Someof the student learning outcomes for the course relate to the learning outcomes identified incategory 3 of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditationrequirements (2001) [1]. Specifically, ABET expects that “Engineering programs mustdemonstrate that their students attain the following outcomes: Category 3(d) an ability tofunction on multi-disciplinary teams and… (g) an ability to communicate effectively”. In thisstudy, we examine the gains in communication and team skills in different sections of a requiredspeech course. The students enrolled in these sections are primarily freshmen.

Engineering’ departments in USuniversities have evolved into interdisciplinary and collaborative Materials Science andEngineering programs. Over the last few decades, MSE has become collaboratively involved inthe fields of biology (biomaterials and biomedical research), mechanical engineering (machinecomponents, MEMS and tribology), electrical engineering (semiconductors), physics andchemistry (nanomaterials and solid-state physics research). The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum. However, many of the traditional textbooks that are

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Systemic Transformation of Evidence-based Education Reform (STEER)It is generally accepted that a growing fraction of U.S. job openings will require STEMcompetency [1-3]. However, while the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in STEMdisciplines has increased over the past ten years [4], the retention of students in these programs isstill quite low (less than 40%) [5]. While some students leave a STEM major because of pooracademic performance, many have grade point averages that are as high as those of students whostay in their major [6]. This latter group leaves for a variety of reasons, including lack of self-confidence [7-8], and lack of

Industry needs engineers that are trained in the latest, most effectiveembedded digital system design technologies. To meet this industrial need, the educational modus operandimust be updated to incorporate the revolutionary new design techniques being developed in the RASSPprogram and elsewhere. In effect, a paradigm shift in digital system design education is needed. This paper will describe a novel educational program that will ensure the successful transfer of the newtechnologies and
