. Specifically, the survey was designed to measure students’perceptions of seven defined leadership competencies. The survey consisted of 65 core items, 6demographic items, and 4 open-ended items. A 5-point Likert scale (i.e., strongly disagree = 1,disagree = 2, neither agree nor disagree = 3, agree = 4, strongly agree = 5) served as the itemoptions and scale for the 65 core items. The core items were grouped into seven subscales. Thesesubscales comprised the following categories: (1) understanding of ethical issues; (2) globalawareness, world-view; (3) oral communication skills; (4) organizational/leadership skills; (5)self-knowledge; (6) creativity; (7) teamwork.The educational objectives and outcomes for the program were previously reported2 and

The Grand Challenges provides a useful “anchor” to help studentsapproach engineering through awareness of ecosystems, sustainable development, resourcemanagement and appropriateness of technology for more holistic solutions. Such anunderstanding can help students become better decision-makers as they gain appreciation for thenon-technical issues that affect engineering. Communication skills are also furthered throughfocusing on impact and consequences of technology (or the lack thereof). Students gainawareness of their role as engineers and the need for responsible dissemination of information toguide choices that affect the quality of life for all.IntroductionThe National

this concept is not just a minor point or just schoolroom “groupwork.” In English, we took the concept of collaboration beyond a writing topic and had studentsuse collaborative writing to develop a team paper for their last assignment, which was a causalanalysis of an engineering failure. In this way, students had to use effective team skills to writeabout the engineering failure (which ironically often was related to a collaboration problem suchas poor communication). Because teaming skills are so crucial for success in the engineeringprofession, this concept is reinforced continuously in English class activities and essay topics.Another concept that is developed in both classes is that of ethics.
