Minor in Engineering Leadership

Focus on building leadership, management, and interpersonal skills needed to solve many of our societal challenges.

With the college’s Engineering Leadership Minor, you can complete a series of leadership, project management and interpersonal skills courses. You’ll use experiential learning strategies and subject area knowledge gained in courses from your major, along with strategies and skills to be an effective leader in the engineering profession.

The minor combines new and existing courses:

• New courses center on leadership, management and interpersonal skill needed of engineering students.
• Existing courses consist of leadership and interpersonal skills courses (led by faculty in the Department of Agriculture Leadership, Education and Communication).

This minor is intended to serve students in the College of Engineering. This program contributes to the National Academy of Engineers call to expose engineering students to formal studies of leadership development (NAE, 2004) and the college’s mission to graduate the “Complete Engineer”.
