In fact, technical communication training has been shown tohave a positive impact on a graduate’s ability to adjust to jobs and achieve career goals [12]. Atechnical communication elective has long been a requirement at top universities, but only afraction require instruction that is integrated within the engineering context [13, 14]. Success hasbeen shown when offering integrated experiences using appropriate tools, and in a diversecontext [15], but inclusion of this type of curriculum is not as common as

We purposefully selected twofoundational second-year year EM courses (i.e., Engineering Statics and Ordinary DifferentialEquations) as the context for this study in order to deepen the knowledge base in this less studiedyear of undergraduate engineering education.2.2.Research QuestionsTwo research questions were constructed to guide this study: (1) How are undergraduate studentself-regulation of cognition (SRC

Kahn (1990) later conceptualized psychological safety as an individual’s comfort level to show and employ themselves without fear of negative consequences to self-image, status, or career. Edmonson (1999), however, argued that psychological safety is best viewed as an attribute of team climate. Edmonson defines psychological safety as “a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or

In addition to non-technical skills, like project

Under their IBL professor's support, undergraduate students can present their work atconferences when they would otherwise never be afforded the opportunity. IBL students canparticipate in applied research at a level usually reserved for graduate students. By beingafforded the ability to take on large projects with complex problems, undergraduates under theIBL structure develop professional skills and have access to experiences well ahead of thoseentering the workforce through traditional educational models.

This introductory course aims to deliver an overview of the engineering profession andmethodology of engineering design. This course invited professional industry engineers withpractical engineering projects to let students obtain qualitative skillsets and mindsets for theirfuture engineering careers. Also, social/economic impact of engineering designs and engineeringethics with several case studies were also discussed. In the second half of the semester, theengineering design process was practiced through the two engineering projects. All the studentsparticipated in the projects with a

Communicating with people from different cultures and languages is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many aspects of their lives. Learning how to appreciate and understand different cultures can help avoid misunderstandings and create more meaningful relationships. 2. This can also be applied to learning about different organizational cultures they may find themselves in during their careers. 3. Employability skills are also important for students to develop.

Thisis important as finding a way to identify at-risk students at the beginning of the semester, such thatthey can be pointed towards resources that will improve their chances of academic success beforethey begin to encounter issues and other academic setbacks will ultimately lead to more successfulengineering students, graduates, and productive careers. We therefore succeed in finding attributesthat identify which students need more attention from professors and academic advisors.References [1] K. L. Lewis, J. G. Stout, N. D. Finkelstein, S. J.
