.20Many engineering courses require students to compose documents (such as laboratory reports,activity reports, and project reports) and to verbally present project findings or laboratoryresults. However, Walvoord expresses that engineering faculty, although they know that writingis important are often reluctant to “teach” writing to their students. The faculty worry that theirknowledge of technical writing and verbal communication and their ability to constructivelyrespond to student work is limited and their ability to constructively provide feedback to thestudents is inadequate. 19 In addition, many schools and programs do not recognize thedifference between what is being taught in introductory composition courses and industry’sneeds.

This program successfullyaddresses such academic challenges in engineering education as the inherent verticalstructure of scientific curricula, courses with laboratory requirements, ABETaccreditation, and accelerated summer course calendars. Engineering disciplinesincluded are civil engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering,chemical engineering, statistics, and construction management. Also featured in thisprogram is a unique curricular collaboration between the humanities and engineering.The paper also discusses the program’s treatment of such logistical issues as studentsafety, moving large groups of students through a cultural landscape where Russianlanguage proficiency is a necessity, as well

There was a requirement for includingresults from a simulation program, but this was more often relegated to the status of afootnote in project reports. When the number of sections increased in 1997 with theopening of a new laboratory (the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory) there wasconsiderable pressure on space and facilities. This laboratory included two classroomsspecifically designed and reserved for the first year engineering projects course.

Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].

This course has a laboratory that requiresvarying preparation time depending on the experiment being conducted, the condition of theequipment and the difficulty of the theories and procedures involved. Another course tends tohave topics or themes that continue over several weeks requiring preparation for several classperiods at one time.

(1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt,” are assigned to teachpractice-related courses.
