摘要：领导力必须是工程专业在外包和全球竞争加剧的时代保持相关性和联系的关键因素。致力于保持竞争优势的公司正在呼吁教育工作者培养能够领导多学科团队的工程师，将技术独创性与商业头脑相结合，并培养对终身学习充满热情的毕业生。工业界也在向大学提出挑战，要求它们将课程从设计和科学探究的智力努力扩展到专业领导力和创业精神的更大领域。工业管理者同样面临着培养初级工程师关键领导力的挑战。本文探讨了在全球竞争环境中工程的变化性质，并解决了为什么领导力必须成为工程师职业发展的关键问题。我们将介绍领导力模型的文献综述沿着一些建议的解决方案，培养领导技能作为职业发展过程的一部分。最后，我们将就如何在整个工程职业生涯中培养领导力提出具体建议。
Abstract: Leadership must be a key element advancing for the engineering profession to remain relevant and connected in an era of heightened outsourcing and global competition. Companies intent on maintaining a competitive edge are calling upon educators to produce engineers capable of leading multidisciplinary teams, combine technical ingenuity with business acumen, and produce graduates who have a passion for lifelong learning. Industry is also challenging universities to broaden curricula beyond the intellectual endeavors of design and scientific inquiry to the greater domain of professional leadership and entrepreneurship. Managers in industry are similarly challenged to cultivate key leadership attributes in junior engineers. This article explores the changing nature of engineering in a globally competitive environment and addresses why leadership must become a key issue in the career progression of engineers. We will present a literature review of leadership models along with some proposed solutions for cultivating leadership skills as part of the career development process. Lastly, we will present specific recommendations on how to cultivate leadership attributes throughout an engineering career.
