Continued research also aims to increase the number of surveyparticipants in order to achieve a greater degree of statistical power in the results.References[1] Glenda D. Young, David B.

, three articles listed what the authors expressed as thenecessary competencies for engineering jobs 3,5,17. Among the competency lists presented bythese studies, some common competencies are identified. The common competencies includewritten and oral communication 3,5,17, teamwork and capacity for co-operation 3,17, andadaptability (or ability to cope with work pressure and stress) 3,17. Ivanova 17 also mentionednetworking as an important engineering competency, but no other articles referred to anythingcomparable as a potential competency. Nair, et al. 3 offered additional competencies to considerincluding: a. Interpersonal skills with colleagues and clients, b. Capacity to analyze and solveproblems, c. Ability to develop new or innovative

-sponsored seniordesigns focusing on two important aspects of them: (a) as an internship experience and a bridgeto job placement and (b) their role as a capstone class in the corresponding majors.Senior Design SurveyA survey of students enrolled in Senior Design classes in all majors in the School of Engineeringand Computer Science was conducted in late Fall 2016. In some sections of senior design theinstructors distributed hardcopy questionnaires. An online survey was distributed to the studentsthat did not complete a hardcopy survey. The total response rate was about 60%.The first few questions established the background of the responders.Q1: Are you involved in a UT-Design or other industry-sponsored senior design project thissemester?87.5% of
