Abstract

This article posits the importance of viewing leadership development in engineering through an identity lens. The model presented shows the development of an engineering leadership identity at the intersection of engineering and leadership identities and explores that development through the findings from two national surveys with additional support from a deeper investigation using student focus groups.
