Hybrid method refers to the use of educationalmodels that target both qualitative and quantitative understanding of structural analysis. In particular, inthis study, a series of hands-on activities were designed and incorporated into the ArchitectureStructure classes to provide students with a deeper level of understanding of structural behavior.

One interesting arena for analysis is whether studentseffectively transfer knowledge in one STEM discipline to applications or problem solving inanother discipline, or more likely, in an engineering design setting. Venville et al. havedocumented elements of this phenomena on students designing a solar-powered boat15,16. Theirfindings suggest that while students did draw on their prior content knowledge in completing anintegrated STEM task, they often did not draw on the most relevant ideas, they tended to do soonly at the beginning of the design process, and not iteratively to modify or revise their designlater. They also did not show capacity to deepen their understanding of a concept through

communication representan essential dimension of the engineering profession. Modern engineers not only need to producetechnically appropriate designs, but to communicate these designs in written, oral, and graphicalform to multiple audiences ranging from their technical peers to the general public (Troy, Essig,Jesiek, Boyd, & Trellinger, 2014).In order to understand the current industry’s expectations of engineering communication skills,verifying how these expectations confirm the current body of knowledge, or if there are newinsights that potentially could reshape communication instruction in engineering programs, thefollowing research questions were established for this study:1. How are the specific communication skills expected from practicing
