engineering degrees should be interdisciplinary andmultidisciplinary. Skills related to new technologies, digitalization, and soft skills areessential. Engineering has been stereotyped as weak in soft skills (interpersonal skills,communication), so there should be a change in the tunnel mind of "what I do" tounderstanding what others do and how they relate.Therefore, everyone must understand and participate in how things and technology areevolving in the upcoming workforce. Work in teams and engage with colleagues in thetransition. Still should be resolved challenges among academia, industry, government, andaccreditation bodies. For example, there are ideas that industry and academia are far awayand disconnected when both spaces allow for new

the DIB and meetings with content-area experts led to the discoveryof five technical areas and nine non-technical professional skills that are highly desired in entry-level microelectronics engineers. The five technical areas include Radiation Hardening, System-On-Chip, Heterogeneous Integration and Advanced Packaging, Supply Chain, and Trusted AI.These technical areas represent high-need pathways and gaps in the existing microelectronicsworkforce. Additionally, nine professional skills were documented, including communication;diversity, equity, and inclusion; engineering habits of mind; leadership; lifelong learning; multi-disciplinary problem solving; professional and ethical responsibility; teamwork; andunderstanding solutions, impacts

students mustdemonstrate “an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.” And ABET SO #5states “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership,create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.”Therefore by the end of the program, engineering students must be able to engage and interact witha wide range of audiences verbally or in written communication.The written and oral communication assignments implemented in this foundational engineeringcourse create a context for technical communication in the discipline. These assignmentsencompass elements of technical writing with a clear purpose, an audience in mind, logicallyutilized format and
