“…An effective approach to demonstrate to students the value and importance of leadership is to integrate leadership education into required engineering courses. According to Amadin et al, this approach is less popular because of the "inflexible engineering curricula and additional course requirements 15 ." An alternative approach is to create a supplementary program.…”

A well designed website using various search engine optimization (SEO) techniques can help to survive in the competition. Thus, for the students who are likely to be web developer in future; learning the theoretical concept of SEO is not enough. The way in which SEO strategy is being drafted varies as per the purpose of website. Hence along with the concept assimilation, instructor needs to make the student think critically to identify the problem and solve it in best possible way. Hence to explore the board panorama of SEO techniques, experiential and collaborative leaning techniques are used. The main objective of the study is to analyses the impact of these modern techniques on depth of concept assimilation by students. To ascertain the effect of these learning techniques, analytical data of the entire website is analyzed. Also feedback is taken from student to know their perception about the whole process. It has been found that students enjoyed the whole learning process. The analytical data proves that the website performed really well which in turn proves that student got in depth understanding of the concept and they were able to implement it commendably in real world scenario.

Regardless of the approach taken to help engineering student develop their leadership potential, the engineering leadership development community faces challenges in assessing the effectiveness of the educational approach. Soft skills, while assessable, are much more challenging to quantify objectively and consistently. Simply put, one assessor's understanding of leadership is likely to be different from another's. As a result, improvements of curricula, pedagogy, and development of rich "leadership experiences" that depend on assessment results may be negatively affected by poor data. Further, allocation of scare instructional resources may also be adversely affected by incomplete assessment data. This paper presents descriptions of assessment efforts and results related to engineering leadership educational efforts over a period of more than a decade. The original purpose of the effort was to develop data to determine whether the current leadership development effort was meeting its stated goals and whether expansion of the effort to a certificate program was needed. The results to be discussed include formal assessment by students of experiential learning, compilation of data from six years of class exit interviews, '360 degree' assessments of student leadership efforts, and alumni surveys. In addition to the results and methodology, preliminary conclusions will be discussed related to the curriculum and structure of the current leadership development program.
