Perspectives on Engineering Leadership

?The purpose of education is to mold character.? ?Mahatma Gandhi Both education and character are artifacts of the civilization of mankind. Man´s continued attempts at self-improvement and actualization materialize through advances in engineering and have contributed to these artifacts. In my view, leadership in engineering is but an extension of these artifacts of civilized behavior-a quality that molds the direction society takes with its increased dependence on the advancement of science and technology.
