IntroductionProcess is a major focus of software engineering and its curriculum;13, 18 because of this, projectmanagement has been included as a required topic of study in many of these programs.24 Whileproject management principles and practices are frequently a part of these classes,6, 11, 14, 21 manydo not include the opportunity to participate as a project manager (PM) or as a member of a PM-led team.12 It is important to include the hands-on leadership and planning elements that makeproject management a discipline rather than simply conveying a collection of relatedmethodologies.8 In many cases, the disciplines involved in project management itself has fallento the instructors; this is often carried out

Most, if not all,Construction Engineering and Management undergraduate and graduate programs require thatstudents complete construction cost estimating courses as part of their core curriculum.However, the value of estimating the owner’s planning, design, and procurement costs during thepreconstruction period is not typically included in the Construction Engineering andManagement curriculum.

While "engineering" and "management"are supposedly two distinct streams of education, the distinction between ConE and CM becomes blurred in real-lifesituations. For example, the word "Engineering" is defined as "using scientific principles to design and buildmachines, structures, and other things, including bridges, roads, vehicles, and buildings" [11].

Figure 1: Two phases of creativity [8].The study of creativity in engineering education is becoming increasingly popular, but it tends tobe associated with courses on design (and there, only in idea generation) [9]. Likewise, there areonly a few short courses specifically focused on engineering leadership (e.g., EngineeringLeadership at MIT [10] and Leadership Development for Engineers at Rice University [11]), andeven fewer of these courses make creativity a specific focus (e.g., LJMU’s Leadership Skillsmodule).
