Finally, they left the graduateprogram with a plan for continuing their leadership journey beyond the university and into theirfuture. Students worked in learning groups to support one another and actively coached eachother on their progress. Many commented: ‘this was my first time to truly assess myself in somany different dimensions and really put a plan in place to become the kind of leader I want tobe’. It was exciting to watch their leadership capabilities emerge and grow.In the survey of alumni conducted for this paper, an ongoing effort to track

IAC members were also the primary sponsors of senior projects. The METand PET programs both strove to have students work on industry-sponsored senior projects when-ever possible and achieved that for 80-90% of students most years.

Yet recognizing the potential of technology to cause harm, theyalso chose the Kantian principle of people as “ends rather than means”. While textbooksmentioned other principles such as Rawls’ theory of Justice, these two – utilitarianism andKant’s Imperative- translated as a version of the Golden Rule – remained the main basis.This was the case for example of the widely used textbook on engineering ethics [3]. Theother pioneering textbook, by Martin and Schinzinger [4], framed engineering as “socialexperimentation”, and chose three principles: Awareness (of the consequences of theengineering project); Autonomy (the
