By examining the feedbackof students, instructors, and mentors, the study seeks to document the experience of allstakeholders in the process and to identify how this approach may enhance practical skills, fosterinnovation, and improve market readiness among engineering students. While the study presentspreliminary results at this stage, it aims to establish a foundational understanding of the potentialimplications of using the I-Corps NSF program in an engineering IBL classroom. The insightsgathered from this study can inform future curriculum development, teaching methods, and theoverall approach to engineering education, focusing on

With over 400 students and only one dedicated communication instructor, providingpersonalized coaching was not feasible.We incorporated PitchVantage, an AI-driven public speaking software, into our program toaddress this gap. This tool offered a solution by delivering tailored feedback, enabling morefrequent practice, and providing mini-lectures on various aspects of communication. This paperexplores the effectiveness of such technological interventions in honing the communication skillsof engineering students.We aim to share insights and add to the ongoing dialogue about integrating communication skillstraining within the engineering curriculum.

The primary challenge of this class has been to teach an understanding ofthese methods to students with diverse backgrounds in computer programming, mechanics andstatistical physics. In order to meet this challenge the class reviews fundamental concepts in eachof these subject areas. Computer programming assignments play a key role in developing studentunderstanding, but programming assignments can easily overwhelm students unfamiliar withprogramming.

The industrial interaction that is present in the curriculum may be the source of thehigh rating by the students in terms of professionalism, although their interpretation is not clear tous. The results also show that although the curriculum prepares the students well for the initialyears after graduation, some adjustments could be made to prepare the students for the long-termprofession needs. This would include an expansion of course material related to management andinterpersonal communication.
