We discuss the pedagogical approaches that: 1) foster reflective self-leadership; 2)support the emergence of personal vision; and 3) create learning communities. We conclude bysharing recommendations for engineering educators to implement engineering-graduate-student-specific, leadership development initiatives at their institutions.ContextThe Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at U of T is home to approximately 3000graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and 5000 undergraduate students. The graduatestudent population is divided equally into three degree-programs, PhD, research-based Masters,and course-based, professional Masters. Of all graduate students, 29% identify as women and42% are

parts of engineering practice. In describing the foundation of the practice, Koen [19,p. 10] defines the engineering method as, “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorlyunderstood or uncertain situation within the available resources.” One could succinctly use thewords optimization or innovation in place of the Koen definition. Furthermore, change thecontext or application and this portrayal of the engineering method is equally meaningful to thepractice of leadership! In a nutshell, we have identified solid and robust common groundbetween engineering and leadership. To follow this theme in more detail, let us consider the Lucas and Hanson [20] list of sixelements that they call engineering habits of mind. In other words, the

These approaches include leader-memberexchange [8], situational leadership [9], resonant leadership [10], servant leadership [11],transformational leadership [12], and path-goal [13].In leadership literature, leading a cause is a process defined by the technical requirements of aproject as well as the political (regulatory

Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading.

Self-efficacy beliefs also contribute to learning.Given this framework, the research
