An appropriate synergy between the two competencies is needed to produce engineersin the 21st Century. We propose further studies to learn effective integration of communicationacross the engineering curriculum that yields tangible NACE and ABET outcomes. In doing so,we would like to address whether it is
manufacturing landscape.As the demand for automation in assembly lines and manufacturing processes continues to rise,we recognize the importance of providing our students with relevant certifications [1, 2]. Our goalis to train and certify our faculty in the latest technologies, enabling them to guide students indeveloping integrated smart manufacturing systems that utilize industrial robots and PLCs fortasks like material handling, painting, assembly, and CNC machining. According to studies byDeloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, the skills gap in manufacturing may leave an estimated2.4 million positions unfilled over the next decade [3]. As the US manufacturing industry embracesIndustry 4.0 [4] and digital transformation, there is a growing

examining the use of the design-related practices in the curriculum, there is a distinctionbetween the practices that were used more or less frequently (and generally, weaker ratings interms of importance in the engineering curriculum). The practices used more frequently reflect amore traditional approach, such as design to reflect knowledge of a concept; the engagement ofmultiple criteria; and the general environmental and social impact. Practices used less frequentlyinclude design for an individual challenge, design to address a sociotechnical need, and conceptsof ethics and sustainability integrated within engineering design. These practices engage moresubjectivity; a socio-political bend that instructors in engineering may not be as

(Appendix). The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection

Based on these answers, some identified HC as the actions of individual actors (active) or asa byproduct of schooling institutions (passive). As for the deeper understanding of theparticipants’ emotional states surrounding HC, they were asked: Can you think about an exampleof hidden curriculum you experienced in engineering?
