The Engineering Leadership Institute (ELI) develops the skills required to succeed in a leadership role. The ELI program includes an initial intensive training week as well as three follow up programs over a two year period to hone leaders’ skills as they advance in their careers.
UT’s Center for Lifelong Engineering Education will provide a 5-day immersion course, the Engineering Leadership Institute, October 8-12, 2007. This program also includes 3 follow-up 2 day conferences on Leadership *hot topics* -- Further dates TBA.
