By making four types of EL developmentcatalysts explicit, we provide engineering educators with authentic, industry-embeddednarratives to support their programing. This project is significant to the ASEE LEAD divisionbecause it provides us with a way of scaffolding leadership development opportunities for all ourstudents, even those who may resist the notion of engineering as a leadership profession.Keywords: career paths, engineering leadership, situated workplace learning, leadership narrativesIntroductionThe majority of engineers working in industry encounter supervisory or managerialresponsibilities within four years of graduation [1-4], yet research suggests that many of

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

and behaviors, there is aquestion about how these programs impact the long-term, deep perspective changes needed forsuccess in the profession [2] [3]. 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. Using preliminary research oninstructional features of an identity-based approach (reflexive

This follows a global trend in rapidgrowth of consulting in general, fueled by globalization, the externalization of work fromdownsizing of internal resources, and the intensification of knowledge-work [8], [11], [12].Today, globally, the engineering services market is a 1.6 trillion US dollar industry [13]. In theUnited States, engineering services alone generate an annual revenue of 360 billion US dollarsand employ approximately 1.3 million people [14]. In Canada

Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery. This slow adoption is apparent notwithstandingthe large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of student-centered approaches.This resistance to active learning can also be noted in both engineering educators andengineering students

and practitioners, this paper frames the current state ofthe community’s knowledge gaps and provides insights into the discipline’s future directions.IntroductionFor nearly three decades, the engineering community and society have realized that engineering work has a direct impact on societyand the world in which we live [1], [2]. Developing engineers for future work is socio-technical in nature; success in modernengineering projects requires more than technical capability, but also the ability to manage teams of people and lead them towards theaccomplishment of common goals. Adapting to this new socio-technical reality has brought a recognition that holistic engineeringdesign techniques and professional skills development, (to include
