approval from twelve countries [4].This highlightsthe need for global engineering leadership competencies that can enable graduate engineers tocollaborate with diverse stakeholders across disciplines, geographical locations and cultures towork on complex global problems. Hence, engineering accreditation and research fundingorganizations have mandated that futures graduates develop global engineering leadershipcompetencies including global perspectives, multidisciplinary teamwork, and complexcollaboration skills that can enhance employability [5][6].Conventional pedagogical approaches by engineering institutions for incorporating engineeringleadership education comprise of experiential service-learning projects, problem-based learning

completed a project named "Aristotle" to find the components of aneffective team. The internal report concluded that psychological safety is the foundation ofeffective teamwork [7]. The report continued that after psychological safety is present otherattributes (team dependability, team structure & role clarity, work meaning/sense of purpose, andimpact of the work) begin to impact team effectiveness significantly [8]. However, teams needpsychological safety first.Other researchers correlated psychological safety with leadership through individualscollectively experiencing situations with shared expectations to create value. Psychologicalsafety measures team members' ability to take small risks when working with others [9]. A studyby Schaubroeck

Now,we are embarking on a project to formally evaluate the course content and its direct impact oncurrent students, particularly their leadership skills with regards to DEI in engineering, to informour next course redesign process. As part of the long-term goals for our project, we want toevaluate the impact the redesigned course has on students’ leadership development, both in theirremaining academic careers and their future professional careers.This work-in-progress practice paper presents the preliminary results of the first phase of ourcurrent project.

Proposals for embedding ethicsinstruction more integrally within engineering coursework have included increasing the emphasison human-centric approaches to design on engineering team projects [10, 17], mitigating orreducing the isolation of ethics instruction from other aspects of courses and projects [8, 13], andincreasing the use of experiential learning approaches for ethics instruction [12, 17 - 20], among 18 19others. As this paper’s central focus, we illustrate how an ethical reasoning challenge can

, students must demonstrate a variety of skills, competencies, and attitudesto meet course outcomes, enabling a truly multidimensional learning experience.Learning is supported through lectures, guest speakers, case study discussions and activities, butalso through a major project in which student develop a system map of a complex problem.Examples of problems explored include responsible lithium mining in Chile, the transition toautomation in manufacturing, or improving transit access to underserved communities. Theemphasis is on problem definition rather than solution, giving students the opportunity to explorethe problem space in depth. Over the course of a semester, students work in teams to developsystems maps that incorporate both the technical

To add to this uncertainty, the empirical evidencedemonstrating leadership program effectiveness is mixed [4-6]. Identity has emerged as apotentially effective approach to leader development in both the leadership studies andengineering leadership fields, as it addresses the complex, dynamic, and long-term aspects ofleader development.This project leverages identity — how one sees oneself, and is seen by others, in society [e.g., 7,8]— to understand and support the leader development process.

Who am I going to talk to?"He goes on to explain that this same level of only-ness in the discipline-based organizationreflects the attitudes he experienced from his peers in the classroom. He described, "In classes, I already have to do all these projects with all these people that just don't want to work with me. Why would I do that outside of classes? (…) Like, I'm open to working with them, but like, you know, racism, so like, they already have their opinions of me before they even know me."
