Also, at a 2009 symposium ofengineering graduate students at a large mid-Atlantic research university, a representativesampling of presentations averaged more than 40 words per minute. In addition, the paper calculates this metric for representative presentations thatfollow alternative slide structures. For instance, in a large set of assertion–evidencepresentations created by international science and engineering Ph.D. students for whomEnglish is a second language, the projected words per minute were less than 20. Thatnumber contrasts dramatically with the more than 40 projected words per minute fromU.S. graduate students.

Fall semester of 2001, students in all 36 sections of EF1015 were exposed to asequence of team collaborative active learning opportunities.A questionnaire to assess student perceptions of learning was given at mid-semester and at theend of the fall 2000 semester to eight hands-on (HO) sections and ten traditional (TR) sections.9A discussion of the end of semester results of the HO students versus the TR

To answer these questions, we surveyed graduate engineering studentsat a mid-sized Mid-Atlantic institution. The survey consists of three major sections: (1) thePerceived Stress Questionnaire (S. Levenstein, et al. J. Psychosom. Res., vol 37, no. 1, pp. 19-32,1993.), which is a validated instrument that assesses an individual's perceived stress level, (2) asection for respondents to identify and rank major sources of stress, and (3) a section forrespondents to identify and rank major coping strategies. The survey identified research, grades,and issues relating to mental health as major stressors for all groups, and people

atstake, engineering education should place more value and emphasis on the garnering ofprofessional communication skills within the discipline. This paper presents a detailed account of how one large mid-Atlantic university designeda targeted communication course, which focuses on meeting the communication demands placedon engineers. The course, currently taken by about 350 engineering students per semester (14sections with no more than 26 students per section), is the collaboration of the College ofEngineering and the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences. This partnership, referredto as integrated instruction, is defined as a collaboration between communication experts in theliberal arts and a college of engineering. By offering
