Warfare Center (NSWC) facility at Crane, Indiana.The DoD and many employers seek skilled engineers who are highly innovative and are strongleaders in the workplace [1], and has developed leadership competency models specifically forits civilian workforce. In 2019, the 38th Marine Commandant’s Planning Guidance emphasizedthe combination of leadership with innovation, saying “For the Marine Corps, meaningfulinnovation is not just having great thoughts and concepts rather, it is about translating greatthoughts and concepts into action.” [2]. However, many engineering and computing degreecurricula, including at this institution, require neither any leadership training nor researchexperience that enables innovation (other than the practice of design

We proceed to share GEL's conceptual plan for a longitudinal assessment system thatwill examine students' development and achievement during and after the years spent in theprogram. Though these plans are still in-process, we describe them at a high level to providecontext for the alumni-specific outcomes discussion that is the prime focus of this paper.Historical overview of the GEL programLaunched in 2007, the Bernard M.

presented a reflexive model of an identity-based approach toengineering leadership instruction. Moreover, the model may be applied in a wide variety ofengineering classes, given the central role that leadership plays in training for the profession.That said, in a lower-division setting, the lower-division lesson plan may provide an introductionand contextualization of leadership in the engineering profession. Therefore, it might be mostappropriate for an engineering survey course, as students are introduced to various aspects of theengineering profession.The upper-division lesson plan can provide richer insight into how engineering leadership ispracticed, as well as practical scaffolding for students’ pursuing their own professionaldevelopment

Engineering students must function effectively on a team whose memberstogether provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals,plan tasks, and meet objectives [3]. Successful teams require all members to be engaged withtheir shared and individual responsibilities [5]. Team roles can help with assigning theseresponsibilities effective and efficiently [6],[7]. Current trends have students preferring fluidroles rather than staying within bounded tasks [8]. All students should enjoy and be successful intheir teams, while obtaining the experience they need for their careers and helping the team toperform at their highest level.To evaluate

Outcome 5 mentions leadership,collaboration, inclusivity, and several management tasks, such as setting goals, planning tasks,and meeting objectives, to clarify the meaning of effective team functioning. Because our programs have courses that require groups of students to work as a team, ourprograms generally meet Outcome 5. However, we would like to do better than merely meet theoutcome. Standing in our way are two challenges: As engineers with expertise in other topics,curating instructional materials (learning activities and assessments) related to teamworkeffectiveness is challenging. There are so many options for teaching students how to work betterin teams that it is overwhelming, making it challenging to select the most appropriate

research design. Therefore, we find various studiesdemonstrate the importance of teaching research design to engineering students [17],[18].The rationality model is one of the most well-known decision-making models. Therefore, itbecomes necessary to look at it in-depth to understand it better. Below are the fourcomponents of the rationality model of decision-making: a. Intelligence: when to make a decision b. Design: analysing earlier actions, making possible plans c. Choice: choosing the best possible plan based on merit d. Review: assessing past choicesIt is interesting to note that this model is very similar to the four-part structure of 'researchdesign’ which, being central to innovation, is already a part of the engineering
