and swiftly. However, this shift also necessitates a reevaluationof the skill sets required in the workforce. Engineering managers will need to focus on developingskills in AI oversight, ethical use of AI-generated data, and integrating AI tools with human-centricdecision-making processes. The future work environment will emphasize collaboration betweenhuman intelligence and AI capabilities, where strategic thinking, creativity, and ethicalconsiderations in AI application become paramount [13]. Generative AI's impact extends beyondmere automation, heralding a new era of enhanced creativity, efficiency, and innovation inengineering management. By embracing these changes, organizations can unlock unprecedentedopportunities for growth

principles. We have summarized the technical and soft skills taughtin each of our courses and given the importance of each skill to engineering managers (Table 1).Our program distinction is the business courses, but we included our regular engineeringtechnology courses for comparison. These courses collectively develop a robust toolkit oftechnical and soft skills crucial for Engineering Managers to effectively lead technical teams,projects, and organizations. The emphasis on applying knowledge to real-world problems,communicating with diverse stakeholders, thinking critically and ethically, and workingcollaboratively prepares students for the multifaceted challenges and opportunities they will faceas Engineering Managers in industry. Graduates go to

students’ learning on these interpersonal, professional, and other non-technical work capabilities, the Whiting School of Engineering created the course EngineeringManagement & Leadership (EML). Here is an excerpt from the course description: When engineers become working professionals, especially if they become team leads, managers, or entrepreneurs, they must juggle knowledge of and tasks associated with team citizenship and leadership, ethics, strategy, operations, finance, and project management. While engineers’ success may depend on their own direct input, managers’ 1 success depends on their ability to enlist

ofengineering leadership research first assumes that leadership can be taught and therefore aims toidentify qualities, skills and styles in order to guide curricular and co-curricular programming.The framework by Farr et al. [33] contains both trait-like attributes such as “big thinker”,“ethical and courageous” and practiced skills and behaviors, such as “uses power wisely andgood communicator.” Their proposed leadership qualities framework is intended to supportassessment and development of engineers’ leadership abilities. While the classification ofleadership (for example, skills, competencies, qualities, attributes, themes etc.) varies betweenand even within works, what is valued in engineering leadership converges on a few commonattributes.
