2019 NICKEL Conference: Expanding Leadership Capacity

Leadership learning is not a task, that studied once affords proficiency. It is a practice that develops through experience to enhance both capacity and identity as a leader. This conference will explore practical approaches, exercises and models for embedding leadership learning in all aspects of the student experience – both undergrad and graduate, curricular and co-curricular. We have curated a set of experiential learning sessions and conversations that highlight emerging good practice across the country.

Objectives for NICKEL 2019:

  • Build relationships between individuals engaged in engineering leadership education.

  • Form a network of learning and action.

  • Demonstrate and experience active leadership learning.

  • Share best practices and greatest challenges.

  • Integrate new ideas into university programs.

  • Stimulate interest in research on engineering leadership and its pedagogy

Who Should Attend?

University faculty, staff and instructors from Canadian universities with a personal interest and passion for the topic and role alignment with engineering leadership initiatives.
