In fact, in an ASME survey where 647 industry supervisors, 42 department heads, and 590early-career engineers responded to a question on mechanical engineering graduates strengthsand weaknesses, there was a discrepancy in how industry rated communication skills compare tothe other two groups [1].

One such goal is the desire to enhance the employability of our engineering students byproviding them with more and earlier opportunities to acquire and demonstrate technical knowledge andskills, which have been shown to be very important to engineering employers [1] Second, this initiativesought

Those soft skills include at a minimumcommunication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills. Several studies have recommendedrevisions to existing engineering and technical curriculums to incorporate soft skills [1-3]. Inaddition to industry professionals indicating a desire for increased soft skills in graduates,students also see the need for additional exposure while in school [4]. Because there is no formaldefinition of soft skills, it is necessary to determine for each

, gaining significant traction in the K-12 system is standards-based grading. With standards-based grading, grading is based upon “measuring students’proficiency on well-defined course objectives.” [1] Instead of arbitrary grading scales, studentsare assessed multiple times regarding their performance on course outcomes. By doing this,there is an increase in student engagement and a more thorough comprehension of coursematerials. [2] Standards Based grading focuses on the specific, relevant skills a student shouldlearn and helps instructors to assess how well students are learning and tailor their teaching tomeet areas of concern. [3] By measuring these goals, students continue to learn. By usingrubrics to articulate these goals, students can use

Second, not only do the types of audiences varymore in engineering but so do the audiences’ levels of knowledge about the content. Yet a thirddifference is that the expected level of precision in engineering writing is higher than theexpected precision in general writing [2, 3]. Still a fourth difference is the complexity ofengineering formats, which have to account for incorporation of illustrations, equations, sections,and appendices. Until students learn the principles of engineering writing, a significant gap exists betweenwhat those students have experienced in general writing courses and what those students areexpected to produce in reports for design courses
