In addition, engineers must cater tothree types of readers when preparing their technical documents: those who only read the text,visual readers who only look at graphs, figures and tables and the rest who read the text and thevisuals [5]. Engineering programs planning for ABET accreditation visits need to identify how to     incorporate technical writing into their curriculum and develop a plan to assess the “ability tocommunicate effectively with a range of audience”.

Promote Multidisciplinary Skills in a Freshman Engineering ProgramIntroduction This paper addresses the lack of student interest in topics outside of their discipline; thisis even true for some students in all courses regardless of topic. However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important. ABET goes as far as to list “an abilityto function on multidisciplinary teams” as a required student outcome for an undergraduateengineering program to be accredited. Engineering curriculums are somewhat designed toaddress

Whileperceptions tend to be positive, the change in learning levels varies from no effect toimprovement. In this regard, it is essential to consider the impact of various factors, includingstudent education levels (secondary, undergraduate, postgraduate), the number of studentsinvolved (a small group or a large course), and the design and appropriateness of the material(s),among others. Consequently, the results largely depend on the particularities of each situation.MethodologyThe methodology applied

Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the

Mechanical engineering graduates have the opportunity to join any number ofindustries, and are indeed highly sought-after for their problem solving skills and technicalbreadth. Yet, mechanical engineering students are generally not provided with guidance onmatching their interests with one of the multitude of jobs or non-traditional career paths availableto them.Students are also lacking direction on skills so
