| For engineers in
leadership roles, whether a project manager or a people manager or a
lead architect, success depends on an entirely new set of skills:
primarily collaboration, negotiation, and communication. Most
engineers are very well trained to do their engineering jobs, but
lack training in the very skills necessary to succeed in their new
jobs. The
Engineering Leadership Institute
addresses this need. Leaders are nominated by the executives
in their organizations to attend this two-year program.
Participants gain critical skills during a
one-week intensive boot camp and then add skills during three follow
up programs over a two year period.
This two year investment represents a firm's
recognition that the success of engineering leaders is vital to the
future success of the firm.
The next program begins May 14 2007.
Engineering leaders can be nominated for participation in this
outstanding series through the University of Texas Center for
Lifelong Engineering Education:
