Engineering leaders are called upon to fill a variety of roles in organizations from evaluating new technologies, managing people and projects, to communicating complex ideas up, down, and across organizations. This course prepares engineers to be leaders in organizations of various sizes by simulating the planning, decision-making, and communication needed to take an idea from germination to execution and delivery, scaling a team from a few people to a ~200 person organization. Engineers will learn the set of skills needed at each turn of the Leadership Pipeline as they go from a small group creating a startup to a large engineering team.

Prerequisite: a working knowledge of business communications software (document creation, spreadsheet, and presentation).

This course does not satisfy a level 1 or 2 industrial engineering technical elective or a mechanical engineering technical elective
