Therefore, the learning benefits to students are also very similar. The fourth category represents national and multi-national project-based learning activities suchas the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) at Purdue University (Coyle et al., 2005;Ruth et al., 2019), the Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC), and the

The first cohort of nine Global EngineeringPerspectives Scholars graduated in 2019, including students from five degree programs withcompetencies spanning five different languages.Motivation for the programGlobalization is driving the need for engineers to work effectively in international environments,and navigate differences across cultures [1]. Studies on intercultural competencies for engineeringstudents typically describe the benefit of such competencies as allowing them to work with peoplefrom different cultures in an increasingly globalized world.

again starting with the 2018-2019 freshman cohort. EGR-1200 would remain the same but EGR-1205 would be replaced with a course that eachdepartment would offer their students. The goal was to keep the class hands on and entertaining,but also add major-specific technical work. While departments are free to now introduce topicswhich could be required for later classes, it was hoped that the courses could still be generalenough to allow for students to transfer to other departments after freshman year. The ECEdepartment created their course, ECE-1205 which would introduce the students to Matlab as hadbeen done previously in the 7 week section of the old EGR 1205, but also introduce a new designarea specifically geared for ECE students, in which

President, Dr. Stephanie Adams,highlighted this issue, making graduate education a key initiative for ASEE in 2019 [5].Published studies of students in engineering doctoral programs in relation to professionaldevelopment tend to focus on the research experiences [6, 7] with an emphasis on theknowledge, skills, and abilities gained or on how students’ research skills change over time [8].However, the important question of how effectively the research experiences of engineeringPh.D. students prepare them for professional practice remains largely unanswered. In order tostrengthen the quality of research on engineering Ph.D. students are being prepared forprofessional practice, there is a need for high-quality assessments designed and
studies have identified communication as one of the mostimportant transferrable employment skills – one that often influences job performance and careeradvancement (Grant and Dickson 2006; Leydens et al. 2008; Poe et al. 2010; Lopes et al. 2015;Bercich et al. 2018; Young and Ashman 2019). Despite the importance of communication skills,several studies have identified communication-related shortcomings in recent graduates, such asconvoluted writing, imprecise or inaccurate content, and an inability to meaningfully 1communicate technical conclusions (Paretti 2006; Craig et al. 2008; Mohan 2009; Conrad 2017;Fletcher et al. 2017).While most engineering curricula include some technical communication

Our survey findings may support the idea that for the curriculum to beeffective students must have more practical experience, social interaction, and exposure to theengineering practice.
