Abstract

Project Management in Practice (PMP) course at the School of Chemical Engineering (Tarragona, Spain) aims to develop senior engineering students' leadership competence. Over the last decade, 360 degree feedback has been widely used in leadership development practices. This paper describes the implementation of the 360 degree feedback process into PMP course. Within the scope of this implementation, a "Leadership Competency Questionnaire" was designed and applied as an online tool. The effectiveness of the 360 degree process was evaluated in terms of obtaining students' reactions and perspectives about its implementation.
