In a 2010 NSFsponsored study on engineering practice and identity, engineers themselves noted the gap in theirfluency with certain skills such as communication and essential business concepts includingeconomic analysis, project management, and team leadership4.

Modified requirements are set forth for individuals with a master’s or doctorate’sdegree.Master of Project Management ProgramMotivated by the forgoing situation, the Master of Project Management (MPM) program grewfrom a conviction that there existed a need in the civil engineering profession for a more holisticengineer with an ability to blend a modest breadth of engineering expertise and experience withthe management and communication skills required to develop and execute a major engineeringproject from its conceptual stage through completion and even beyond into its operational andmaintenance phases. Although there existed at various universities throughout the country

ability to recognize, manage, and negotiate conflict [4], [5]. Asengineering students develop their technical expertise through undergraduate coursework andprofessional experience, it is also vitally important to engineering students’ professionalprospects and personal well-being to develop proficient conflict negotiation skills [5]. As a matter of fact, professional skills have been identified among the fundamentallyrequired skills by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) by the time theengineering students graduate with an engineering degree, as such skills are captured in at leasttwo out of the seven Student Outcomes under Criterion 3, identified for the 2019-2020, and2020-2021 accreditation cycles.

Page 23.890.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Measuring intercultural sensitivity: A case study of the REU program at UPRMAbstractThe National Academy of Engineering’s call to educate global engineers has sparked a numberof globalizing programs and coursework at different institutions. Nevertheless, there is a need toquantify the extent to which the ability of recent graduates to understand, appreciate, and acceptdifferences among cultures is being influenced by globalizing programs and coursework
