to functionglobally. This is especially true for engineers. Working individually or in small groups within acorporation is not how engineering is conducted in the 21st century. From design, to prototypingto production requires many of today’s engineers to work across the continent or around theglobe. “Cultural diversity is a fact of professional life. Engineers are being employed in ever greater numbers by multinational and transnational corporations and are routinely working across national and cultural boundaries. Engineering projects may take them, for varying periods of time, out into the field--which might be any corner of the globe--or into design workshops, laboratories or head offices which may also be

ExternshipsAbstract Summer immersive experiences provide students the opportunity to explore the limits of theirengineering education and develop a depth in a field of study. For institutions that centrallymanage these experiences, ranging from experiments conducted at other academic locations toresearch and development with industry partners, to procurement and development withgovernment laboratories and program offices, it can be difficult to ensure that all participants arereceiving quality experiences. A survey had previously been administered to capture the value ofstudent’s summer immersive experience based on ABET Student Outcomes. Much of the dataproved inconclusive due to the structure of the questions. However the data was used as abaseline for

making written communication skills part of the grading process in several laboratories. This was implemented and the results were tracked via the employer evaluations of the outcome over time. The result is shown in Figure 1. The figure shows that the employer evaluations of the student preparedness in written communications increased for several years and then leveled off. As a result, it was determined that more could be done by adding more opportunities for evaluation and feedback on student written work. Toward that end, writing was integrated into the mechanical design

“catch up” to the competition. Investing in the future has always been a challenge we have faced and conquered in the United States as we continuously move forward with innovative ways to teach math and science such that young students will embrace the excitement of laboratory and other hand-on teaching methods in math and science; leading to their interest and pursuit of engineering as a career in the future. This paper will not discuss STEM Education or the many efforts being invested in to grow our engineers and scientist base of the future; rather it will present a solution to how one company manages to provide a cohesive and inclusive “development programs” structure including opportunities available during the engineering student’s

Whenconfronted with the views of other disciplines on the field of engineering in his reflectionpaper, he was “taken aback by the picture they seemed to be painting of engineers anddesigners throughout the paper. An uneducated reader would imagine the engineer as ahermit locked inside a laboratory, receiving “problems” in the form of papers slid under Page 26.1724.6his door, and zealously working out solutions by distilling the information in theproblems into a set of constraints to be followed like a mathematical formula.” Hefurther evaluates the importance of “ the working with approach” as he articulates therole of

These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management.  Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need to prioritize the scheduled activities, introduce changes if need be, solicit advice and

The purpose of this research study was to examine whether a critical thinkingintervention would increase students’ critical thinking skills. This study was conducted over athree-year period as a mixed methods, quasi–experimental design examining STEM students’critical thinking skills at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU).
