2020 points out the need for leadership training for engineers in order to bridgepublic policy and technology, as well as to encourage engineers to take on roles that they havetraditionally been reluctant to take.3At Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, the faculty have responded to these needs by adoptingundergraduate student learning outcomes across the institution; these six outcomes (available athttp://www.rose-hulman.edu/reps/) include communication, teamwork, global and culturalawareness, and ethics, outcomes that are also part of the ABET Engineering Criteria. Adoptionof these outcomes has required curriculum changes to ensure that each undergraduate student hasthe opportunity to develop his or her skills before graduation. Although not
