Many of these elements weredeveloped from association with Minority Engineering Program. This program traces its historyof 45 years to the early establishment of programs within the College of Engineering to increasethe exposure of underrepresented minority students to the many opportunities available to themalong the path of attaining their engineering degree. These types of approved activities haveincluded events designed to foster camaraderie and provide participants with opportunities toengage with an expanded professional network. Admitted RS

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading.

In order for future engineers to produce efficientfunctional texts, they must acquire specific features of academic training in their undergraduateeducation that mirrors the demands of professional engineering career paths [7]. Research alsoproposes that students are lacking in projects that enhance their communication and teamworkskills [8]. This highlights the importance of the role of engineering educators as they are requiredto make careful selections of teaching material that both develops the student’s general writingskills and provides students with relevant practical experience in project-based learning andopportunities to work and write together as a team.The Technical Writing and Experimental Design course at the University of

The purpose of ergonomics application in industry is to make the workplacebest fit for the workers to ensure their comfort and safety. It impacts the workers’ satisfaction, reduces thenumber of injuries and production rate. To maximize the safety and productivity of a workingenvironment, an ergonomic approach must evaluate every aspect of the workplace and appropriatelyimplement rules, guidelines, and plans.
