taught within the engineeringcurriculum, fewer have looked at communication requirements in industry, as reviewed by Donnellet al. [3]. Through this review, authors determined the key disconnects between what is taught andwhat is required in industry to be 1) goals of communication in the classroom vs. in industry and2) audience of communication assignments. To better address the communication needs ofgraduating engineering students, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) has modified the outcomes for engineering programs to include communication to a widerange of audiences [2]. As a result, engineering programs will need to diversify communicationassignments.Some universities have aimed to reconcile the disconnect between

Like the student above whonarrows down to one specific component of the field, another student reaches a more specificidea of what engineering could look like: Pre: “I see chemical engineers as the innovators of the future. They help to create new base substances that are then used to help other disciplines create even more different technology. I think that chemical engineering just seems to affect so many people.” Mid: “I see them as creating useful substances like new compounds that make products more efficient and less wasteful. I think it is a place where you are able to improve products thus improving society.” Post: “One major thing I think of when I think of

It isnecessary to find an alternative teaching strategy in engineering courses, particularly forconveying scientific principles to real situations. To assess innovative methods for solving theproblems and limitations of the traditional teaching model in chemical engineering andbiomedical engineering, a half interactive hands-on learning experiment, half lecture-teachingmodel is being explored. In this process, having the aim of a better understanding and absorptionof key principles and difficult concepts in fluid mechanics and neuronal membrane physiology,we are combining multimedia technology with whiteboard and hands-on tabletop units.A Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer course

today!Those who teach design face the dilemma of needing to teach “old fashioned” equipment designmethods so that students will understand the fundamentals and also attempt to teach moderncomputer aided design techniques, knowing that most design engineers, who work for largecorporations may never use these “old fashioned” design methods again in their working careersand will rely heavily on modern computer technology. However, this is an environment wheresmaller organizations are probably different.Should we abandon traditional design methods and just teach modern methods or should we tryand pack both into already overloaded courses? The authors propose that students must get anappreciation of both traditional and modern design methods in some
