The current emphasis in engineering and engineering technology programsis placed on highly formatted technical and scientific laboratory reports.1 The problem with thistype of technical writing in the discipline is that it doesn't really prepare students to communicate1 It is interesting to note that students have had a difficult time writing the conclusions in their laboratory reports.

In its current form, it consistsof two “tandem” courses, EBME 313 (fall) and EBME 314 (spring), in the junior year, andincludes a number of educational components. These two courses are part of the BiomedicalEngineering Core, and traditionally are among students’ most favorite courses. 1. The course offers unique opportunities for the students to acquire hands-on experience in “real” research in a variety of biomedical engineering areas. Students perform experiments using the equipment and employing techniques that researchers use in their studies. 2. Students are

Thispaper focuses on understanding the impacts of introducing such a course into the curriculum.The course covers the three main pillars of Electrical Engineering: Electromagnetic fields andwaves, Circuit theory and linear systems, and semiconductors and micro/nano-technology. Agoal of this approach is to expose students to foundational concepts in critical ECE areasincluding wireless communications, micro/nano-technology, computer chips, biotechnology,robotics, power, signal processing, and photonics earlier in the ECE curriculum. The curriculuminnovation captures the primary focus of assisting students in understanding and realizing thebroader scope of ECE.

These requirements focus onengineers as practicing professionals working primarily in design and development rather thanresearch. Undergraduate engineering curricula rarely cover topics typical of responsible conductof research (RCR) such as paper authorship, peer review, and research funding management andrather focus on issues such as employer-client-employee relations, human health, safety andwelfare in design, and intellectual property. Conversely, most responsible conduct of researchcourses and materials have been developed around the biomedical and clinical health

In so doing, we discovered that two ofthe items (7 and 10) detracted from the overall reliability of the scale, and so removed them fromthe calculation of the composite CC score. The resulting alpha reliability coefficient is .75 (forthe Grainger students) which represents an acceptable level internal consistency.The 12 Items 1.
