results the Rover project provides for members who participate.After the project is completed, graduate students receive a survey of 15 questions, three of whichare listed in Table 1. From the survey, 100% of members said that the Rover Project helped themlearn the technical skills required to be successful in the industry. All of the students who haveworked on the Rover project said they would recommend this program to other students. Inaddition to what is listed in the table, out of the members who participate in the Rover project,95% receive highly desired jobs upon graduation both at the national and international level.ConclusionAlthough the Rover program requires a substantial amount time and effort on top of the routinelecture courses, the

balance an understanding ofboth the technical context with consideration for the social, contextual, and cultural influence onengineering, especially since different countries have different approaches to problem-solving,collaboration, and communication [2]. One way of integrating global competency learning intothe engineering curriculum is through study abroad programs [3]. These programs range induration such as two-week or summer-long time frames and focus on context, country, andlanguage-learning components. However, one of the main barriers for these programs isaccessibility and the lack of flexibility in engineering curricula. Hence, some programs offershort international experiences during the summer to allow students to participate

the differences are in how these elements wereemployed in the context of engineering labs. It is obvious that engineering undergraduatesstruggle when they apply their prior writing knowledge and skills learned in humanities orsciences to engineering, which is a distinct discipline.This study focuses on engineering undergraduates who struggle in lab report writing for theirentry-level engineering laboratory courses, primarily offered in the 2nd year of the four-yearplans. The 2nd year or sophomore engineering lab courses can be the students’ first experiencewriting a discipline-specific genre for a technical audience. This study aims to investigate theareas of improvement and difficulties with lab report writing in lower-division

The survey was distributed across the engineering field to students,academics, industry employees, and government employees through multiple professionalorganizations and societies. Two hundred and one individuals participated in the survey. Theresults show that the engineering field agrees that (1) technical standards should be taught in theundergraduate engineering curriculum, (2) professors teaching undergraduate engineeringcourses have an acceptable knowledge of technical standards, and (3) four-year academicengineering programs do not put sufficient

Figure 1: Requirements of a twenty-first-century engineer [4].Despite the significance of writing and communication in the engineering field, researchindicates a gap between communication instruction in engineering programs and expectationsfrom the professionals in the field, who indicate that they need novice engineers with bettercommunication skills [3]. This suggests that what students learn in their academic programs doesnot necessarily meet the demand of the industry.This paper describes the response of two English faculty members to these concerns as wereorganize the only required technical writing course in the

In addition, more than 50% of respondentsrequire no lab reports [1], which can be interpreted as having no corresponding lab, confirmingthe perception that most process control courses in chemical engineering rely on classroomsettings and mathematical content [2]. “Systems Engineering, I: Dynamics and Modeling” is aclassical one-semester course in Process Control [3] and one of the two capstone courses forsenior students at the University of Pittsburgh.

The project management team must recognize the stakeholders and theirneeds by selecting suitable project delivery methods (PDMs) in order to successfully deliver SIprojects. A project delivery method outlines the roles of the parties involved in the project(typically the owner, contractor, and designer) and the timing of their engagement whenconstructing the facility [3].

Key components of service-learning include critical reflection and reciprocity [3].Reflection requires that students articulate the experience, while reciprocity requires that studentsaddress the real needs of sponsor to meet the learning outcomes. Because of reciprocity, theseprojects are more likely to be viewed by students as worthwhile given the creative freedom, thefeelings of empathy or for personal satisfaction [1]. Notwithstanding, service-learning projectscan bring risks such as an ill-defined project scope by not having a team of engineers define it, alack of direction by not having a

As illustrated, we included a number of exercises, topics, games,presentations, and opportunities for hands-on experience. The schedule was created such that allbasic technical skills were taught during the first two days of the workshop, and then on day 3 ofthe workshop, we included activities to help participants practice these skills.Our curriculum was devised to touch on interdisciplinary topics over different days, which couldappeal to a wide range of interests (i.e., art, music, community involvement). Examples of theseactivities included creating a self-portrait using programming, composing musical tunes withPython coding, and crowd
