This includes engineering studentsand those pursuing the Engineering Leadership Degree, a recently pioneered undergraduateprogram [7].

The assessments are conductedthrough a University-wide collaboration with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schoolsre-accreditation, and occur over several cycles. As such, the University accepts a strict standard ofaccountability for institutional effectiveness as it “educates

University) asking, “How do youdefine leadership in an engineering context?” The results were analyzed using qualitativecontent analysis, and four themes emerged: lead and influence others, personal effectiveness,engineering competency, and collaboration. Based on these results, combined with relevantknowledge from literature, this paper proposes a definition of engineering leadership thathighlights the importance of both the engineering and the leadership aspects, thereby providingclearer direction for fostering leadership skills in our future engineers. The definition willprovide engineering leadership educators with a better understanding of how to emphasize theimportance of engineering leadership, and how to integrate it into a general

Engineering project completion from ideation to implementationrequires engineers to provide influence in an often-complicated group of multi-disciplinaryprofessionals. In other words, leading is inherent to success as an engineer.

This requires us to consider inclusiveleadership as a foundational approach to engineering leadership development.Inclusive leadership has been shown to positively impact team performance, decision-making,collaboration, innovation, and motivation. Inclusive leaders celebrate differences and recognizeand challenge attacks on DEI. As engineering leadership educators, we must lead by example,model inclusive leadership behavior, and have courage to infuse these concepts into ourcurriculum.This paper assembles the collective thoughts, perspectives

studentswho may need, yet not see the value of, leadership education. Further, engineering students whopursue careers outside of the mainstream engineering industry pathways, such as research orentrepreneurship, often do not automatically see the value in leadership and management trainingin college; they perceive these programs to be aimed just at careers in industry. Therefore, theobjective of this paper is to introduce the approach that one university is employing to revamp anddevelop a new credentialed curriculum in engineering leadership aimed at students with broadcareer interests. There are two facets of this new certificate program, and it aims to create acompelling experience that attracts an increasing number of engineering undergraduates
