, using a questionnaire methodology: i) Do engineering studentsbecome more active and metacognitive readers between their freshman and senior years;ii) do engineering students become less “transmission” oriented and more “transaction”oriented in their beliefs about text? The results are considered in terms of theirconsistency with other available data about engineering students’ study behaviors, and interms of implications for the design of undergraduate engineering curricula.IntroductionThe claim that “Engineering is a profoundly creative process”1 seems entirely correct as adescription of the nature of professional engineering. It also conveys a sense of themindset and skill levels that are set as goals for advanced students in engineering

classes thanthose in the TPS classes. Overall, comparing IEPS and TPS classes revealed that attitudestowards communication, motivation, and engineering identity improved significantly more forthose in the IEPS classes compared to those in the TPS classes. The paper concludes bydiscussing future directions for research in engineering instruction/communication.Introduction:This research paper assesses outcome differences between a traditionally taught public speakingcourse and one integrated with engineering specific content. Communication underpins theevolution of every field of science [1], [2], and plays a central role in the process of science—notonly in sharing the findings upon which scientists build knowledge, but also in

School of Education Abstract There is a growing concern among universities that students in undergraduate andgraduate engineering and business programs will be unprepared or underprepared to work inglobal workforces. In their 2005 publication, Engineers for 2020, the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) urged university engineering schools nationwide to embed curriculum andassessment measures into academic programs that provide opportunities and associatedassessment metrics to meet this international challenge. Specifically, the NAE chargesuniversities and colleges to prepare engineers that are leaders in global engineering fields withstrong communication, leadership and interdisciplinary research
