A key difference between thesetwo institutions’ proposals is that UCH developed its own strategic plan, while UC created aconsortium with Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM), another prestigiousinstitution within the region. By comparing both strategies, this investigation seeks to understandcurricular and organizational change in selective institutions after the first years of the designingand implementation of the program. As a conceptual framework, we ground our work in the richliterature of change in engineering education, in particular the branch that studies national effortsand coalitions for change.

educational objective of the E-Lead degree is to developengineers into leaders with engineering domain knowledge, broad leadership knowledge, and theability to inspire and lead others. But E-Lead goes well beyond being a program, an initiative, ora cluster of classes added to a degree plan. The E-Lead program also develops a culture wherestudents actively contribute to their own education and where individual contributions are valuedand important. E-Lead students strive for excellence because they have a sense of ownership andpower over their own education. Building this new discipline has inherent challenges, especiallywithin a large public university.To help minimize having to “reinvent the wheel” in starting an ambitious student-centereddegree

Verbalpersuasion is most effective at increasing self-efficacy when the one doing the persuading is seenas an expert [13]. Exposure to verbal persuasion is also likely to be low for pre-serviceelementary teachers, as engineering design is not a focus of the pre-service curriculum. A majorexception to this, as with mastery experience, would be those in the section of the sciencemethods course at Purdue University that utilizes engineering design. These students activelydesign engineering concepts into science lesson plans with students. This provides masteryexperience while the rest of the course ideally provides verbal
