What about sustainability? Adding the “S” to leadership and management competency development in the engineering curriculum

To provide a framework for engineering educators to map leadership and management skills development in the curriculum, authors previously created Leadership-Management Development Model (LMDM). In this paper we look extend model include sustainability by using an “environmental limits approach”, creating -Sustainability (LMSDM). Adding dimension provides contextual purpose as it relates stewarding sustainable socio-technical solutions. This can set common language harmonized context of application practice complex problems. Ultimately will allow programs instructors situate leadership, concepts their integrated manner., examine learning outcomes relevant Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) graduate attributes (GA). Curricular examples are provided give insight into LMSDM courses programs. Future work mapping developed curriculum at multiple institutions.
