lessons learned from implementing an integrated teaching and leadershipdevelopment program. IntroductionGraduate students in engineering play multiple roles in their degree programs. During theirtime in graduate school, they should be exposed to opportunities to develop a professionalidentity that relates to being a researcher, teacher, engineer, manager, team-player, leader,entrepreneur, etc. Among these roles, graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are crucial notonly for their own benefit but also for undergraduate students, as in many cases they are themain contact an undergraduate student has with the course staff. In addition, a teachingassistantship can be a platform for them to harness skills that are

It was different from other capstone projects at the time as itprovided students with real problems rather than ones invented by professors but was still keptin-house so that the intellectual experience could be overseen [1].

Students and studentcohorts can be influenced by previous work experience, class size, teammates, coursesequencing, extra curricular activities, life experience, performance in prior related courses, 3 Complexsystem behaviour is distinguished from complicated system behaviour where outcomes can bereliably predicted from past behaviour with mathematical analysis
relating the long-term effects of prior leadership development of engineers.We were unable to find any published studies following specific students and the longer-termimpact of leadership development education on them. The only relevant article identified wasby Simpson et al. [27] Other research by Rottmann [27A], while an important contribution, was areview of literature and not specific to a group of engineers. Another by Reyes [27B] relating tothe effectiveness of leadership development programs again was not specific to a group ofengineers, and rather provided a summative and meta-analytic review to identify the state ofleadership development programs for students of higher education.

Specifically, this data setenabled testing hypotheses related to the impact an engineering identity has on students’ leadershipself-efficacy, while controlling for the impacts of a large number of other variables.
