Senior management titles included president/ownerand vice president. Job titles in the Technician category were engineering technician (civil),nuclear reactor operator (mechanical) and voice repair technician (telecommunications).Technical Services was not a category for the 1997 survey but included the job title of consultantfor the 2009 survey.

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

This alarmingproblem has been identified as a contributing factor in numerous chemical process incidents,such as the Texaco Pembroke Refinery in the UK and others on the Gulf Coast.Alarm issues are caused when newly minted chemical engineering graduates become processengineers and are asked to suggest alarm settings for their projects without having anunderstanding of alarm management principles. Therefore we have developed this AlarmDocumentation and Rationalization (D&R) Module to introduce alarm management concepts toundergraduate students.In this paper we describe our experience exposing undergraduate students

Paths to Learning: Understanding how students utilize online instructional resources in an introductory engineering graphics courseABSTRACT This presentation focuses on an ongoing instructional innovation research and development project centered around an introductory engineering graphics course. Over the past few years, the researchers have looked at ways that pedagogical innovations could be used to both improve instruction and do so more efficiently with fewer resources. These goals has led to the creation of pilot sections of the course that are “hybrid”—meeting one day and week and then having students use an online learning management system (i.e., Moodle) for

In addition, student outcomesand competencies should be used for articulation instead of courses.

engineering education identifiesseveral concepts key to engineering as a general discipline, particularly to engineering design asa problem-solving process: systems, modeling, and optimization2. That all three of these aremore techniques and heuristics than knowledge-based content areas points towards our framingof engineering as an integrated discipline – that is, intertwining science and math contentknowledge with design and problem-solving strategies. Classroom instruction that captures thisperspective frequently takes the form of Design Challenges, which bring together science andmathematics content with engineering and design principles under the umbrella of extended,design-focused projects.
