Graham and Porterfield’s“Preparing Today’s Engineering Graduate: An Empirical Study of Professional Skills Requiredby Employers” compared the language used by ABET to describe non-technical skills with thatused in advertisements for engineering jobs and found many inconsistencies in the categories andterminology used. As the faculty responsible for helping students develop non-technical skillsand competencies, we may have an important role to play in establishing more consistency.Session 534A: Communicating Across Cultural and Epistemological Boundaries raised thelongest list of issues and potential

[12].Social capital can be considered to consist of resources such as information, influence, andreinforcement that support individuals who belong to a social network through purposive actions[31]. This ‘capital’ is generated through investment by individual members of the social network,such as participants and facilitators of a teacher PD, in building trust and creating channels formutual recognition and acknowledgement. The returns can be seen as resource exchange, creationof intellectual capital, and cross-functional team effectiveness [32]. Researchers have reported thatthe quality of teacher-student personal relations and teachers’ enthusiasm for science teaching areimportant indicators for effective teaching [17]. Theories championed

For students with the navigationaland academic capital that enables them to apply for these opportunities, the benefits multiply.From knowing to reach out and how to reach out, they develop relationships with faculty thatlead to letters of recommendation, referrals, or industry contacts.
