Overview
Please join the SELM SIG for it’s December workshop, featuring Dr. Marc Hurwitz, PhD MBA MSc MSc CMC, Associate Director, Undergraduate and Non-Degree Programs, Conrad School of Entrepreneurship & Business, Faculty of Engineering, University of Waterloo.
Sometimes we lead, sometimes we follow, and sometimes we step away. While it is understood that we need to improve the leadership skills of engineering students, the same consideration hasn’t been given to followership. Half the partnership is missing, considered less important, underdeveloped, or ignored altogether.
In this session, we’ll consider questions such as: What does it mean to be a great follower? When should we follow? How do we help students develop or rethink their followership identity? What is the specific relevance of followership to sustainable engineering practice?
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Marnie Jamieson ([email protected]) or John Donald ([email protected] ).
