. Poetry writing for those interested individuals has provided an avenue forcommunication.When an earlier paper began with the following quotation, “Variety's the spice of life, that givesit its flavor,” it echoed a feeling that stifling the creativity of any group of individuals is notproductive. Allowing these individuals to range across various types of communication is notonly good for engineers expressing themselves but for the production they produce in theirengineering activities. These lines in "The Task, I" by William Cowper (English poet 1731-1800) still reflect an attitude over two hundred later that must he fostered in the minds ofengineers. No man is an island, and no field of study can divorce itself from the activities,interests

Perhaps most notably, since the shift to anoutcomes-based accreditation criteria, ABET promoted the development of related skills andhabits of mind. Criterion 3.d requires that all undergraduate engineers have the ability to workon multidisciplinary teams, and Criterion 3.h indicates that those same graduates mustunderstand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context1.These same contexts are acknowledged in the National Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of2020 report2 which contends that developing solutions that account for this enlarged problemspace requires engineers to access, understand, evaluate, synthesize, and apply information

Small groups of students spent 10 minutes at each station before rotating tothe next station. The ambassador provided a 3-5 minute informational conversation starter aboutthe topic and then the remaining time was used for questions and discussion with the students.SummaryIn summary, the goal of each of these events was to utilize the Engineering Ambassadors asrelatable role models to communicate the messages of Changing the Conversation to first yearstudents. These messages are important to keep fresh in the mind of new undergraduates as theydeal with the challenge of core math and

Engineering Education, 2012 Atlas Shrugged: Assessing Communication and Global Competence in a Technical Writing Course In Ayn Rand‘s dystopian novel Atlas Shrugged, two of the characters are at one pointdiscussing the legendary figure Atlas, who in mythology holds the world on his shoulders. Onecharacter asks the other what he would advise Atlas do with an increasingly heavy burden, andthat character indicates he would suggest Atlas shrug. The inference of course, is that shouldAtlas do so, the world would slide off his stalwart shoulders, sending every human being on itinto certain oblivion. It‘s a hyperbolic metaphor, but there are doubtless any number of collegeprofessors who feel a bit like Atlas these days
