Storm cells, tornadoes, and haz-ardous weather cause damage and loss that could be minimized through enhanced radarand longer warning lead times.

While different operationalizations exist for professional skills, the NationalAcademy of Engineering and ABET generally agree that students’ development should focus onfive specific areas: teamwork and shared leadership, effective communication, creative problem-solving, business and management principles, and professional and ethical responsibility. Inengineering education, skills development often happens within courses like cornerstone andcapstone design [1], as well as in cocurricular activities such as professional organizations andstudent design teams [2].
