of decision-making as one of the teaching competencies. This isdespite the fact that almost all modern engineering jobs require critical decision-making skillson an everyday basis [7]. The importance of decision-making for engineering students ingetting jobs is also evidenced by the National Employability Survey (India) of 2016 and 2019[11] and research by Deming [12] on the growing importance of decision-making skills forthe majority of jobs including the ones in the engineering field.This is where we find a gap in current engineering education where the majority of thecurricula do not take decision-making into account. This is due to various reasons including:  Lack of perceived need for teaching skills such as decision-making: Many

how utilizing coursework during the firstyear and during the final year to introduce engineering leadership competencies supportsstudents’ understanding of the value of those competencies. Drawing on data from a survey andfocus groups, we consider the following questions: ● Upon completion of either course, are students better able to identify and communicate the value of specific leadership competencies necessary for success in an engineering career? ● Upon completion of both courses, are students able to identify and make meaning of the connection between the courses? ● What barriers do students perceive in developing professional competencies?Competency Development & Alignment with Leadership DevelopmentIn 2019, the
