Introduction
The Engineering Leaders of Tomorrow program (LOT) inspires engineering students to develop their leadership potential, to discover their passions, and to connect with others who want to be effective change agents. We believe that the 21st century engineer must be able to combine technical expertise with leadership skills to meet today’s complex challenges. Effective leadership begins with self-knowledge. Only after understanding ourselves can we best influence and lead those around us to impact change.
Our Vision
