LEAD has grown to over 1,000 members across over400 institutions and seeks to “support the creation of engineering leadership educationalprograms and outcomes, viewed by those who participate in the programs and those who hire thegraduating students, as the best in the world” [1]. A strategic planning committee, analyzing thedrivers of change and the challenges related to engineering leadership, developed four strategicinitiatives to focus research and initiatives of the division. These four initiatives highlighted theneed to understand the concept of engineering leadership and how to incorporate it intoengineering

The researchers noted that these characteristicsare indicative of servant leaders who have technical expertise. Of this triad of competencies, onecould say that the technical element provides the ticket to entry into engineering leadership andsets the context for its practice. Many important and worthwhile initiatives in engineering leadership development arefocused on the development of communication, social, and business skills among engineers (e.g.[1]). To restate, this area of development is oriented to predominantly non-engineering skills.Often, improvement in such
