Guidance articles by Gloria Rodgers [4, 5]can provide numerous ideas to promote compliance. In addition, educators at differentinstitutions may be a source for successful continuous improvement activities [6]. Lastly, someprograms use exit exams as a tool to gather data. While this approach may feature somelimitations, a review of the use of a comprehensive test as an assessment tool may be fruitful [7].The second greatest number of the 2018 findings before due process were associated with theProgram Educational Objectives (PEOs), Criterion 2, with almost all shortcomings reduced ormitigated

However,although each of the authors is part of the instruction team, we maintain an analytic tonethroughout the paper, reflecting on the complexity of how curricular activities interacted withstudents’ professional identities.The intent of this paper is not to define a localized set of curricular decisions as a “best practice”in relation to community engagement.

and the sender are key components to consider when addressing conflictand challenging behaviours. Using an assertive communication approach when dealing withdifficult behaviours can ensure that the message, the receiver and the sender are addressed in aconstructive dialogue. For example, Hess utilized the D.E.S.C. model to develop leadership skillsthrough active student practice [13]. This model encourages the sender of a message to begin bydescribing the behaviour using facts and details while remaining calm and supportive in tone andbody language. Next, the sender expresses the impact the behaviour has had on the team or on anindividual using “I” statements and by encouraging acknowledgement and/or clarification fromthe receiver. Then, the
research.This has diminished efforts to teach the means and methods of bringing scientific discovery andengineering inspiration into material practice.Engineering firms and manufacturers who employ new graduates lament that a majority of earlycareer engineers require excessive mentoring and educating to make them productive asdesigners. Their education made them great analysts, but sold them short on design andfabrication skills. This lament is common knowledge among engineering principals, but onlyshared through private discussions between peers. However, it has surfaced in anonymouslyconducted surveys, a major one as part of a report sponsored by the Governing Board of theNational Research Council (NRC), Education of Architects and Engineers for

In the design of our program we considered that stigmamay be especially acute for engineering students.
