Daly is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan in engineering edu- cation, earning her doctorate from Purdue University’s Engineering Education program in 2008. Her research focuses on the investigation and application of complex professional skills, specifically de- sign ideation, innovation practices, and creative processes within engineering, outside of engineering, and cross-disciplinarily. Her research includes an emphasis on the translation of research to practice in the form of pedagogy, curriculum development, and faculty support and programming in implementing

These skills included surveying, othermeasurement skills, data collection and analysis, and computer skills including spreadsheets andprogramming. The second area of focus was on communication with a focus on writing and oralpresentations.In response to the goal of increased communication skills, traditional lecture-style instructionwas extensively supplemented by a series of projects that the students completed in groups. Eachproject was designed to utilize all of the skill and learning components selected for emphasis inthe sequence.

The final exam, as earlierassignments, includes an essay focusing on the relationship between science and engineering.Focusing on the theme of science and engineering throughout the course helps studentsappreciate the heavy emphasis on science and math in the engineering curriculum, as well as theimportance of interdisciplinary collaboration in engineering projects.

For ease ofdevelopment, the requirements of the solution were broken down into several segments.Initially, various types of antennas were researched to determine which types would beeffective instructional instruments. Then, from the research, three different types ofantennas were selected as suitable for instructional purposes. The design parameters foreach of the antenna types, was established, and the three theoretical antenna designscomputed. After the antenna computations were complete, a written design procedurewas documented. The written design procedure includes all of the necessary data toenable students to design the three selected antennas. Next, simulations

. Lewis notes that many MIT students pursue Wall Street careers; Bankman-Fried was notable in part for his philanthropic motives and in part for an almost preternatural skill navigating games of probability and uncertainty. Lewis links this ability to his favorite pastimes—the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering and then the computer game Storybook Brawl—but there is a connection to EA here as well. Like financial trading, the movement is predicated in part on sophisticated assessment of probabilities via Bayesian reasoning to chase expected value. EA leaders typically present the finance sector merely as an instrument, and sometimes acknowledge an anticipated distaste for Wall Street in their

To address this need for students to acquire communication skills, undergraduate andgraduate engineering programs can offer entire courses on technical communication, integrateexercises into their traditional curriculum, or offer support services such as one-on-oneconsultations in a technical communication lab or writing center. Since these approaches workbest in tandem, various universities in the United States have established technicalcommunication labs over the past decade.
