Another 5% wishedthey had created a podcast. Their perceptions of whether or not a podcast is a good medium tolearn technical content did not vary substantially between the beginning and end of the semester.They did indicate, however, that they invested more time creating a podcast (average of 39hours) over writing a paper (31 hours).

Employers haveinsisted that graduates in engineering must also have mastered requisite communication skills inorder to become a valued member of their organizations.3 This view has been implemented intoCriterion 3 of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) ProgramOutcomes and Assessment; that is, “the necessity for engineering graduates to demonstrate theability to communicate effectively.”5At LSU, this criterion is addressed through a university-wide program initiated in 2004 thatfocuses on improving students’ communication skills in four modes: written, spoken
