But great engineers possess more than technical expertise to turn their ambitions and aspirations into reality. This course will focus on ways to develop the habits of mind and heart - emotional intelligence, initiative, curiosity and practical understanding - necessary to become a great engineering leader. Particular attention will be given to developing the innovation, creativity, courage and entrepreneurial capacities of students who see themselves as future leaders of student organizations here at Illinois, and in the work place. Students must enroll in either discussion section #60321 or #60322. Restriction(s): Restricted to First Time Freshman students.
