Faculty Director, Engineering
Leadership Program
After a national search, Shilo Brooks has been chosen to lead the college’s Engineering Leadership Program.
Brooks has a doctorate in political science with research emphasis on political and cultural leadership. He has been teaching in the Herbst Program for Engineering, Ethics and Society since 2017. His vision for ELP is to introduce students to the fundamentals of ethical leadership using historical, literary and philosophic studies of character, ambition and decision-making.
The goal of the Engineering Leadership Program, founded in 2011, is to engage engineering students in learning about ethics, global leadership and communication. Brooks succeeds former Assistant Dean JoAnn Zelasko, who led the program until her retirement.
