parts of engineering practice. In describing the foundation of the practice, Koen [19,p. 10] defines the engineering method as, “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorlyunderstood or uncertain situation within the available resources.” One could succinctly use thewords optimization or innovation in place of the Koen definition. Furthermore, change thecontext or application and this portrayal of the engineering method is equally meaningful to thepractice of leadership! In a nutshell, we have identified solid and robust common groundbetween engineering and leadership. To follow this theme in more detail, let us consider the Lucas and Hanson [20] list of sixelements that they call engineering habits of mind. In other words, the

In these exercises, students prepare a detailed report outlining theirsolution that is graded by the instructor or graduate student teaching assistants.

student development of these skills.While freshmen-level bioengineering courses include scientific, biological, chemical, physical,mathematical, and engineering principles, students struggle to understand how these conceptsintegrate as a whole in the field of bioengineering, in part due to the broad nature of the field(ranging from medical to environmental applications). With time, greater appreciation for thefield occurs well into their senior years (i.e., capstone design) but may limit the amount of timethat students can nurture these specialized skills before graduation. Therefore, by offering moreopportunities to foster research-related skills (hypothesis formulation, dataanalysis/interpretation, oral communication) early in their education
