Annual Review: 10-year special edition

Inspiring Engineering Leadership 2020/2021

Contents

Director's Welcome

This year’s annual review celebrates 10 years of Troost ILead. A decade ago, University of Toronto Engineering made an institute out of a fledgling leadership program – whose three pillars were to be student programming, research and industry outreach.

Over the past 10 years we have transformed into a comprehensive program, well-respected among our peers around the world both in academia and in the workplace. This annual review provides a snapshot of our key accomplishments.

Ten years of foundation-building has braced us for the pandemic. Our ability to serve students, corporate partners and alumni with minimal disruption over the past year and a half is a testament to the skill and substance of our community of educators and practitioners. I am proud of them beyond words.

There have been many pathbreakers in Troost ILead's journey. They notably include our founding director, Professor Emeritus Doug Reeve, as well as long-time benefactors Bill and Kathleen Troost. As Troost ILead's first hire, Associate Director Annie Simpson (whose tenure predates the Institute) fittingly shares her reflections on the institute's remarkable growth in this review.

Teachers, staff members, researchers, donors, collaborators and board members have helped us grow to what we are today. Yet even more importantly, there are the countless students who have placed their trust in us to support their leadership development. They, above all, are our inspiration to carry forward the mission.

Here's to the next 10 years!

Ten years ago, Troost ILead embarked on building its research program. The study “Engineering leadership: Grounding leadership theory in engineers’ professional identities” has become a cornerstone within the field, transforming the academic discourse that surrounds leadership development for professional engineers and students alike.

First-year students reached through integrated leadership learning in courses

Troost ILead has always held the belief that leadership development must be open to all students – not just the few. We have over the past ten years worked to embed leadership learning into the curriculum so that the maximum number of students can participate with minimum friction. Today, every first-year engineering student receives Troost ILead’s curricular content on leadership development and teamwork skills. Our Team Effectiveness Learning System (TELS) is also embedded in 15 courses across the faculty and beyond. Troost ILead curricular instruction is grounded in our research work in teams, ethics and equity and engineering leadership orientations.

ILead’s programs are designed in a way to empower students to find their own rhythm. They encourage students to stay true to themselves when they practice leadership. ILead does not give us, as students, one specific answer as to how one should practice leadership. They teach us how and where to look for answers.

Total hours of workshops, professional development and custom programming delivered for community of practice partners

The Institute has for ten years placed great importance on translating scholarly knowledge to real-world application through its community of practice. Since 2011 Troost ILead has delivered thousands of hours of programming to professional engineers.

…it was great to exchange with my colleagues on this subject. You were really encouraging towards the group and were able to have some of the shy people speak their minds.

Ten years of community: Reflections with Annie Simpson, Associate Director

The Troost Institute for Leadership Education in Engineering, now entering its 11th year, grew out of a sincere desire to cultivate active citizens and effective leader-engineers. It was born of hope and possibility, not only for students but for engineering education and the profession as a whole.

When I was hired in 2007, we were a fledgling program known as Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) housed in the Department of Chemical Engineering in room 240 of the Wallberg Building. Our small but fiercely dedicated team included Doug Reeve, Greg Evans, Veena Kumar and me. We worked with passion and total dedication. I was brought on to expand LOT beyond Chemical Engineering into a faculty-wide effort. We started with six drop-in leadership lectures on topics such as self-awareness, vision and citizenship. At the time we ran one undergraduate course and a series of workshops on team skills, organizational leadership and personal leadership.

As we witnessed our students building their capacities and finding inspiration and community, it became clear that we needed to chart a path forward with clarity and focus. In 2011, the team spent five days in deep reflection. We dug deeply to distill our vision, values and principles to which we would aspire as a new organization. What emerged was the crystallization of our ideals, rooted in the conviction that leadership education is about empowering engineering students with the social and emotional skills they need to lead themselves and others with integrity and inclusivity.

In 2011, the team spent five days in deep reflection. We dug deeply to distill our vision, values and principles to which we would aspire as a new organization.

A decade has passed since that meeting. In those 10 years, we have reached over 26,000 participants through our events and programs. Our certificate programs have evolved into established programs including the Leadership Labs, the Troost ILead Summer Fellowship and the FIELD Summer Program. Hundreds of undergraduates have participated in our leadership training for student clubs.

On the academic side, our six drop-in lectures have massively expanded. Our first doctoral student, Dr. Patricia Sheridan, has spearheaded integrating leadership and teamwork learning in every first-year engineering course. We’ve grown from one to 13 courses that reach more than 800 undergraduates and graduate students each year. And 100 per cent of first year engineering students receive leadership instruction in core technical courses. Our flagship graduate offering, The OPTIONS Program is filled to the brim with talented students who embark on an 11-week career development journey.

When we completed a survey of our alumni around the world in 2017, we were amazed to learn that so many of our alumni identify as leaders in their spheres. Their descriptions of how Troost ILead sparked valuable lessons in personal and professional growth was deeply affirming.

Over ten years we’ve grown from one elective course to 13 courses.

Many generous supporters have made the work of this past decade possible. Bill and Kathleen Troost top our list. Without their belief in us and our vision we would not be able to open so many doors for our passionate and dedicated students. Dean Emerita Cristina Amon – a steadfast champion from the beginning – empowered us to grow our partnerships with other units within the Faculty, increasing our ability to bring leadership education to hundreds more young people.

After many twists, turns and team iterations we are now a group of 11 full-time staff and faculty, 14 instructors and a team of student staff. We have traded in our Wallberg offices for our current home on the seventh floor of Myhal. It's been a thrill for me to be here through it all and to contribute to the culture and philosophy that guides us.

As we enter our next decade, what I am most proud of is that Troost ILead is an institute with heart, whose fingerprint is evident whether we are delivering a 40-hour academic course, hosting a panel, or facilitating an online workshop. This fingerprint is made of love, encouragement and kindness, alongside a healthy dose of challenge, passion and reflection.

ILead helped me become my best, well-rounded engineering graduate. Whether it’s understanding what my values are, understanding how to approach conflict or understanding how to tell a good story, all of those individual skills play into a bigger well-rounded portfolio of what kind of person you can be. ILead does make sure that students recognize that everybody has something to share, everybody has something to teach, and lots to learn.

Ten years of trailblazing research

The research team has garnered five Best Paper awards.

Over the past decade, Troost ILead has brought together an interdisciplinary team of scholars to examine what engineering leadership is, how engineers learn to lead, and how barriers in the workplace can be overcome to diversify leadership in the profession.

Our findings on engineering leadership in the classroom and workplace have been widely mobilized through thousands of hours of instruction for students, industry partners and professional engineers. The leadership orientations and ethics and equity case studies, developed from our decade of scholarly work, are integrated into engineering education by universities across Canada, the United States, Singapore and Hong Kong.

We invite you to engage with our full body of scholarly work housed within the ISTEP research repository on TSpace.
