Criterion 3 Student Outcome 5 [4]). Passow [5]surveyed ~2000 engineering graduates in 11 engineering fields at 2 years, 6 years, and 10 yearsafter graduation and asked them to rank the ABET competencies (a-k in 2012 [6]) in order ofimportance for engineering practice. Practicing engineers ranked teamwork, data analysis,problem solving, and communication skills as the most important competencies in theirprofessional experience. These skills were ranked significantly above the other ABETcompetencies surveyed (math, science, and engineering skills, experimental design, processdesign, ethics, impact, life-long learning, engineering tools, and contemporary issues). Morerecent studies similarly emphasize the importance of teamwork skills [7] as well as a
