for a collection of literature sufficient to identifyrelevant theories, concepts, methods, and scholarly interests. It is recent enough to reflectcurrent conditions, technological advances, and any changes in work-related happiness thatoccurred during or after the COVID-19 pandemic and associated adjustments to work practices.Also, this 10-year period included periods of economic growth and recession, so results shouldnot be skewed by one prevailing macroeconomic condition.B.

detrimentaleffects in the racial, classist, and gendered dynamics involved in the success of science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students at their universities. Overall, K-12STEM education has had a long history of tracking and creating inequities in supporting youth toprepare for post-secondary opportunities (Calabrese Barton & Yang, 2001). As STEM universityeducators, we often assume this failure of students means they are individually not college-ready(Warter-Perez et al., 2022). Interventions have been created and engaged with at various levels.Still, despite the hard work of implementation, these efforts have not resulted in dramaticimprovements to STEM educational ecosystems or student engagement. Often, theseimplementations

thecollective growth of a community, providing opportunities for collective input andacknowledgment. This mentorship approach allows an individual to take on the role of bothmentor and mentee.A year-long omnidirectional mentorship program was developed and piloted at a Mid-Atlanticuniversity. This pilot program included ten faculty members, each at various stages of theircareer, from various departments: engineering, computer science, technology, biology,education, and graduate psychology. Assessment of this omnidirectional mentorship programoccurred through focus groups. The data from two mid-point focus groups provided insight intothe developed relationships among participants through their interactions in structuredgatherings. We qualitatively
