These control mechanisms canachieve results but may also undermine classroom cohesion, encourage an adversarialatmosphere, and be less effective than alternate approaches such as those based on leadershiptraining and research. This paper reconsiders engineering education through a leadershipperspective where teachers voluntarily relinquish control, seek influence over authority, nurturecooperation over compliance, pursue projects and activities in partnership rather than inisolation, and work to establish an environment of mutual trust. These characteristics ofleadership-based education are highly compatible with many current trends in
