efforts and the successes and challenges encountered as we work toaddress business research needs in the engineering curriculum.Introduction and Literature ReviewThe teaching of business competencies to engineering students is exploding in engineeringeducation due to a variety of factors. First, there is a critical need to develop professional skills,including leadership, communication and teamwork, and capabilities for “real-world”engineering design and operations, along with learning the core math, science, and technicalaspects of engineering [1], [2]. Interviews and surveys of early-career engineers revealed notonly technical skills were needed but also skills for industry, like complex project managementand soft skills, that newcomers had to

Ifyou’re more comfortable chiming in via chat, go for it, nod your head, add thumbs up.Guiding Questions: 1. What is your program (major, minor concentration), and why did you choose it? [Round Robin] 2. What makes a good learning experience for you? 3. What are some strategies you use to balance coursework and life? 4. For those of you who've completed a capstone project and/or a research paper, can you talk a little bit about the preparation you received that was most helpful and what you wish you knew before you started

-world problem encounteredafter graduation enjoys no such context [7]. In addition, the difficulty of creating one’s decision-making schema naturally becomes greater as the number of possible tools or approachesincrease, or as the decisions otherwise become more complex.Having years of practical experience is not the only possible way to build a level of expertise thatincludes conditional knowledge. Swan, Plummer, and West [4] contend that intentional focus onbuilding conditional knowledge can help improve the level of expertise developed in a universityprogram. Problem-based learning, capstone projects, and other teaching methods 1 may all helpstrengthen student conditional knowledge [5], [6], to a greater or lesser extent.Another instructional

receiving his degree in fire protection engineering from the University of Maryland in 2009, he joined the Nonreactor Nuclear Division (NNFD) at ORNL as a fire protection system engineer and designer. In this role, he developed his skills as a system engineer overseeing the design, installation and modification of unique FP systems protecting special nuclear materials. To better his understanding of the additional hazards and specialized operations of NNFD, Mr. Landmesser earned a master’s degree in nuclear engineering. For the past five years, he has served as a design engineer and project manager for the Laboratory Modernization Division (LMD) supporting new construction and modernization of existing infrastructure.
