The ability to communicate clearly and concisely, especially within theconfines of a one-page resume, displays writing skill and professionalism. Many of these articlesalso recommend practice exercises for strengthening qualitative resume writing skills and theirimpact on student writing quality. For example, addition of written assignments to upper-levelengineering courses and learner-centered instructional strategies have been shown to increasemultiple aspects of a student’s

However, Lino Camprub´ı [2] contends that they “could hardly be calledpolitically neutral technocrats,” pointing to examples of highly regarded scientists and engineerswho were supportive of the surveillance, control, and “purifying” of science. Similarly, JoanneTuck [3] notes that many German engineers struggled after a massive job shortage induced by theGreat Depression at the end of the Weimar Republic. They competed for whatever business theycould find, including in the design and construction of the technologies that enabled ethniccleansing by genocide– and they did so knowingly. As Eric Katz [4

motivating, leading, and communicating with workers. Academicprograms should develop their programs to promote the development of these skills in theirstudents.The construction industry is expanding its use of technologies on construction projects as awhole, and safety practices and management specifically. Technological skills are becomingmore important for new graduates looking to enter the industry. New hires should be familiarwith technologies in the following areas: design and jobsite visualization (e.g., BIM, VR,AR), mobile communication, wearable sensors, smart sensors, and the various productionequipment and technologies used on projects. Incorporation of these technologies intocoursework should be a priority for academic programs. Emphasis

He is the leader of the Critical Research in Engineering and Technology Education (CREATE) group at Cal Poly.

His current work explores a range of engineering education design contexts, including the
introduceengineering students to the fundamental concepts of design and data science. This work offersa pedagogical resource that shows best practices for integrating the technical and socialdualism in engineering education. We contend that without this sociotechnical integration inengineering courses, engineering education will leave students to reinforce existing racial andenvironmental injustices rather than providing a critical understanding of the social, political, andeconomic context in which they will be engineers. While, no course is ever perfect and it isdifficult to include all the important concepts relevant to a course without overwhelming thestudents, we hope that asking for whom, with whom, and as whom provide an initiation forstudents to
isneeded.The National Academies of Sciences (NAS) report [10] emphasizes that using a piecemealapproach to data science curriculum development may result in content coverage but also ‘lackeducational and cross discipline cohesion’. While programs need to address data science skills,they should also prepare students for the actual ‘data challenges they will face in their careers’[10]. The NAS report also calls out the need to include high impact educational practices such asfirst year seminars, undergraduate research, common intellectual experiences (common andintegrative core knowledge), writing intensive courses, collaborative projects and assignments,and capstone courses. Important findings to note within the NAS report [10] include enhancingthe

The term “design” is used because problem solutions typically require thecreation or modification of artifacts or procedures used by humans in dealing with the physicalenvironment.One common method in engineering design courses is Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach.PBL is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems can promote student learningof concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts. In addition tocourse content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solvingabilities, and communication skills. It can also provide opportunities for working in groups,finding and evaluating research materials, and life

Key research impacts include a feature-based model of successful VMC interactionsand recommended rubric-based best practices for curricular inclusion of VMC.As engineering students’ academic and professional lives unfold increasingly online due to theglobalization of labor, engineers will need to become fluent in using VMC to manageprofessional

Leading schools have begun emphasizing the othertwo categories of skills development.

Programs are designed for students to start their specialization almost immediately,with the guarantee that if they do so and stay on track, they will be able to graduate in four years.The advantages of this model are clear, mainly financial (the faster students graduate, the lessmoney they will spend). There are however some unintended consequences of this institutionaldesign that we believe need to be addressed.
