Given this environment, an approach tailored to engineering communication isneeded to meet the unique requirements for engineers in industry.The purpose of this paper is twofold. 1) examine various forms of communication engineersmust possess and their importance, and 2) describe the design, implementation, and assessmentof a new senior-year and first year graduate ECE course which is specifically aimed atdeveloping the critical communication skills for engineers in industry. For the first part we useda survey of managers and executives at Intel Corporation to determine the most important

Association (SEIA), the cumulative solar PV installationsin the United States increased from just 2.5 GW in 2010 to over 100 GW in 2020, representing anannual growth rate of over 40% [1]. Such massive growth has been driven by a combination offactors, such as declining module costs, supportive policies, and increasing awareness and demandfor renewable energy. The sharp growth of the PV industry is expected to continue in the comingyears, with the SEIA projecting that the U.S. will surpass more than 300 GW of installed solarcapacity by 2030, which is three times more than the capacity in 2020 [2]. This growth will bedriven by mass deployment of utility-scale and distributed solar installations, as well as due to theincreasing adoption of energy

The problems were faced by thefaculty who had no prior experience in teaching the hybrid and online classes and had onlytaught traditional face-to-face (F2F) courses, as well as the faculty who had prior experienceteaching online courses. At the same time, challenges were also faced by the students in learningthe material effectively due to the loss of motivation for various reasons. This posed a massiveproblem for the universities and faculty, inspiring the present study which had earlier designedan effective course structure for hybrid courses in AY 2020-21 [1].

Engineering and science students need to develop a range of competencies beyondsimply technical skills to address the complexity of societal challenges often referred to as“wicked” problems. Recognizing that students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields require complementary skills such as communication, collaboration,and creativity to engage meaningfully with stakeholders and address a challenge within a givencontext is the first step; learning how to effectively teach these skills (i.e., competency-basededucation) is a wicked problem in and of itself [1], [2].In addition to effectively

The team can comprise students from a single majoror multi-disciplinary (e.g., multiple majors). The project can span one or two semesters; in someexceptions, new teams are tasked with further project phases for the following years [1].

engineering programs and professionals in theengineering workforce do not accurately represent the general population. For example, despitemaking up 50 percent of the population, women represented only 24 percent of engineeringbachelor’s degrees conferred in 2021 [1]. Furthermore, although 12.1 percent of the USpopulation is Black only 4.7 percent of engineering bachelor’s degrees conferred were to Blackstudents. Research suggests that earlier exposure in K-12 programs to STEM active learningexperiences encourages greater participation in STEM amongst women and UnderrepresentedMinority (URM) students [2], [3]. As such, it is vital that K-12 districts introduce students to andinterest students in STEM fields and careers. An effective strategy

Many students pursue undergraduate and graduate degree programs to enhance their jobprospects [1]. For many, this is the primary driver influencing their decision to continue theirstudies after high school [1]. In the United States, higher education is increasingly expensive [2].To justify the expense, many students likely increasingly want assurance that their professionalsuccess will be enriched, financially and in other ways. Despite professional success being a primary driver of students attending highereducation, engineering courses often still focus on theory [3]–[5]. Students complete homeworkand maybe in-class problems. There is likely an assumption (often implicit, in my experience)that these problems are relevant to the

Furthermore, recent work on engineering and technology students'perceptions of using new technology suggests an over-focus on technical aspects within thoseprograms, to the detriment of social implications [2].Considering the societal impact of the built environment on the population, this lag seemsunjustified and concerning. Furthermore, history has several examples that indicate the effect ofpoorly functioning construction and infrastructure on the deployment of unsatisfactory servicelevels, high operation and maintenance costs, and unjustified
