The responsibility of departmental advisors is toensure undergraduate students complete their intended curriculum, or respond to general questionsregarding transfer credit hours, study abroad, and opportunities within the institution ordepartment. However, such form of advising is considered more of an informative session ratherthan a mentorship experience.A mentor, on the contrary, is an individual who is willing to develop a relationship with studentson a personal level and assist in achieving their goals by recognizing strengths and weaknesses,and utilizing them as a tool to provide necessary guidance. A mentor imparts academic guidance,moral support, and leverages valuable information such as institutional, or personal knowledge,that

Despite a call for engineering leadershipeducation [2-7], most current engineering leadership development programs exist outside of theformal curriculum [8]. This can lead to engineering students’ and faculty’s lack of belief in thevalue of such education, and a general resistance to it [9]. With the updated ABET

involvement ofstudents from marginalized groups. Cooperative class environments are also perceived as“warmer” by students, which contributes to positive outcomes in a host of learning outcomes (likepersistence in STEM after graduation), especially for female engineers [35, 39]. Finally, reflectivelearning can be an important contributor to leadership development as it leads to interdependencewith others [39, 42]; connecting leadership experiences to coursework can deliberately engagestudent in reflective learning on their experiences.The curriculum is only one of two aspects of students’ college experience that influence theirdevleopment.

that might have been prevalent oth-erwise. It is important to note, however, that the responses of this survey were taken at a very earlypoint in the transition from in-person to remote online learning, and faculty may not have had theopportunity to fully immerse themselves in the world they would come to live in for the next yearor so. There is also the fact that non-engineering disciplines such as education and business havehad large and developed efforts to build courses with remote online pedagogy implemented longbefore the pandemic settled in. The preparation and struggle to bring courses online for thosenon-engineering faculty may have been less than reformatting curriculum that was not intendedfor remote online learning and was never

Instead, students have been expected to learn skills through leadership experiences instudent organizations or through workplace professional development programs or mentorship.The 2004 report on engineering in the new century by the National Academy of Engineering hasprovided impetus to some American engineering schools to incorporate leadership curriculum[2]. The report proposes two main premises as the rationale for the importance of leadershipeducation at the undergraduate level in engineering. Specifically, the inclusion of engineeringleadership in the undergraduate engineering degree program will equip the graduate to be morecompetitive in an increasingly global marketplace, and will enable the graduate to fulfill theirprofessional

The National Science Foundation (NSF), noting the challenge ofteaching non-technical information in undergraduate engineering programs, suggested thatengineering programs teach broad and deep professional skills across the curriculum includingdesign, leadership, communication, understanding social contexts, ethical responsibility, andcreativity [3].This study involves the development of new engineering leadership programs at three schools:Cal Poly Pomona (CPP), San Diego State University (SDSU) and Harvey Mudd College (HMC).CPP and SDSU are both public institutions with relatively large engineering programs (about5500 and 3500 students respectively).

A common example of these types of learningenvironments is represented in design courses, both at the first-year and senior levels. Thesetypes of courses require students to exhibit a high level of motivation and advanced cognitivedevelopment, representative of an adult learner, in order to successfully meet the requirements ofthe course.Studies have acknowledged that in order to develop critical thinkers and capable problemsolvers, teachers must understand the needs of today’s engineering student and design instructionto meet those needs.
