Unfortunately, engineering disciplines are technicalin nature and grounded in societal values and practices that make communication and leadershipskills a secondary focal point, or of minimal interest. There are several institutions, nonetheless,that have integrated writing centers or Leadership programs with the intention of promoting andenhancing technical communication and leadership skills. However, given the extensivity ofengineering curricula, it becomes burdensome for undergraduate students to participate and takeadvantage of such venues.This trend has gained considerable attention from national, state, and local agencies aboutreassessing the landscape of STEM education and developing proactive measures to

Drawingupon the works of others, she writes: “The rationale for cohort structures comes from cognitivelearning theory which suggests that learning is a profoundly social process that depends ondialogue, language and group processing. Additionally, cohort formats enhance student self-esteem, provide peer support, and furnish networking opportunities. It appears that leadershippractices that are transforming emphasize social interaction and group processing, the veryelements that describe cohort structures”. Interestingly, these are precisely the
