Abstract :
The Engineering Leadership Program at Iowa State University was launched in 2006 to inspire altruistic leadership in engineering students leading to greater civic and political engagement. The first cohort of freshmen scholars experienced a structured set of common leadership learning experiences, designed and implemented primarily by upper-class scholars. To guide the process of leadership development and create a standard of excellence, a set of outcomes and related competencies with key actions are being articulated in an iterative team process involving the scholars, faculty, staff, and advisors from across campus.
