Successful alumnae of the first REU Site collectively agree that Arizona State University is arecognized leader in construction education and strategically completed the first program byexceeding their expectations. Much of this success is due to the strong industry support for theschool, which validates the nature of research being conducted by the faculty members and alsoshows that the role the school plays in undergraduate and graduate education is significant.

Freshman and sophomore engineer ingmajors at Penn State Abington have used the robot contest as design projects to satisfydesign components of coursework, and as a focus for undergraduate research in the areasof robot navigation and fuzzy logic. Overall, the robot contest has successfully served as a resource for undergraduatedesign, research, and K-12 outreach. Mobile robotics design competitions of this typeencourage creative problem solving, teamwork, project management, research, andpromote interest in careers in science, engineering, and technology. One of the positivefeatures of the Robo-TrailBlazers contest is that participants are encouraged to consider avariety of solution strategies, including

This involves looking to themajority group of engineers to develop the proficiencies required as the expertpractitioners retire or make career moves.The technical leadership of the department, perhaps working with a training director,must identify the combination of subject matter and proficiencies required of the expertpractitioner.

However, few students have such expertise atthe start of their graduate program, nor do they formally acquire it as part of theircoursework. Direct writing instruction in engineering graduate programs is scarce, andto the extent that curricular or co-curricular technical communication instruction isoffered, it is often deemed remedial or separate from disciplinary content knowledge. Asa consequence, writing is largely devalued, despite its outsized role in graduatestudents’ academic lives and careers in industry and academia.To address this gap, the Council of Graduate Schools recommends the establishment ofgraduate writing centers (GWCs) that are staffed by
