University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering. Robert was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He got his B.S. (2010), his M.S (2012). and his PhD (2014) from the University of Pittsburgh, all with a concen- tration in electric power systems. Robert’s academic focus is in education as it applies to engineering at the collegiate level. His areas of interest are in electric power systems, in particular, electric machinery and electromagnetics. Robert has worked as a mathematical modeler for Emerson Process Management, working on electric power applications for Emerson’s Ovation Embedded Simulator. Robert also served in the United States Navy as an interior communications electrician from 1998-2002 on active duty and
-Management & Leadership, Civic Responsibility, and Professionalism & Ethics.The main focus of ENGR 100 is to introduce students to the importance of learning and usinginterpersonal skills, with Communication being one of the main ones. It is considered anAchievement-Centered Education (ACE) 2 course [37], which means that students will be able to“demonstrate a competence in communication skills.” While communication is the main CEIcompetency taught in ENGR 100, the others are each addressed as well, making ENGR 100 anideal starting point for all engineering students.ENGR 100 is also one of the courses required for the Engineering Leadership Minor. Thisprogram of study was developed to aid COE students in developing the skills industries

One respondent said, "The survey questions cloud the difference between knowledge(something I know) and skills (something I'm able to do)" and another wrote, "Safety is alwaysthe starting point, especially since clean/renewable energy project work can expose employees toboth DC and AC electrical hazards, requiring an understanding of AC/DC machines, ACgenerating system operation, and power electronics." A manufacturer wrote "1. Ability to readengineering drawings (blueprints), 2. Basic computer skills (Xcel, Word, Bluebeam or Adobe),and 3. Ability to understand and apply specifications related to the work scope." Note that thissection dealt with desired skills
