Similarly, AMD, an industry leader, has madetheir expectations clear for the Future Generation of Engineers3 to go beyond technical skills andinclude project management, leadership, cross cultural, collaboration and critical thinking skills.Researchers and instructors alike are starting to discuss how engineering service-learning can beused to fulfill ABET’s academic program requirements4. See Tables 1-3 in the discussionsection near the end of this paper for a comparison of these recommendations to the learningoutcomes found in our research. This paper intends to fill the need for the identification ofspecific learning outcomes and objectives based on these recommendations.The objectives presented here are grounded in opportunities observed

“become” researchers in the sense that they conductliterature reviews, develop research question(s), design (collaboratively with mentors/peers) theirstudy, and report their results. Initiating teachers into the research process in the first week of theRET experience is key. In this paper, we describe how we use a Legacy Cycle approach to trainthe teachers in the research process. The inquiry approach inherent in a Legacy Cycle providesteachers the flexibility to research topics and develop their interests, yet the structure of theCycle keeps the teachers focused and progressing towards the final goal/product: their researchquestion. Using the Legacy Cycle early in the RET experience also showcases how a Cycleunfolds when implemented. This is

This is enhanced throughmulti-organizational collaboration; however, such collaborations also lead to an increase inissues with solving team conflict and hardships in
of Industry InvolvementIndustry’s participation in PBL projects remains limited despite the numerous advantages ofindustry-university collaboration. The most apparent benefit that companies can gain through thecollaboration is that they can keep the prototype, artifact, or design that students developed eitheras a direct solution to their problem or for future testing and experimentation [12]. Thiscollaboration would also effectively outsource the work, saving time and human resources fornon-urgent strategical problems that will be addressed should the company have more manpower[12]-[13]. Throughout the development of a project, companies may observe, evaluate, and trainprospective employees; on the other hand, the university-industry

GAPS course design combines active learning and inductive teachingmethods, enabling students to apply professional skills directly to their thesis research throughcommunity-based experiential learning. In-class discussions, online forums, and peer feedbackalso facilitate collaborative problem-solving and reflective engagement.In this study, GAPS was used to evaluate the effectiveness of these pedagogical approaches.

Understanding the skills that enablesuccess both within and outside academia can help us provide more relevant and effectiveprogramming at the graduate level [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. Research in this areaacknowledges the value of transferable (non-technical skills) to students during their graduatedegree, as well as during their transition to industry. Often these skills can be most effectivelydelivered

Some disagreement between faculty and students was captured, indicating an opportunityfor alignment and student education. Industry strongly preferred verbal and writtencommunication skills for new hires, and this may also represent an opportunity to encouragemore engineering faculty to embed collaborative, communicative projects in otherwisefundamental engineering coursework.Engineering Curriculum at The CitadelRealizing the communications performance gap, ABET, and professional discipline-specificorganizations like ASME and ASCE have all recommended and promoted the development ofindividual and collaborative communication skills for
