This is the first of two required classes in the Engineering Leadership Certification Program. The focus is on the “self” and “team” competencies covered in the certification program. Students gain knowledge about their own strengths, values, purpose, goals, and derailers. Further topics include project management basics, presentation skills, communication and team dynamics. Working from this foundation, students propose and form teams to enact a Leadership Project that has meaning and impact. Note that this class includes two required weekend retreats in addition to the regularly scheduled class: one during the first week of classes in January and the other in April.
