This integration is viewed as an essential step toproduce engineering graduates with skills that make them competitive in the global workforce.Typically, the courses in the ECE curriculum are taught as discrete units in relative isolation ofeach other.

Additionally, apprenticeships into mastery often begin with structuredlearning approaches designed to achieve basic proficiency in the profession, similar to formalleadership development training (Avolio & Bass, 1994; Van Velsor, McCauley, & Ruderman,2010). While some aspects of developing an engineering identity necessitate the cultivation ofleadership skills, there is little in the typical engineering identity, and even less in the typicalengineering curriculum, that includes seeing oneself as an engineering leader.
