However, it can be frustrating for those who strugglewith the complexity and ambiguity of systems thinking.In preparing the engineers of the future, we are also preparing future leaders. Doing so demandsthat we consider which skills and mindsets these future leaders will need; it also requires that weassess whether the methods we are using to prepare them reflect the ways they will be expectedto enact leadership roles. In other words, how might faculty model the leadership students will beasked to enact in their careers?
