professional developmentand trying to quickly educate their workforce to adopt Agile as an underlying approach to their overalldigital transformation projects. Agile workshops and certifications for professional development take onvarious forms. Professionals with no exposure to Agile are exposed to workshops to immerse themselvesin the values, principles, and practices, with the goal to quickly gaining skills to be part of effective Agileteams, conversant in terminology, approach, and digital lifecycle. In the core Agile sessions, thefundamentals of Agile history, mindset, values, principles, and practices are taught to the attendees. Theyare exposed to case scenarios allowing them to learn various roles and apply Agile to digital developmentto in
, with colleagues in Purdue’s College of En- gineering. The project focuses on developing a scalable and sustainable workforce development program for microelectronics that will serve as a model for other workforce development efforts (i.e., artificial intelligence, hypersonics). In this role, she examines organizational and leadership issues that span across an ecosystem of partners within the following areas: defense, government, industry, community colleges, and universities. Dr. Linvill’s research is strategically designed to address organizational challenges and create novel solutions to those challenges. Her work has been presented at national and international conferences and has been published in The Routledge
resources can be harnessed tocommunicate technical ideas to others in their discipline to get them to understand new ideas andthen take action based on that information [3]. This challenge is prevalent in academia, morespecifically in engineering-serving institutions.Engineering programs across various institutions have integrated professional communicationskills through community engagement projects, dovetailed with existing assignments inengineering courses, or have developed a separate communication for engineers course [4-7].These programs have utilized collaborative efforts from Engineering, English, Communication,Education, and Applied Linguistics faculty [7-11]. The challenges often encountered are theintegration techniques and logistics

resultsshowed higher student success with writing-intensive courses in developing critical writing skillsin a construction management course [2]. Challenges of developing writing skills amongundergraduate STEM curricula are addressed by Mayo and Wheaton [3] who state that writingassignments can be developed such that they assist students in connecting their technical work toreal-world applications. In their lesson plan, the students were expected to post their work on apublic platform encouraging students to produce quality work. Richards and Milanovicestablished partnerships with professional writing faculty, industry members and technicalcourse instructors to mentor senior design project students in effective writing through pairedteaching [4].

Figure 3 The nonfarm quit rate (millions) by region (data for December 2022 is projected) [6].Low unemployment leads to rising wages. High turnover often means training lessknowledgeable and less experienced workers at a faster pace in order to replace workers leavingat a faster rate. There can be a negative impact on workers remaining with their employers whomay perceive they are being left behind or being underpaid [21]. High turnover can also have anegative effect on a company’s image, which can make it even harder for them to hirereplacement workers.One of the well-documented effects of the Great Resignation is an increase in remote working[24]. This provides more
semester grade.In-person classThe in-person class followed a typical lecture style for the in-person classroom instruction. Theinstructor primarily taught using a chalkboard and also used PowerPoint slides to project keyconcepts and examples onto the screen. Figure 1 shows the setup for the in-person instruction. Theslides were provided on the university's course management system and students could accessthem in advance. Students attended class two evenings a week, with each class session lasting 75minutes. Weekly quizzes were held during the second class of the week and typically lasted 25minutes. The Minitab quiz was a take-home quiz for students to complete over the weekend. Theexams were 75-minute written exams taken during class time. Both
