andinformal methods to revise curricula that focuses on the professional formation of engineers(Downey, 2014). One area of competence where students might benefit substantially pertains totheir development of what administrators refer to as “professional” skills. This sentiment is alsoendorsed by a variety of corporate stakeholders across the engineering industry. For example,Dianne Chong, vice president of engineering, operations, and technology at the BoeingCompany, expressed that while “most schools are doing an excellent job producing the technicalskills that we need… employers want more than that” (Benderly, 2015). Therefore, our goal is tohelp students develop these additional skills desired by employers.In addition to the work already being

The second was to address howthey use the design process in their research. Faculty interactions occurred both through labtours and through classroom presentations.
