they became prepared forengineering work. Findings suggest that some preparation, and particularly with regard to non-technical skills (e.g., interpersonal skills), happens after graduation while on the job14-16.Through this analysis, we seek to bridge existing knowledge by following participants throughtheir undergraduate years and on into professional practice. As students, participants were askedabout the skills they thought would be important to their future work. Several years aftergraduation participants were asked to reflect back on their academic preparation and the skillsthat are important in their current work. We build on a prior analysis by Brunhaver et al.17 thatused interview data in a longitudinal examination of students first

A few grammar rules presented in the context of technical documentation to anengineering course at the beginning of each semester or quarter will, in most cases, eliminate manyof these mistakes.A third concern among readers of student text is the flat dull quality that comes from much of thetext that is produced by students. This quality reflects a lack of flow in the wording, a conditionsimilar to reading a list that indicates no apparent connection among the various parts of the list.This lack of connection makes a reader quickly begin to wander, sometimes becoming lost inpersonal thoughts far

Extracurricular involvement caninclude a wide range of activities, which can have numerous academic and personal benefits (andsome drawbacks).
