(represented in 20 codedunits of text) also mentioned the related issue of ownership. Some had observed challenges withdepartmental feelings about ownership of the new program: “I think the biggest challenge was they wanted to try and have one of our current engineering departments take ownership of it, and none of them was willing to, partially, again, because they felt it was being foisted on them. And part of it is they had doubts about the proposed method of delivery and so on, being more individualized kind of learning. I mean, they were worried that their accreditation might be at risk if they also were sponsoring that. … So, I think that was probably the toughest part of it, and I'm still not sure [the

Given the breadth of the engineering profession,and the lack of an engineering leadership domain definition, specific program objectives in placetoday depend in large part upon the worldview of those administrating the program or teachingthe course. A literature review on the topic revealed a broad field of perspectives indicative ofthe early stages of domain definition.2 Thus, program facets related to engineering leadership(e.g., innovation and technology product design, and managing complex systems) requireprogram-specific assessment to determine efficacy. Other outcomes such as knowledge ofleadership theory, leadership skills, and project

LEAD activities did not share the same background as the typicalengineering educator. Specifically, participants appeared to have a far greater level of non-academic experience than most engineering faculty. This appears to indicate the curricular andresearch activities related to engineering leadership are being led by nontraditional backgroundacademics. If true, this observation would run counter to the commonly held notion that too fewengineering faculty have the needed professional experience to effectively train the skills neededby the engineers of the future. Or more bluntly, as noted by William Wulf, former president ofthe National Academy of Engineering (NAE), and George Fischer, former chair of the NAEcouncil, “Present engineering
