Most undergraduate engineering programs in the UnitedStates are dominated by white, middle class, straight male students (and faculty) so they arethe main contributors to the social dynamic of the school’s climate. Those that are part of thedominant culture are better prepared to navigate through the social spaces and sometimes donot see the inequalities present [24]. For example, one JSY white male student described hisclassmates in the engineering program: it is

After a lengthy career as a consulting engineer he made development of personal capability central to his work with engineering students, undergraduate and graduate. In 2002 he established Leaders of Tomorrow, a student leadership development program that led to the establishment of ILead in 2010. In 2017, he was part of the team that developed the OPTIONS Program (Opportunities for PhDs: Transitions, Industry Options, Networking and Skills) for engineering PhD students interested in careers outside the academy.

, students who desire to earn a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline at acollege or university will declare a major upon matriculation or at the end of a first-yearengineering program. Whether or not the student is aware of it, their decision is generally guidedand informed by many beliefs [6] and values [7].Among the values often considered is the future value of being an engineer and/or having anengineering degree. Students studying engineering at a public research university located in thewestern mountain region of the United States, that specializes in undergraduate engineeringeducation, had very different reasons as to why their career and/or degree will be valuable – forsome, a financially rewarding career or benefits to society was

There is however avery limited offering of outreach programs targeting adult populations, one of the reasons beingthe fact that it is not an easy task to convince adults to volunteer for workshop activities.Scheduling issues, conflicting with work or personal schedule, are most of the time the mainreasons to turn adults away from programs that would otherwise interest and benefit them.

I then made a career transition to teach high school physics. Having sparked my love for education, I went back to school to earn my M.S. in Industrial & Systems Engineering (2015) and my Ph.D. in Engineering Education (2016). My first faculty job was at Rowan University in southern New Jersey, where I had the honor of helping develop their first-year engineering and B.S. in Engineering Entrepreneurship programs.

Responding to this demand, ABET [6] is requiring thatundergraduate engineering programs demonstrate attainment of student outcomes that includeleadership in a team setting. It remains to be seen how universities will demonstrate leadershipcompetencies in student outcomes [9] and how well these educational experiences will translateinto valued workplace behaviors. Despite a purported high level of interest, leadershipdevelopment in industry is often hit or miss, and on-the-job-training in leadership is the norm[10]. Indeed, none of the engineering graduates surveyed by Watson [11] mentioned anyworkplace training in the area
