RÉSUMÉ

This study examines the role of gender in students' perceptions of their own leadership skills, as well as those of their peers, while working as members of interdisciplinary engineering teams. A mixed methods approach was utilized and included Bolman and Deal's leadership orientations survey (L.G. Bolman and T.E. Deal, Leadership Orientations Instrument, Jossey-Bass, San Francisco, 1990), focus groups utilizing the Midwest Flood Problem (Atman et al., J. Eng. Educ., vol. 24, no. 2, pp. 234−245, 2008) and individual interviews. The study concludes that male and female students might have different understandings or perceptions of what "leadership" means. While men preferred the structural leadership frame and women preferred the human resource leadership frame, more detailed information about this differentiation became apparent with the inclusion of the qualitative data. For male students in this study, leading was more about directing teamwork, running meetings, and project oversight. For female students, leading was about facilitating collaboration among team members, being responsible, and contributing to the team. These findings show that more development of students as leaders working in teams needs to happen during the collegiate engineering experience, as a majority of students are not able to utilize multiple leadership frames in a situation, which is necessary when working on complex and cutting-edge engineering problems.
