Abstract

A report published by the National Academy of Engineering entitled "Educating the Engineer of 2020: Adapting Engineering Education to the New Century", has identified the necessity to instill leadership and management skills in future engineering graduates. Therefore, the need to teach leadership and management skills within engineering programs is becoming more prevalent. Currently, the majority of engineers that graduate with a bachelor degree have never worked on developing these skills during their academic programs. Considering the gap in covering leadership and management topics in Engineering Education, curriculum reform is needed to adequately prepare students. Thus, this paper discusses the development of a minor program of specialty in Engineering Leadership & Management that can be pursued by all engineering and computer science majors while completing a BS degree. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2006.
