higher levels of career advancement[4] andsurveys indicate that practicing engineers spend a large portion of their work time writing orspeaking; however, feedback from industry indicates a lack of communication skills in manyengineering graduates.[5] Therefore, so-called “soft” skills, recently redefined as “professional”skills, need to be learned within the engineering curricula and be transferable to the engineeringworkforce. As expected, communication is recognized as a core transferable professionalskill,[2] which is reflected in current ABET criteria[6] and publications such as The engineer of2020,[7] prompting pedagogical changes in engineering curricula.[8, 9] At the author’sinstitution, feedback from alumni surveys and the departmental

For example, the UF Environmental Engineering programimplemented curriculum changes in 2020 to include interdisciplinary courses where studentsbuild knowledge and relevant skills in topics that bridge disciplines. But students must still learnthe basics of engineering and be proficient in many areas. The FE exam is a tool that departmentscan use to evaluate their curriculum and adjust as necessary to ensure their students are ready forprofessional careers. Although the FE exam has its limitations in that it is not a comprehensiveassessment of an engineering education, it is currently the only universal assessment
