Overview

This lesson is intended to follow the “CEGC Case Study Activity”.

The Canadian Engineering Grand Challenges (CEGC) Self Leadership lesson has two major components.

• Component 1 – Presentation – Introduction to Engineering Leadership, leadership skills and leadership domains of influence
• Component 2 – Lesson – Personal Values and CEGC Case Study

The intent is to orient the student to the concept of Engineering as a Leadership Profession and facilitate an understanding of their own personal leadership development in the context of personal values. This concept of values is then connected to their emerging roles as engineering practitioners by reviewing values in the context of a CEGC Case Study.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify your top personal values.
2. Explore your personal values in the context of leadership.
3. Explore your personal values in the context of a CEGC case study.
