Recently, the KleinGroup Instrument for Effective Leadership and Participation in Teams (KGI)®, which providesan individual with a set of skills to promote social growth, has shown initial success withengineering students.12 A new assessment tool to “measure leadership, change, and synthesisabilities” has been proposed in the work of Ahn, B., Cox, M.F., London, J., Cekic, O., and Zhu,J.13 Developed on a holistic set of leadership skills, their instrument, the Personal Leadershipprofile, “helps each student to focus on what courses will be

. This is a very important point to emphasize, especially for engineeringstudents who are drawn to quantitative data and who tend to be less comfortable with qualitativedata and analyses. Hence, this “set up” for a discussion on analyzing the stories they receivedfrom their respondents is critical to a successful implementation of this exercise. Otherwise,students will take the “path of least resistance” and base most of their paper on the quantitativeassessments described below.When I introduce this phase, I spend a few minutes describing how strengths are holisticallydefined in this exercise (summarized on a PowerPoint) 16. Strengths are an integration of our (a)self-identities, which is how we express ourselves in a given situation, (b

The creation of a new version of the course providedan opportunity to conduct a comparative assessment of the course’s influence on students’understanding of leadership.PurposeThe purpose of this study was two-fold: 1. To evaluate the effects of an engineering leadership course on students’ perceptions of leadership, as measured by the Leadership Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (LABS- III),1 and 2.
