While they addressrelatively distinct characteristics and processes within one’s sense of self, there is also a greatdeal of interdependence between them, reflecting the complex nature of human experience.

just applied science, despite popular belief to the contrary.Engineering makes use of the knowledge that science provides along with insights from thereal world to move towards innovation, which remains the primary driving force [5].Similarly, according to Nair [6], engineering is the application of mathematics and naturalsciences to innovate and come up with solutions to practical issues that are "useful topeople.”So, to fulfil the aforementioned requirement for engineers, modern curricula are primarilygeared towards innovation and creating technical solutions [3]. Even 21st century employersand governments are looking at technological innovations not only to solve niche problems,rather they are looking at them as a solution towards bigger

specific to theengineering consulting context.Engineering consulting has become an increasingly important sector for engineering graduates.In 2015, technical and engineering consulting services were projected to be the 6th fastestgrowing global industry for the period of 2014-2024 [10]. This follows a global trend in rapidgrowth of consulting in general, fueled by globalization, the externalization of work fromdownsizing of internal resources, and the intensification of knowledge-work [8], [11], [12].Today, globally, the engineering services market is a 1.6 trillion US dollar industry [13]. In theUnited States, engineering services alone generate an annual revenue of 360 billion US dollarsand employ approximately 1.3 million people [14]. In Canada

Focusing oncompetency development helps engineering students gain familiarity with the language andprocess, thereby preparing students to identify and intentionally develop necessary competenciesin the future [3]. Additionally, industry expectations for graduates with leadership competencies,incorporating both technical and professional skills [4],[5] continue to increase, driving the needfor engineering-specific leadership development models, frameworks and programs [6].Despite the need for engineering leadership competency development

Initiatives to developleadership in engineering students has been gaining popularity in national communities includingASEE Leadership Division, and NICKEL (National Initiative on Capacity Building andKnowledge Creation for Engineering Leadership [1]) in Canada. However, the focus on studentdevelopment often overlooks how educators are developing professionally and as educationalleaders.One common avenue for leadership and professional development is mentorship. Effectivementorship integrates both career and psychosocial aspects to develop professional identity andpersonal competencies [2]. Mentorship plays a role in shaping the cognitive and technical skillsof future engineers as well as enhancing the transferable skills essential for

withhigh levels of leadership and professional skills [3]–[5]. Historically, leadership and professionalskills have been referred to as “soft skills” indicating lesser importance than the “hard” ortechnical skills typically associated with engineering. Leadership development was often pushedto the margins of engineering education using an end-of-program project or a few electivecourses to fulfill the requirements [6], [7]. However, recent work explores the potential andsuccess of integrating leadership and professional development into the technical aspects ofengineering education. This literature indicates that out-of-class activities such as summerinternships or research experiences (e.g., REU programs) can be beneficial in furthering

the boss wants to know why a team member is not meeting deliverables and the plan ofaction on the part of the technical lead. This is sticky/awkward because tech leads want toencourage their teams and they only have a dotted line reporting structure to their teams - theboss has the hardline reporting and thus more authority - so this kind of feedback needs to bedone just right. We used the 5 conversation strategies to help the engineer have a powerfulconversation with the boss, see below: 1. Say A Person’s NAME 2. Start with CONTEXT 3. Ask PERMISSION first 4.

stores”physically separated by a distance of over 75-meters at opposite ends of a long corridor near theclassroom. This distance adds a time demand and a need for forethought. The material stores,themselves, have small built-in time delays in their operation (see: Appendix D) that result in studentqueuing. The design of the “9-legged helper robot” is technically trivial (it is composed of smallfoam blocks, toothpicks, and stickers), yet it is laborious to assemble, with a specific pattern oftoothpicks required at internal connection points (Figure 1); moreover, there are four of them tobuild. All of these time demands are meant to instill pressure upon the teams to make decisions aboutresource acquisitions quickly; they are meant to mimic real
