The Science of TeamScience literature has high value in studying collaborations in engineering and particularly theways in which students learn to become collaborative members of their research teams. SciTSfindings have only recently been introduced in an engineering and graduate engineering studenteducational context 3. Most of these studies promote competency- or logistical- bases forsuccess: that by having the right conditions for success, all teams will be able to be

Nodes with similarnatures are subsequently grouped together in order to formulate concepts and then categories,which may serve as the basis of new theory.1 The data for this paper were derived from transcripts of all the collective meetings anddiscussions among the teachers throughout the three years.

They found that recruiters were seeking students who had been involved inactivities outside the classroom and had the ability to articulate the learning gained from theseexperiences. The three engineering leadership themes they identified were communication (self-awareness), connection (big picture thinking) and confidence [10]. 2These studies are valuable because they shed light on employer perspectives of desiredleadership qualities and
