Asthe Baby Boomer generation retires over the next decade as much as 75% of the current industrystaff will have retired. This will affect hourly operations and maintenance personnel,engineering design staff and transmission and distribution professionals. The impending demandfor power engineers has spurred the utility companies to work with the College of AppliedScience to develop programs for new Engineering Technologists in Power Systems.

Datawere collected from participants (University Faculty) from 30 North American, African, andEuropean Universities. The following components were examined: cross-cultural education,team-based applied projects, mentorship, and corporate sponsorship. The main objective of thispaper is to examine these components, identify innovative practices, and promote the importanceand growth of engineering leadership education. Through presenting our preliminary findings,we hope to encourage
