students to model only the middle portion of their design. This results in whatMAESTRO terms a cut model, and it provides for weights and end moments to be added. Thisapproach makes it possible for the students to create and evaluate a structural model withreasonable effort. This approach also facilitates student comparison of manually computed mid-ship section stresses with the MAESTRO computed stresses. An example of a student cut modelis shown in figure 7. Figure 7.

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

of this concept in a HolisticEngineering Project Course (HEPC) that was designed as a part of a National ScienceFoundation (NSF) grant (Award Number: 1927232) and was implemented at West VirginiaUniversity (WVU). WVU HEPC is developed in such a way that engineering students work withsocial science students on a complex and open-ended engineering grand challenge problem.The organization of this paper is as follows. Section 2 discusses the concept of the holisticengineering approach and its key principles. Section 3 presents the structure of the HEPC courseand Section 4 presents the implementation of the course in the spring 2020 semester. Finally,Section 5 concludes with key lessons learned and an overview of future teaching and

Students, typically, have difficulty with the following: (1)understanding the parts of a technical report; (2) defining and avoiding plagiarism; (3) evaluatingtheir online sources; and (4) finding appropriate sources from which to perform a literaturesearch for background information on their assigned topic.To address these issues, engineering faculty collaborated with campus librarians14,15 to: (1
