ability to teach leadership, the ability to learnleadership skills has been shown to prepare those in leadership positions [7]. Some engineeringcurricula and professions deliberately incorporate leadership [8]. The need for an engineer leaderis visible with the increased need for problem-solving. Leadership training has been included inengineering education through specific learning approaches. Leadership has been included in thecurriculum in the classroom [9], [10] through capstone courses [11], [12], and also throughservice learning [8], [13].The needs of the civil engineering career field are evolving due to the changing demands.Leadership skills for engineers are in demand [14]. In this work, we discuss leadershipdevelopment in undergraduate
