Infact, except in the context of international engineering students22, the discussion and assessmentof communication competency has traditionally focused on skills of oral and writtenpresentations and reports and primarily within the engineering community context. A morerecent report discusses a disparity between younger more novice engineering students andexperienced professional engineers and who seem to share a wider understanding ofcommunication competence.23 Insufficient discussion or research has

The paceof instruction is customized: any English-as-a-foreign-language students may wish to replay thevideo for better linguistic understanding, or in order to repeat a mathematical concept;conversely, students who have already mastered the content may wish to move ahead faster thantraditional lecture would allow. Students may refer back to the video at any time during thesemester for reinforcement and connection making. Multiple representations of each concept canbe presented in the video using graphing technology.

Reconfiguration Project, The Trinity Acres Youth Camp Master Plan,and A Water expansion project in Kuna Nega, Panama. The first two projects were made upprojects, the hotel was basically the cost estimate of a possible hotel, and the Bigelow Boulevardproject was the redesign of a road that cuts through our campus. The last two were real projectswith actual clients. Trinity Acres was a non-profit organization that was looking for a conceptanalysis to use as a starting point to expand a site for a youth camp, and the Kuna Nega projectwas a water system expansion project outside Panama City, Panama. In each projects thestudents had to collect data for their actual site and thus had to contact outside people for help.However, the two projects with clients
experiment, perform it, and then analyze and report the results. All of the desired behaviors are explicitly requested in the project requirements. A total of 37 reports were examined for evidence of the desired behaviors, results of which are shown in Table 5. Only one moderately strong correlation was seen – for the behavior ‘estimate uncertainties in results’. Estimating uncertainties is a concept that students historically find difficult in this course, and it makes sense that students who can master the most difficult concepts will perform at a higher level and earn higher grades. However, other than this one behavior, all of the correlations were weakly positive for the individual behaviors, although there was a strong positive
