An engineering leadership development course offered at an American university was originally designed and taught by a retired senior military officer. This course has been taught for almost twenty years and is lauded by graduates as a transformative experience. However, a formal assessment of this course has never been conducted. The course creator (Instructor A) continues to teach. A new section, taught by an academic researcher with experience in engineering leadership education (Instructor B), was recently added. Although the instructors collaborate, their pedagogical approaches and some of the content in their respective sections differ. The creation of a new version of the course provided an opportunity to conduct a comparative assessment of the course's influence on students' understanding of leadership.
