Assessment in these areas requiresthe measurement of downstream variables many years after graduation, and, ideally, includes theability to connect in-program assessment measures and control variables to these downstreammeasures. We proceed to share GEL's conceptual plan for a longitudinal assessment system thatwill examine students' development and achievement during and after the years spent in theprogram. Though these plans are still in-process, we describe them at a high level to providecontext for the alumni-specific outcomes discussion that is the prime focus of this paper.Historical overview of the GEL programLaunched in 2007, the Bernard M.

presented a reflexive model of an identity-based approach toengineering leadership instruction. Moreover, the model may be applied in a wide variety ofengineering classes, given the central role that leadership plays in training for the profession.That said, in a lower-division setting, the lower-division lesson plan may provide an introductionand contextualization of leadership in the engineering profession. Therefore, it might be mostappropriate for an engineering survey course, as students are introduced to various aspects of theengineering profession.The upper-division lesson plan can provide richer insight into how engineering leadership ispracticed, as well as practical scaffolding for students’ pursuing their own professionaldevelopment

Outcome 5 mentions leadership,collaboration, inclusivity, and several management tasks, such as setting goals, planning tasks,and meeting objectives, to clarify the meaning of effective team functioning. Because our programs have courses that require groups of students to work as a team, ourprograms generally meet Outcome 5. However, we would like to do better than merely meet theoutcome. Standing in our way are two challenges: As engineers with expertise in other topics,curating instructional materials (learning activities and assessments) related to teamworkeffectiveness is challenging. There are so many options for teaching students how to work betterin teams that it is overwhelming, making it challenging to select the most appropriate

participated in the Fall 2022 Leadership Community of Practice atCalifornia State University, Los Angeles, a VHHE HSI. Fellows shared learning about hiddenmenus, leadership identities, and oppressive practices that could shift and change between theirprevious and new roles as faculty and chairs. Our future work in this area will continue toadvance research in the development of mental models towards supportive educationalecosystems. We also plan to share our results with others through workshops and conversationwith colleagues across the country. We hope to create a culturally responsive learning andworking environment for both students and faculty that focuses on making teaching and learningrewarding and fulfilling experiences.
