pressure on engineeringprograms to differentiate. These two pressures together have created the impetus for thegrowth of initiatives in engineering leadership within universities, which have attractedfunding from private donors, companies, and faculty budgets.In 2009, MIT commissioned a study to look at international best practice in engineeringleadership education. The report noted the relative newness of the field, and reported onthe growing number of independent initiatives1. Since then, changes to the field havebeen substantial. Existing programs have grown and evolved, and there are a significantnumber of new entrants to the field, including a Bachelor’s Degree in EngineeringLeadership2.There has also been development in networks dedicated to

And asPennington, Weeks, Weeks, Barbuto, and Langone14 argued, there is a need across the countryfor faculty to teach leadership within specific disciplines. This includes technology. Technologyleaders must possess technological expertise, as well as leadership skills such as the ability toinfluence and motivate others. The Technology Leadership Pathway model we described isdesigned to do this; enable students to develop technological expertise and build leadershipskills.There are

The goals and objectives of the workshop were the following: ● To know how to foster a network of support for first-year engineering students. ● To know how to aid in the academic, emotional, and social adjustment of first-year students. ● To know how to encourage the development of student relationships with other students, staff, and faculty within James Madison University and the Madison Engineering Community. ● To know how to provide consistent, reliable sources of support, information, and inspiration.Upon successful completion of the Mentoring Workshop, the leaders would be able todemonstrate how to appropriately

This wasaugmented by instruction from engineering faculty on energy analysis, cost-benefit ratioPaper 18207 Page 5analysis, and logistics. These lectures were delivered to the teams as they developed theirprojects and were aligned with the schedule delivery of project milestone.By week seven, the teams
, commissioners, directors) have notyet been selected.This half-day conference is not only a transition session but also a celebration of the previous years’activity and as with the fall conference a theme guides the program. The spring conference focuses onteaching the student leaders how to develop strategic plans, create sponsorship packages and inspire asafety oriented culture, as well as reinforcing the importance of good transition documents and successionplanning. In addition, the student leaders are introduced to the leadership team of the faculty (Dean,Associate Deans, Budget Officers, etc.). In one of the early spring conferences, the plenary workshopdivided the leaders into two smaller groups who had to develop a mission statement, vision, and
development activities with anindustry focus were most effective. We conclude the paper by identifying practical andtheoretical implications for engineering educators, student life professionals, engineering deansand student engagement researchers.Context: Engineering leadership education reformNorth American faculties of engineering have been encouraged by national academies andaccreditation boards to integrate leadership development into their programing since the mid2000s 1-6. The US-based National Academy of Engineering (NAE) published a call for educationreform in 2004—The Engineer of 2020, which encouraged engineering educators to complementtheir strong technical curricula with professional skills development 4.

He led Rice’s university-wide program in leadership development and later played a leading role in designing and establishing the university’s first four-year academic certificate in engineering leadership. He also organized a premier international conference on engineering leadership, which garnered participation from the President of the National Academy of Engineering, 28 universities, and leading companies such as Boeing, NASA, and Shell. He has served as an advisor and board member to startups and has consulted with managers and senior executives from many industries, governments, and
faculty resistance to professional skills and other“softer” areas (Shuman, Besterfield-Sacre, & McGourty, 2005). The conceptual framework ofthis project hypothesizes that this resistance can be overcome by approaching engineeringleadership as a leadership identity development process that is complementary to, instead of inconflict with, engineering identity. Figure 3 - The System Level Conflict Between Leadership and Engineering IdentityThis project adapts the Leadership Identity Development (LID) Model to the engineeringeducation context. Since Komives et al. (2005) argue that students enter college with a positionalview of leadership, a key task in supporting students’ leader identity development is to movetoward a relational view

The suggested follow-up activities were developed to be easily incorporated into class assignments at the discretion of the instructor. The scripts and the use of student actors are aimed at the freshmen, not the professional,and need to be viewed with that filter in place. The scripts were developed with significant inputfrom an undergraduate teaching assistant in collaboration with the faculty of the engineeringleadership program.

The threemain criteria for reduction and the associated rational are described in the following paragraphs.Firstly, only programs whose main focus was leadership were analyzed. Some programs in theinitial list were focused in other areas, such as project management or entrepreneurship, with amodule on leadership. Secondly, the programs had to be based out of the engineering faculty orspecific to engineering students. There are many leadership development programs available thatare general to the
