reasoning tends to be vastlydifferent. Mastering the material is frequently a means to an end and not an end in itself.Demonstration of mastery leads to job opportunities and paychecks. The student can be forgivenfor this; this focus has been part of the university's marketing plan since first contact with thestudent by advertising job placement rates, median mid-career salaries, and return on investmentmetrics. While the underlying motivation differs for precisely why learning the material isvaluable, at least the agreement remains.Then, it is incumbent on the instructor to assess the amount of learning that has occurred.Modern neuroscience tells us that learning is a change in the synaptic wiring of the brain.Connections are made or strengthened
smaller co-curricular programs, evaluation requires moreextensive effort and planning to obtain the information needed. Co-curricular program evaluationis often complicated by a lack of resources for assessment, yet it is important that any significantco-curricular investment generates evidence to justify it. Without this kind of evaluation,leadership programs might be accused of delivering “Leadertainment” [5] – activities that areenjoyable, and might generate goodwill and profile for engineering leadership, but perhaps donot move the needle enough to justify the allocation of resources.This paper describes a program evaluation framework that has been introduced at the TroostInstitute for Leadership Education in Engineering (ILead) at the

,professional internship, gender, and participation in extracurricular activities. TheDevelopmental Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ), customized for the academic context andbased on transformational leadership theory, assessed leadership characteristics. A pathanalysis was conducted to explore the direct and indirect relationships between GPA, workexperience, professional internships, extracurricular activities, and leadership skills. Thismodel allowed us to examine how these factors influence students' self-perception ofleadership skills, particularly in relation to their assessment of the importance of leadershiptraining. The analysis sheds light on how various academic and experiential factorscontribute to the development of leadership skills
