Course number and title: ISTEP-FTL: Technical Foundations of LeadershipCourse description: Technical expertise alone is not enough for engineers to lead effectively in today's collaborative and global work environments. This short course introduces early-career engineers to the foundational practices of technical leadership: the ability to influence, communicate, and contribute to high-performing teams while applying engineering ways of thinking.Through a series of online and asynchronous modules, learners will explore how leadership can be developed as a set of learnable skills and behaviours. Topics include leadership identity and self-awareness, team dynamics and psychological safety, equity, diversity and inclusion, communication for technical and non-technical audiences, feedback practices, and influence without formal authority. The course also examines how global and intercultural perspectives shape engineering teamwork and decision-making.By the end of the course, learners will have developed greater self-awareness as emerging technical leaders and gained practical tools for contributing to effective, inclusive, and collaborative engineering teams.Learners will apply course concepts through reflective and practical assignments, including:a technical leadership self-assessment,a case scenario analysis,and a final leadership project in which they design a 90-day action plan to address a real or potential challenge in an engineering environment.Students whose assignment(s) do not meet standards will be provided with opportunities for revision.
