ENES305

Prerequisite: Permission of ENGR-A. James Clark School of Engineering; and ENES304. This is the second semester of a two semester sequence taken by RISE students in their final semester in the program. The purpose of ENES 305 is for RISE students to learn about leadership, acquire leadership skills, and understand how to integrate leadership theories and concepts in engineering practice. There will be a mix of formal lectures by course faculty and lectures by distinguished speakers who can provide their own experience of what leadership means and how it is acquired. Students will explore their own leadership philosophy and leadership capacities in the context of group practice. Students will make meaning of general leadership theories and concepts and understand how to apply them to engineering industry. Students will also gain understanding of leadership through the stories shared by distinguished speakers with industrial, governmental and academic experience. Alternating face-to-face/online class meetings, see the instructor for details.
