RE1202 FOUNDATIONS OF ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP

To be successful in an unpredictable world of work, engineers will need to be capable of more than diagnosing technical problems and generating technical solutions. Engineers will need the ability to lead themselves, lead others, and even lead the business, as they progress in their careers from individual contributor to corporate leader. This foundation course focuses on engineering leadership as a process of influencing self and others for some greater purpose. It helps students to understand their own engineering leadership style and how they can have more influence in their daily lives. It gives students practice at using various 'interpersonal skills' that are increasingly required of engineers in a variety of settings. The course is intended to be fun as this will help with learning both engineering leadership concepts and skills!
