Theuniversity students had to use their best judgment to identify specific learning objectives butwithout knowing the Dominican students and their prior educational experiences and levels ofunderstanding many of the objectives had to be modified during the actual teaching process.Another challenge was translation of materials. Five of the university students had significantexperience speaking Spanish (three of the students had limited Spanish speaking abilities). Eventhough fluent in speaking Spanish, translating the lessons, especially technical terms, proved tobe difficult for the university students. To avoid potential confusion, the

A program was developed andpiloted for civil engineering graduate students that will be of particular interest to faculty andgraduate students. Faculty will benefit from models for improving the organization of thesiswriting and teaching technical writing skills. Graduate students will be better equipped in termsof practical or professional skills that, in turn, will make them valued employees from day one.This paper presents the details of the program, preliminary assessments, suggestions for futureresearch, and plans for future development.IntroductionThis paper describes a pilot program that promotes excellent communication skills for civilengineering

refreezingThe stages of evolutionary and revolutionary change identified by Kuhn (1962) in his treatise onthe development of scientific theories are so widely known that his terminology has becomewidespread in the academy. Periods of evolutionary change, or the state of “normal science,” asKuhn (1962) referred to it, can be planned and managed. Kuhn suggested that revolutionarychange, or “revolutionary paradigm” shifts, cannot be planned and managed because they areunpredictable and relatively swift compared to the state of normal science.Numerous authors, such as Chin and Benne (1985) and Schein (2002) have expanded on Kuhn’stwo broad categories. Schein (2002), for example, described three types of change: 1. Natural evolutionary changes 2

Parentsused available resources to help their children learn different subjects. Resources on somesubjects were more accessible and available than others. And teaching subjects like engineeringthat had very limited resources became the least of parents’ priority, if not eliminatedcompletely.
