Academic articles on entrepreneurship leadership in engineering have grown over the last years. Papers have approached the leadership development from many points of view. Filion highlights in his entrepreneurial metamodel that leadership is a skill intrinsic to the entrepreneur and essential to the accomplishment of their vision. A research on a teamwork project of Innovative Idea in a semiannual Entrepreneurship course of a Brazilian university showed that the leadership skill was developed in 50% of the students that had participated in a survey applied in 9 classes between 2015 and 2016. From this previous result, the alternance of heading in the teams was introduced in a new class starting in the first semester of 2017. Thus, this study has the goal to analyze whether the alternance of heading in teams can influence the engineering students' leadership development. The research adopts the case study methodology. A statistical analysis was accomplished to verify the existence of significant differences of students' leadership development between the classes with and without alternance of heading in the teams. The results show that there is no significant difference of students' leadership development between the classes. The outcome contributes to expand the understanding of how the alternance of heading in engineering teams can foster students' leadership development.
