ABSTRACT - Effective communication skills are fundamental to the practice of engineering
and thus essential to engineering education. In this paper, we highlight how effective
communication skills can also become a vehicle to cultivate character and promote ethical
development and professional conduct. Our analysis of communication seminars conducted by a
former engineer and now leadership coach revealed important connections to ethics and
character cultivation. Virtues that were visible in these communication seminars included
empathy, honesty, integrity, humility, curiosity, courage, self-awareness, etc. Student feedback
revealed important connections between communication skills and cultivation of character
(grounded in virtue ethics). While this was a preliminary investigation to make visible the
important integrative learning involved in both cultivating effective communication and
character, there is much more work that remains in regard to integrative learning towards the
Education of the Whole Engineer. Our group believes that leveraging professional skills, such as
communication skills, to promote ethical conduct and character development is an important
responsibility of engineering educators. We highlight important topics of communication skills
that should be part of every engineering curriculum from the lens of ethics and character
cultivation. This paper has the potential to transform how we teach communication skills to
engineering students and how we can authentically integrate two often siloed topics - ethics and
communication skills. Show less

You are a highly successful leader and executive with an excellent track record. You've done well for yourself. Yet something is amiss as of late. You're not taking on any new leadership roles and responsibilities. You're feeling left out of the inner circle conversations at work. You're managing your team with a little less enthusiasm or effectiveness than before and for the first time in a while, you are beginning to have doubts about the future of your leadership career. You can't see what you are doing wrong, but you know that it is hurting your career. What if what you can't see about yourself is blocking your path to the next level of leadership and advancement? There is a term for this. It is called a blind spot. In good times, it is an annoyance, and in tough times, it can be fatal to your career. Every stage of a leadership career tests you on new levels of skills and abilities. How well do you connect with people? How accurately do you manage the perception of others and gain their trust? How powerfully do you lead through a crisis? How quickly do you adapt and respond to changing circumstances? Prepare yourself for that new level of executive leadership by knowing the top 10 blind spots that sabotage the highly successful executive's career. Show less
