Participants were asked about their team training experiences and how they use teams intheir classroom. Findings show that more than two thirds (68.29%) of respondents haveparticipated in a workshop on effective teaming or teaming techniques. Among all therespondents, 80.49% use teams for design projects suggesting that they consider this an essentialtraining activity in preparing students for the work place.

Usually, class time is split between instructor-led teaching of concepts, in-class individual and small group exercises, and a semester-long team design project.To increase connections to the needs of a customer and to focus creativity and design choices oncreating value-added products, open-ended in-class activities are conducted throughout thesemester.

Critical thinking can be incorporatedinto engineering classes in a variety of ways including writing assignments, active learningstrategies, project-based design experiences, and course redesign. Clearly, accurately, andconsistently assessing critical thinking across engineering courses can be challenging.The J.B. Speed School of Engineering began revising core courses in the undergraduatecurriculum to align with goals and objectives of i2a and the ABET criteria.

Indeed, as Trevelyan pointed out in his studyof communication practices of engineers in Australia, “assessment of communication inengineering education is misaligned with practice requirements”5. To better align educationalassessment of communication practices in the first place, educators need to know more abouthow this skill set is defined and practiced in engineering workplaces. This paper intends to helpshed light on that question through reporting on the ways that practicing engineers valued,defined, and practiced “communication skills”.Study Description and MethodsThis study is part of a larger project sponsored by the National Science Foundation whichexamines the alignment of
