excellence in engineering education and positioning itself for ABET accreditation,the College of Engineering (CoEng) at the University of Tabuk (UT), Tabuk located in SaudiArabia has integrated a strong engineering practice component into its educational programcurricula. This component relies on a series of courses that foster a variety of soft skills wrappedaround four design project courses and two four-week practical training periods at a company orresearch facility. Furthermore, students at the senior level are strongly encouraged to undertakerealistic projects. In this paper, we describe our experience with three groups of students fromthe Electrical Engineering (EE) Department who undertook projects sponsored by the SensorNetworks and

work looks at the impact of authentic value- added capstone projects on student’s soft skills by comparing results of a multi-year collaboration survey given to multiple senior capstone teams. The observed trends suggest that projects with community impact (irrespective of size or geographic constraint) foster increased communication, participation, and ultimately collaboration.Introduction There is a worldwide push to engage and develop K-12 student interest in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines1. Some STEM collegiate programs,such as civil and mechanical engineering, seem to have a plethora of incoming and returningstudents.Why?Buildingblocks

qualifications that distinguish him/her from the rest of the world, and make themworthy of high wages that are currently 5 to 10 times higher than those attained in the FarEast. The goal is not to go back to the days of heavy ECE enrollment, but to chart thecourse for a sustainable ECE curriculum that meets the needs of industry and continues tomove the US forward as a leader in a high-tech world. The change needed is twofold:macroscopic and microscopic. At a macroscopic level the change is largely related toenhancing the soft skills of the graduating engineer, while at a microscopic level, thechange is specific and is related to classical ECE study subjects. Underlying both aspectsof change are three key factors that are a must for all engineers

During the design and construction phaseof the challenge students must tackle several Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) related issues such as embedded microcontroller programming, closed loop controlcalculation, modeling and implementation, as well as overall vehicle dynamics (physics).Soft skills are likewise emphasized through team collaboration, design documentation, andproject management.Creating a high-speed race car is the apex of the challenge. High speed control coupled with theunpredictable track design creates some spectacular problems to solve and just as common somespectacular crashes.

For example, the current/voltage of a RC circuit could be applied from the perspectiveof a power side-channel attack.The course can further be used to develop and evaluate soft skills and the students’ ability toapply engineering knowledge to culturally relevant topics. Presentations, in-class discussions, andwritten reports prepare students for the workplace where both soft and technical skills arerequired. Additionally, as discussions of ethics are integral to a course in security, the course alsoinvolves professional and ethical responsibilities. The combination of soft skills and ethicalconsideration included in the course give faculty a foundation to do ABET assessment to go alongwith the technical concepts.In this

These techniques are often limited to design-courses that develop “soft-skills” in engineers. Conventional courses, however, subscribe totraditional teaching methods with fewer opportunities for student reflection. Examples ofunconventional reflective journaling activities employed in an engineering course that addressedmodern physics concepts and semiconductor material topics will be highlighted in this paper.The teaching and learning model for this course was based on the established theory of

Programs, SACS does not adopt particular outcomes but mandates thatoutcomes are meaningful, manageable, and measurable. SACS also encourage programs not tohave more than six SLOs for effective assessment and to only use direct measures whichsometimes present conflict with ABET outcomes which are more numerous and have norestriction on using additional indirect measures to assess the soft skills. Therefore, combiningboth SACS and ABET criteria into a unified assessment process is not a trivial task but can havetremendous advantage to any engineering program. To this end, the eleven ABET outcomeswere used as performance indicators for the six SACS defined student learning outcomes. TheseSLOs identify the skills categories that Electrical Engineering

agentprogramming. We teach pedagogic material for the first half of the semester; then in the secondhalf, students form inter-class teams for their main project. The PM class trains students inproject management and other soft skills and then puts them on the line managing the C3/C4teams. Many of the PM students have already taken the C3/C4 sequence, but we have graduatestudents who have not. The projects are sophisticated, requiring significant design, scheduling,and teamwork over an eight week period. In addition, because students in C4 have already takenC3, they are in a position to mentor the younger students even though the projects are differentfrom semester to semester.We have received validation that this approach is working.

Many feel that the skills that they have learned in their technical programs arenot being utilized on the job [7]. Traits that are in demand in industry (such as the non-technicalskills, or ―soft skills‖) often come into conflict with the actual training that engineers acquireduring their degree programs, while the math and design skills that are emphasized in schoolremain underutilized.

reduced, but the more important reason forimplementing groups is the benefits to the students by helping them develop teamwork andcommunication skills. These so-called soft skills are often just as important as the technicalskills and abilities gained in lab courses. Engineering students need to gain as muchexperience working on teams as possible, so they are prepared for the teaming environmentthat is prevalent in industry. When implementing groups in a course, the group selection process is a vital aspectthat people often overlook. The number of people to put in a group is the first question thatneeds to be answered. For this study, two-person groups are used because it works best forthe type of course it was implemented in. However, the

At the recent March 2-3, 2009 NAE Summit in Durham, North Carolina, several ofthese challenges were discussed, and the imperative of having strong math and scientificfoundations, a knowledge of business and entrepreneurship, an awareness of the globalenvironment, and soft-skills development in engineering education was made clear.
