AB  - While industry, faculty, and students alike recognize the need for leadership education in undergraduate courses, there is still a gap between the students’ experience in applying these skills and industry expectations. In academia, these skills are typically measured during team-based senior design courses. Courses may invite guest speakers to provide a wide perspective of successful leadership. The assumption is that students will appreciate this diversity, thus helping them remember, understand and apply the lessons. This study provides an analysis of how a group of students valued these types of trainings with respect to three categories: the course objectives, their upcoming professional careers, and their personal lives. The students are surveyed after each of seven guest lectures using quantitative and qualitative measures. Results show that students reported valuing these trainings with respect to each category, with the value to their professional careers being the highest ranked. This study shows students approve of learning leadership topics through guest lectures even when assigning varying degrees of value for each lecture and each of the three categories. However, students do not understand how these topics can relate to their project such that they can apply these trainings for the development of the skills. This study will help define better practices for leadership education within engineering curriculums to help determine whether providing leadership education concurrent to real-world experiences is effective.
