The Engineering Leadership Certificate is an accredited academic credential aimed at preparing students for leadership roles after graduation. The program supplements the core curriculum of the School of Engineering, allowing students to learn fundamentals of engineering leadership, practice their leadership skills while participating in engineering-based hands-on activities, give and receive coaching, and critically reflect on their leadership experiences through a series of structured self-assessments.
The Engineering Leadership Certificate requires all students to participate in a qualifying summer internship, by enrolling in ENGI 241 - Professional Excellence for Engineers.The course places students in semester long internships, with companies ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Students complete assignments, participate with teleconferences, culminating in a final report with the goal of practicing leadership skills in a real world environment.
