most growth in this dimension (termedcollaboration in Table 2) of engineering practice. This is especially encouraging since learninghow to collaborate to achieve desired outcomes is one of the objectives of SEED Lab. It alsodoes not come as a surprise since the complexity of the project demands cohesive collaborationbetween members who are “experts” in a sub-discipline. Evidently, students realized how criticalteamwork is and therefore, it is something at the forefront of their minds as a pathway to success.For the team to succeed, more is required beyond the completion of individual pieces. When theteammates come together to integrate their subsystems, it gives them a means of practicing andlearning collaboration. The phase of integration

ExpectationsAbstractThis work-in-progress paper presents an ongoing evidence-based practice implementingintegrative professional communication activities derived from an investigation of professionalcommunication expectations of industry co-curricular partners. Contemporary pedagogicalapproaches, such as problem-based learning and entrepreneurially minded learning, have as acentral focus the desire to expose students to authentic experiences which integrate technicalknowledge with workplace skills connected to professionalism, communication, collaboration,and leadership. This approach can conflict with traditional engineering curricula where theinstruction of technical skills are frequently separated or deemed more important than “softskills” instruction in

I would definitely say [environmental and societal impacts] is on the forefront of my mind, and in the past when I have developed projects for students that has been a key motivator. We had one group that tried to make a solar powered car, so I think the societal/ environmental impacts have always been a driving but underlying force in pretty much all of the big projects that I’ve done. It’s hard to find hope these days in the world at large, but I definitely have hope in

Additionally, in the context of SD1, SD1 requires that students beginto think about how they are going to handle the different tasks within their project (i.e., includescreating a timeline of the project, dividing tasks among team members, etc.). With the projectmanagement components of these Engineering Design Courses, the students perceivedconfidence in using project management might be impacted.Overall, the results from the Mann-Whitney tests are supported based on the structure andcomponents of University Core, Engineering Pre-requisite, Engineering Core, and EngineeringDesign courses in mind. However, 5 of the ten skills tested did not yield a statistically significantrelationship with any of the courses. This result may indicate

they need to communicate theirmeaning-making and its value to others? The purpose of this paper is to describe a newlyrequired course, The Art of Telling Your Story, for undergraduates in biomedical engineering atone highly selective STEM-focused university. In this course, students develop and sharepowerful stories of events that transformed them in some meaningful way. The course instructorand students engage in joint dialogues around these stories that build self-concept and that helpthem to see themselves as being entrepreneurially minded. Preliminary findings suggest thatstudents: 1) thoroughly enjoy the course, but more importantly, 2) explore their unique identities,and 3) improve their self-concept clarity. In this paper, we describe
