privilege in terms of her race (i.e., operating as a Whitewoman in predominantly White spaces) in civil engineering. She understands that due tointersectionality one's identity and experiences are a result of interconnected socialcategorizations such as race, class, and gender [37]. The first author made an effort to continuallyconsult with the existing literature and the participants (via member checking), and peer debriefwith the second author and other graduate students in her lab (a Black man and Black woman) toensure trustworthiness of the findings.Research QuestionWhat do inclusive engineering spaces look and feel like to early-career women in civilengineering?MethodsThis exploratory research is a part of a large qualitative study following

their own decisions or courses of action(i.e., where the stakes and tradeoffs are real to the learner). As one author describes it, theseapproaches “[allow] students to draw on their own experiences…to create a focal point andmeaning around abstract ethical concepts” [19, p. 1390].While the literature on experiential learning in engineering ethics has grown substantially inrecent years, extensions of this strategy into the realm of engineering leadership education iscomparatively rarer in published research. Our development of The Mystery Lab, therefore,leverages an opportunity to explore how the strengths of an experiential approach to ethicsinstruction can be applied not just to personal decision making, but to the collective behaviors

leadership elective at theUniversity of Toronto: Systems Mapping for Complex Problems. The paper offers observationsfrom the first two offerings of the course based on student assignments and semi-structuredinterviews conducted with students, augmented by instructor reflections. Our goal is to motivatefurther exploration in connecting leadership and systems thinking in the context of engineeringprograms.Systems ThinkingDonella Meadows, an early leader in the systems thinking movement, defined a system as “a setof things interconnected in such a way that they produce their own pattern of behavior over time”[12]. Her work focused on sustainability; as the lead author on “Limits to Growth,” Meadowshad a deep appreciation for the complexity of

looking for technically skilled professionals andindividuals with strong leadership abilities. Leadership in engineering is the ability to guide,motivate, and influence a team of professionals toward achieving goals and objectives. TheEngineering School of a University in Chile needs to understand the self-perceived skills of itsstudents, especially those in the final years of their engineering programs. This will help thefaculty prepare future professionals for team management, decision-making, and otheressential skills required in their careers. The School can align their graduation standards withthe career profiles of the students to ensure they are well-equipped to succeed in theirprofession.Numerous studies have suggested that there is a

section first describes the omnidirectional mentorship program as an interventiondesigned to support faculty at career transitions in which they complete a year-long programaimed to provide mentorship opportunities for participants. Second, we describe the focus groupmethodology used to explore the participant’s experiences in the program to illustrate themeaning-making, impacts, and strengths and weaknesses of this program.Our approach to mentorship was designed with three key elements in mind: 1) catalyst, 2)affirmation, and 3) negotiation. Chiefly, catalyst introduces and sparks engagement amongparticipants; affirmations support professional and personal development and growth; andnegotiations reconcile individuals’ sense of self and belonging

Some of the research topics included,exploring the experiences of women in STEM, Black students in engineering, and communitycollege engineering students. Students were guided by initial literature and research questions ontheir selected topic but were given the freedom to explore and present their findings

the leadership,communication, and cultural competencies increasingly required of today's high-tech workforce.The John Lof Leadership Academy (JLLA) is an innovative leadership program for engineeringgraduate students that was founded at the University of Connecticut in 2018 to create culturallycompetent visionaries in the field of engineering. John Lof Scholars develop their leadershipabilities through focused training, specialized workshops and seminars, and active learning. Runby graduate students from various departments based on a “for us, by us” program philosophy, theJLLA empowers its members to develop as leaders in their fields by aiming leadership trainingthrough the lens of each individual’s career and personal goals.

approaches include exploring the connection between personal values,personal story, and principles (or personal ethics) and students’ behaviors that can affectpsychological safety on teams.IntroductionWithin this work we examine ethics as the collection of principles that we use to motivate us andhelp us make decisions and guide our interactions with those around us and work that we do.Therefore, our ethic is made up of the principles that motivate, inform, and guide our daily lives.From this standpoint, the discussion on ethics development should extend beyond why theChallenger exploded or the causes behind the Hyatt Regency Bridge failure.If we apply the four domains of Leadership Model [1], the development of a leadership ethic notonly includes
