studies have identified communication as one of the mostimportant transferrable employment skills – one that often influences job performance and careeradvancement (Grant and Dickson 2006; Leydens et al. 2008; Poe et al. 2010; Lopes et al. 2015;Bercich et al. 2018; Young and Ashman 2019). Despite the importance of communication skills,several studies have identified communication-related shortcomings in recent graduates, such asconvoluted writing, imprecise or inaccurate content, and an inability to meaningfully 1communicate technical conclusions (Paretti 2006; Craig et al. 2008; Mohan 2009; Conrad 2017;Fletcher et al. 2017).While most engineering curricula include some technical communication

andethics primarily from relatives and co-workers who are engineers, and rarely from technicalengineering courses. Our survey findings may support the idea that for the curriculum to beeffective students must have more practical experience, social interaction, and exposure to theengineering practice. This may be gained firsthand through internships and contact withengineering practitioners and being exposed to formal and informal expectations as well aseveryday practice.References[1] Rabb, R. and Greenburg, D.

itdifficult to understand the angles and three-dimensional space on the paper. All the studentsresponded that it was not difficult to understand. It was great to see that the students could notunderstand why it would be a problem for anyone. The students found it so intuitive and easythat they just could not believe that this has been a difficult-to-understand concept in the past.While one could argue that the group used for analysis was small, it must be noted that trailerclasses historically perform poorer than regular classes. In the previous Spring semester (2019),the content was presented without the MBE method to a 7 person trailer class. Only 2 studentscould solve the problem correctly.

The need for increasing the number of STEM graduates [2, 3, 4, 5, 6,Preprint submitted to ASEE April 24, 20207] has resulted in various programs to attract and retain students in STEM fields.
