Engineering and applied science students with at least junior standing may take ENGR 4013: Leadership & Management for Engineers. Through this course, students will learn how to exercise leadership in a variety of contexts, with emphasis on collaborative leadership in technical organizations. Students will gain a better understanding of themselves and their personal and professional goals; how to create a shared vision; how to identify, develop, and leverage leadership strengths; and how to work as a team member in a multicultural organization. Throughout the semester, guest speakers will share their own leadership development experiences.
Taught by iHub Director Tom Wavering, this two credit-hour 8-week course will introduce entrepreneurship from the science and technology perspective. We will start with ideas, analyze them, and see how they could grow into a business. The course will consist of lectures, weekly discussions with founders of science and technology-based businesses, presentations, and hands on activities. Enrollment in this graduate-level course is also open to undergraduate seniors by permission.
Enhance your career opportunities with the undergraduate certificate in Engineering Leadership. Available only to undergraduate students in the Gallogly and Mewbourne colleges, the curriculum allows you to design a leadership development experience that suits your interests.
