Student Quotes Familiarizing myself with the APEGA competencies and learning how to communicate and work effectively is valuable to me. The workshops in this program really helped shape me into a better leader, team member, and student. Before I joined the Engineering Leadership Program, I always had this misconception that leadership was only task-oriented but now I realize that it is also heavily relationship- oriented Thanks to the Engineering Leadership Program, I feel more equipped and prepared to be an engineering leader in the real world.
