The surveys consisted of 5-choice Likert questions that were designed to obtain studentfeedback on their current knowledge of POCT, confidence in their ability to develop POCTdevices, level of interest in pursuing further studies/training/careers in the area of POCT, and thesuitability of POCT devices for solving problems in medicine and biology.

this reason, some faculty members use thisforum by asking questions to confirm the general truth for students so that students will be betterprepared for their future jobs. In addition, faculty members benefit from board members’answers in some areas that faculty members do not have expertise in, which helps facultymembers to better guide students in some specific areas of engineering.Experienced professionals are often interested in giving back to their professions and serving onan advisory board is one such way. These open forums are particularly satisfying for boardmembers who have the opportunity to give seasoned advice to those who will be entering theprofession in the near future.

Communication for Chemical EngineersAbstractGood communication skills are vital for any career. Engineers are often stigmatized as beingpoor communicators, and while this is merely a stereotype, many engineers and STEM studentsdo express disinterest in writing and other forms of communication. While communication isincorporated in many undergraduate chemical engineering courses through laboratory reports,presentations, and informal short answer questions, these items are generally evaluated for theirtechnical accuracy, not on aspects of their delivery and presentation. In the chemical engineeringdepartment of a large Midwestern university, students are required to take two courses in writingand communication. The

Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program. These tensions are described in terms of: i) The prioritization of nationaleconomic recovery and growth over the life and career goals of individuals; ii) A predominantfocus on the quantitative and technical aspects of
