Enrolled students aretypically in their first or second year and often select this class to explore engineering as theirmajor. Students learn engineering design and manufacturing techniques, utilizing their learningto solve ill-defined problems on teams. Projects require both conceptual design and tangible,mechanical solutions for an external client. In addition to engineering design, students learnteamwork through activities centered in giving and receiving feedback, resolving conflict, andleadership. Teams create contracts, meeting agendas, and project management documents as theywork

In the field ofeducation, it has been applied to the analysis of student essays to provide feedback, teamworkreview analysis, and students’ feedback loop [1], [3], [9]. Another application is in the generationof natural language text (e.g., machine translation systems use NLP to translate text from onelanguage to another) [10].

The most popular was six months in industry followed by six months in collegein each of four successive years [4].A requirement of the NCTA was that all students for their diplomas should have participatedin programs of liberal study. This was reinforced in 1957 by a government edict that extendedthe idea of compulsory liberal studies to all levels of technical education even though muchof it was part time study [5]. By 1962 it was seen that the development of literacy, that is theability to read and write, was essential for the general education of all students. Thus, it wasthat in those colleges the term Liberal Studies came to be substituted by General

To make sure that we were not going far afield, we took the time to research otherprograms. Because EE is a very large field, we started with a list of 93 programs at similar uni-versities and then eventually narrowed that list to a set of six programs that we considered to beaspirational peers.

Infact, she also enjoyed writing – so much so that she actually dual majored in Technical Writing.She tells me that the reason she didn’t pursue writing as a career is because she couldn’t see anyviable career options, whereas in engineering, there were plenty of job opportunities. WhereasTeresa felt the need to resolve her competing interests in the elevator pitch itself, Christine omitsthem entirely, perhaps feeling that her writing interests confuse the narrative too much or areirrelevant because they are not practical.One factor Teresa omitted was an admission later
