freshman tojunior year of our B.S. Bioengineering curriculum.Introduction to the Engineering ProfessionEGS1006L - Introduction to the Engineering Profession is a 1 credit hour freshman level coursethat is the gateway to all subsequent FGCU engineering courses. The course is designed tointroduce the engineering approach to problem solving and the engineering design process,utilizing team-based learning. This is accomplished through an over-arching semester-longresearch project focused on discipline-specific engineering innovations. “Mini projects” are usedin this class to encourage student discovery of new technologies or innovations within their fieldof study as a means of helping them select an appropriate topic for their research project
with challenges that are vastly different from the challenges facedby previous generations. These challenges include global competition, intelligent technology,and a constantly changing work environment. But the speed with which this civilizationcontinues to advance is fundamentally challenging the way in which engineering is practiced andthe way in which engineering and engineering technology students are educated. Technologicalbreakthroughs—the Internet and apple products most prominent among them—have effected anincreasingly global “workplace” in which the collaborative efforts of multinational teams areunhampered by geographical distance or time zones, and this global workplace in turn isintroducing new imperatives not only to engineering

existence of a graduate mentor in capstonecourses is another component that can improve leadership skills. The graduate mentor can help thestudents advance their professional skills (e.g., oral presentation). Moreover, the literaturedemonstrates that leadership competencies can be embedded into the existing engineeringcurriculum (e.g., systems engineering and engineering risk and uncertainty) without adding newcourses to the curriculum. Additionally, the literature states that communication skills are essentialfor effective leadership development for construction students.Utilizing new technology (e.g., GoogleDrive and Dropbox), along with using other technologiesfor communication, such as texting and calling, can help the students to better
