Factors considered in theselection of participants include academics, work experience, effective communication, andinvolvement in student or civic organizations. Since its inception, the program has always beenled by either the currently acting dean or a former dean of the College.The course is structured with the following elements:Curricular elements: 1. Leadership literature and leadership from history: Students were regularly assigned articles and books on leadership and leaders. Students then were required to write reflections on these and to discuss these within the class. 2. Learning from leadership journeys of alumni before: Successful alumni of the college were invited to

This includesexploring the impact of microstrip bend and tee artifacts in order to make a practical deviceconform to specific ports on a fixture. Students can adjust their designs to re tune their deviceswhen these practical matters are added. Students also use ADS to explore concepts such asvariability in device dimensions or reverse engineering an existing layout given mask dimensionsand measured S parameters.

, we are committed to broadening the definition of engineering.Instead of perpetuating a false division between technical and social aspects of problems, weseek to explicitly recognize engineering as a socio-technical discipline. As Erin Cech writes,“Prioritizing certain ‘technical’ features (faster, smaller, cheaper vs. quality or sustainability) overothers is a social and political choice at its core. Thus, the notion that engineering work cansomehow be separated from the social world is itself a cultural frame for understanding whatengineering is [13].” We envision an innovative engineering culture that is inherentlyinterdisciplinary, engaging faculty across engineering departments and across campus toprovide students with an engineering
