and the sender are key components to consider when addressing conflictand challenging behaviours. Using an assertive communication approach when dealing withdifficult behaviours can ensure that the message, the receiver and the sender are addressed in aconstructive dialogue. For example, Hess utilized the D.E.S.C. model to develop leadership skillsthrough active student practice [13]. This model encourages the sender of a message to begin bydescribing the behaviour using facts and details while remaining calm and supportive in tone andbody language. Next, the sender expresses the impact the behaviour has had on the team or on anindividual using “I” statements and by encouraging acknowledgement and/or clarification fromthe receiver. Then, the

Promote Multidisciplinary Skills in a Freshman Engineering ProgramIntroduction This paper addresses the lack of student interest in topics outside of their discipline; thisis even true for some students in all courses regardless of topic. However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important. ABET goes as far as to list “an abilityto function on multidisciplinary teams” as a required student outcome for an undergraduateengineering program to be accredited. Engineering curriculums are somewhat designed toaddress

Patents and scientific papers on nanotechnology topicsquadrupled in the last decade, and this growth has accelerated in the past couple of years4. All ofthese trends point to a need to train nanoscience researchers and scientists to continue the growthin this field and meet the nanotechnology vision for 2020 set forth by NSF3.Along with continuous advances in nanoscience and technology, educators have developeddifferent courses and programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels to attract the best andbrightest students to the field and help creation of a new work-force.

By 1982, over 175 educators acrossthe country came together to discuss first-year seminars, and the following year the AnnualConference on the Freshman Year Experience was born. Today, an effective first-yearexperience has been identified as a high impact educational practice by the Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Although these experiences differ significantlyfrom university to university, ranging anywhere from a single course specifically taken in themajor itself, through more involved practices including live-learn communities, Kuh emphasizesthe most influential points of a first-year experience include a “strong emphasis on criticalinquiry, frequent writing, information literacy

enrollment in many majors.NEET is based on the following four principles: 1. Our education should focus on preparing our students to develop the new machines and systems that they will build in the middle of the 21st century. 2. We should help our students prepare themselves to be makers, discoverers or positioned along this spectrum, and we should teach engineering fundamentals as a foundation for careers in both research and practice. 3. We should build our education around the way our students learn best, engaging them in their learning, and implementing pilots to understand the desirable balance of classroom, project, and digital education for the digital natives. 4.

Experience of changing theculture in courses and undergraduate research is touched upon, and some metrics are presented togauge the fact that the approach is effective.In conclusion, the list provided at the beginning of the paper is repeated:a. Graduates must know and be able to use what they are supposed to have learned. The idea that the bachelor’s degree is just intended to provide a flavor and trigger interest in engineering, with actual competence coming through lifelong learning, runs into serious trouble in an environment where global corporations can recruit smart, competent graduates from all over the world who can start making an impact immediately.b.

At its core, the Comm Lab is a STEM-specific writing center wherestudents can meet face-to-face with a peer knowledgeable in their discipline to get feedback onSTEM writing and communication genres. On the organizational level, however, the Comm Labis distinguished by its emphasis on adaptation of structure and services to the desired institutionalcontext. Thus, our research asks which features of the Comm Lab can or should be adapted innew institutional contexts and which features must be retained across contexts to make iteffective.
