The course also provides a setting in lecture format for describing to studentsthe engineering topics identified as the “Professional Component” of engineering by ABET, andembeds topics in advanced composition relevant to engineering professions. Through a series oflectures and lab assignments, this course specifically addresses the “Professional Component”ABET topics and provides multidisciplinary design experiences that students enjoy.References 1.

sufficient time for extensive, hands-on work. Theintroduction of engineering practice into these courses would be very limited. Forexample, students can be given assignments which require them to study professionalstandards.Laboratory experiments are often combined into specific laboratory courses wherestudents tend to be given detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to use the laboratoryequipment and calculate the results. This approach is not the best way to learn thematerial, since (a) the lecture and the lab are not presented at similar times and (b) it doesnot accurately reflect the reality of professional engineering practice. Further, thelaboratory experiments used in these courses often are intended simply to illustratefundamental

needs more than just knowing which equations and parameters to use. Miller (24) pointsout that industry expects to hire engineers who “can go beyond the numbers” with anunderstanding of the impact of the technical results.Another difference is how the results are communicated. In the classroom, the professorreceives the calculations on an engineering pad with the answer placed in a box. But in theworking world, e-mails are now a major form of communication. Figure B is an outline of thesedifferences in style, intent, and format between the classroom communications and e-mails.I found discussions in the literature on e-mail etiquette, structure, and audience.
