In one of my bullets for leadership experience, I state:
-Organizing electronics team schedule, meetings, deadlines and other criteria
I think the "other criteria" part doesn't make sense, Is this glaring enough for an engineering firm to notice?
If so, is it worth resending?
You've already sent it out. Sending out another one in such a short time is likely to be seen as spamming and could do more damage to your image and how the company perceives you than two unnecessary words on your resume. The only time you would really send out another resume to the same firm is if your first resume was the wrong format or did not contain the relevant information pertaining to that firm's vacant position.
Such a small matter like those two words are unlikely to make a big difference. I recommend just not worrying about it and keep trekking forward in your job search.
Definitely, definitely correct your resume to make sure an end comes to that phrase.
Do send it to new potential employers.
Don't bother resending to anyone just for that change. 90% won't notice it. 99% won't care. The one percent who do care you do not want to work for.
It's good you recognize it as a somewhat weak resume statement about leadership. As one who reads a lot of resumes, fuzzy statements like that can lower my opinion of the candidate, especially if they have some years of experience under their belt. You should revise your resume and send it again to the company(s) with the explanation that you want them to have the most recent update to your resume (don't highlight what you changed).
But remember, you have no control over where your resumes get sent, and when, so be prepared for that phrase to show up. If it does, and they ask you about it, be prepared with a response of what "other criteria" was intended to imply. A good response will erase any doubts they may have about that phrase and what it might have implied.
