Engineering Leadership Development

Engineering Leadership Development Minor

A 2009 MIT global study recognized our program as a best practice for engineering leadership education. The curriculum emphasizes developing the leadership potential within each student, multicultural awareness, and opportunities to exercise their skills with hands-on, real-life leadership challenges. As such, the minor attracts goal-oriented innovators and students with a passion and the ability to succeed.
