Since 2014, our team has consistently worked onreforming our Materials Science and Engineering curriculum at the University of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign by incorporating computational modules into all mandatory undergraduatecourses. Here, we investigate the impact and effectiveness of these computational modules inlight of our recent graduates’ feedback. We surveyed alumni who graduated between 2017 – 2021and asked them about the benefits of the computational curriculum and the significance ofcomputation for their career. “data analysis” was reported to be the most significantcomputational practice, followed by “programming” and “simulation tools”.

Motivation exerts a profoundinfluence on students across diverse academic fields.

University of South Carolina 8 AbstractThis is the first paper in the panel session of the National Collaborative Task Force for reform ofprofessionally oriented engineering graduate education to make it more relevant to the needs of industryto ensure a strong U.S. engineering workforce for competitiveness. Because the practice of engineeringfor technological innovation is changing and because engineering education cannot meet all of therequirements relevant to the needs and skill sets required for career-long growth of engineers in industry,within the standard four-year baccalaureate curriculum, there is a heightened sense of urgency that majoreducational reform is needed at the graduate level. The
