Leadership Academy Program
Engineering projects in the real world are complex, involving many disciplines and functions, frequently with scopes that have several possible solutions or approaches.
We start our program with a weekend off campus where students not only get to know each other, but they also learn more about themselves!
Team building and an introduction to leadership are presented through highly active learning led by facilitators from college faculty, industry guests and Academy alumni, all bringing real-world perspectives and examples.
The intensive two-semester program continues active learning and application in communications and leadership skills and competencies to not only fulfill leadership roles on campus, but to practice in Junior and Senior Design as well.
The Leadership Academy equips undergraduates with the following essential leadership competencies that the engineering industries and communities need:
- Communicate Effectively
- Act with Integrity
- Value Diversity of Thought and Ideas
- Influence others
- Be responsible and accountable
- Build and Work with Teams
- Apply Leadership Styles
- Understand Emotional Intelligence
- Achieve meaningful goals
- Serve Others
