, this group was able to purchasea drum kit and keyboard, and offered casual jam sessions and an acoustical engineering lectureseries to any interested students. The society also provided student musicians at engineeringfaculty events, and became an important part of interdisciplinary outreach to the community.The leadership team involved in this group was recognized by the faculty for their initiative andcreativity, as well as their communication and organizational leadership abilities. These studentswere also offered research positions and opportunities due to their unique ability to championconnections between technical engineering, arts, performance, and professional skills.Leadership in Global InitiativesInternational Study Abroad: Since
, 2015 Surveying industry needs for leadership in entry-level engineering positionAbstractIndustry is expecting engineering students to graduate with both strong technical skills andstrong leadership skills that they can apply in the companies they join. Recent research hasdemonstrated wide-ranging meanings with regard to how companies define leadership. Usingqualitative research methods in an earlier study, we found that personnel from engineeringcompanies involved with hiring define leadership by categorizing it into five main themes orcompetencies: initiative/confidence, communication, interpersonal interaction, teamwork, andengagement. This study extends the prior research by developing and validating
engineering leadership and develop a sense of engineering leadership identity?The methods and initial analysis used to answer the experience component and some identitycomponents of Question 1 are shared in this paper. The approach being deployed to answerQuestions 2 and 3 including both quantitative and qualitative phases are discussed in the futurework section.Comparing the Leadership Experience of Engineering Students to Other FieldsThe first component of the quantitative phase of this research seeks to understand howengineering majors, differ in their experiences with leadership from students in other fields.Experiences investigated include participation in and setting of leadership roles, time invested inleadership, and training and

confidence without conceit. They have a firm handshake, look people inthe eye, address colleagues by name, take pride in their appearance, speak up instead ofmumbling, etc.”“I want the students to show full confidence to look me in the eye and tell me where theirinterests are, definitive answers are always best.” Leadership research reveals a positive relationship in a leader’s self-confidence andsuccessful leadership34. These findings also align with Hartman et. al.’s (2015) study whereindustry professionals identified initiative/confidence as a main competence for entry-levelengineering leaders. The authors define the initiative/confidence theme as “stepping up, goingthe extra step, asking questions, having confidence and/or self-confidence

partner in research papers with colleagues who share their interests, partnering to producechange typically requires a more intense search to find common interests. Making academicchange happen is not synonymous with following through on an initiative which already enjoysexecutive sponsorship. Most ideas bubble up from the bottom, and for a long time they occupyno position of inherent strength in the academic organization: a coalition needs to coalesce. Withthis foundation, participants identify the unique opportunities and constraints of their individualacademic environments and share strategies for expanding and implementing visions of academ-ic change.Outcome 3: Change agents require specific structures of support.Through our work, we

organize our conceptual framework aroundthree key perspectives: an individual’s conception of leadership, the opportunities for them toenact leadership, and the actual leadership behaviours they display.Table 1 summarizes the research on which this framework is based, much of which was alreadyintroduced in the literature review. There are two additions, Northouse (2010) and Ibarra (1999,2015) which did not emerge from the initial literature review but were added to fill specific gapsin the conceptual framework. These are explained in the paragraphs that follow Table 1.Table 1: Conceptual Framework Leadership conceptions Leadership behaviours Leadership opportunities
will be especially valuable to these students in preparing them for advancedleadership positions.The program is designed to allow the student to enter the pathway at any point; however, part ofthe initiative will focus on attracting high school students and U.S. military veterans. Once in thepathway students can earn a technical AS / AAS degree from the statewide community college Page 24.973.5and a certificate in Technology Leadership from the research university. The combination ofthese two awards (a technical associate’s degree and a leadership certificate) will aid students inobtaining employment in technology-rich organizations. Students

initially planned to use inferential statistics to analyze our data, butthe data points feeding into our scales failed to meet the assumptions of normality andheterogeneity of variance underlying these tests. Thus we could not legitimately conductparametric tests such as t-tests or analyses of variance. We ran a few non-parametric tests on ourdata, however with the limited power of these tests, only one finding achieved statisticalsignificance—the over-representation of men in participants’ identification of exemplary leaders.Since this finding emerged from a secondary analysis of our data and stands outside theparameters of our initial research program we examine it in another ASEE paper [53]. In thispaper, we use descriptive statistics to

Not only folks at their own institution,but also faculty they know from elsewhere. At the University of Virginia, our ADVANCEprogram is trying to help facilitate this with an initiative we call Reimagined Spaces—Voicesand Visibility.
