Mr Identifying Engineering Leadership Potential During the On-Campus Recruiting Process AbstractRecruiters' perspectives are important in determining how students should best convey their leadership skills during the recruitment process. Recruiters are responsible for evaluating and identifying talent appropriate for today's dynamic global environment. This study aims to understand, from the recruiters' perspective, the important engineering leadership behaviors an engineering student needs to communicate during the on-campus recruiting process. Additionally, the study identifies what undergraduate activities or programs recruiters' value in demonstrating important engineering leadership behaviors. The study uses a qualitative interview approach to generate themes of engineering leadership behaviors that recruiters seek to understand during the on-campus recruiting process as well as strategies recruiters use to identify engineering leadership potential.Recruiters were asked to complete a qualitative interview questionnaire during their participation in the 2015-2016 recruiting activities at a large public institution. Interview questions explored the strategies recruiters use to identify engineering leaders, what engineering leadership behaviors are important for students to communicate, and student experiences that alert a recruiter of engineering leadership potential. A list of themes was generated using the constant comparative method. Triangulation of data was achieved through an independent focus group consisting of experienced engineering recruiters to verify the themes identified in the qualitative questionnaire. Utilizing these steps provides a structure for precise and complete analysis of the data with validation through the triangulation process.Results from this study inform engineering leadership educators on how recruiters perceive students' leadership potential in the early-stages of their careers rel...

Meg completed her PhD in Workforce Education at Penn State, where she focused on interpersonal behaviors and their impact on engineering leadership potential. Meg is a board certified coach with experience in developing students' leadership and professional competencies through teaching and one-on-one coaching. She is most interested in developing student knowledge of leadership to impact their successful transition to the workplace.

and is currently a doctoral candidate in the same program. The primary focus of her research concerns assessing the response structure of test scores using item response theory methodology.
