Innovative Engineering Leadership: A Tool to Reform Engineering Education

This study delineates the constraints impeding the actualization of robust practical engineering education goals, pivotal for fostering innovation engineering leadership. It scrutinizes the efficacy and impact of assets and service it delivers (the product), alongside the exploitation prospects during operational phases (the process). A comprehensive interpretation of 'innovative engineering leadership' is employed, encompassing the orchestration of engineering teams and technical staff through the entire project life-cycle - from conception, design, execution to operationalization – culminating in corporate triumph. The discourse posits that innovative engineering leadership is instrumental in advancing practical engineering education targets aligned with innovative leadership paradigms. Nonetheless, these targets must be explicitly articulated within the engineering education reform agenda, bolstering processes, products and services to meet an array of stipulations, adhering to budgetary constraints, scheduled timeliness and managing risks judiciously, thereby paving the path for sustainable development.
