isbecause students already know how to use IM and do not feel they need to be instructed on itsuse, but the students rated email and the phone as extremely important. This indicates that thestudents do not see how IM would be beneficial to group work or how it may benefit them intheir careers. Examples of IM use in industry may demonstrate to the students that IM is indeed askill they will need to master to become World-Class Engineers.Although the students do not believe IM may be an important method of group communication,they do feel it is just as efficient as email and the phone. These findings may indicate thatstudents feel they can use IM to get work done in a timely manner through all these methods, orthat email and the phone have their

A formerstudent, working in industry, emailed to describe the effects of processes and tools on his career: “Even though I (we) complained during our software engineering class about the tedious paper work that was required for our projects, it was by far one of the most accurate representations of a ‘real world’ work environment. The processes that we underwent in your class to develop a project (especially scoping it out) have given me a leg up on my peers. I have come to understand that the (good) developers spend roughly 65
