Additional skills cited include acommitment to team work, good communication skills, ethical standards, ability to thinkcritically, and flexibility that allows for accommodating rapid change4. Professional organizations such as National Academy of Engineering (NAE) suggest theundergraduate curriculum should be amended so that international experiences, development ofcultural competencies, and foreign language skills become integral components2 and would leadto the development of a global engineer who possesses appropriate competencies for practice in aprofessional setting with a global reach.

(STEM) education is an effective catalyst toengage students in science & engineering careers. STEM continues to support the long-term goalof preparing students for life-long careers that promise a competitive edge in the job market.However, STEM program development is often challenging. Wu-Rorrer [1] argues that “STEMremains vaguely defined, and the strategies to successfully integrate it into the currenteducational system remain elusive”, inferring that a school’s STEM program is amorphous.Furthermore, STEM programs need more work than before with recent pressure to promoteinclusivity [2] and a solid career path [3] in a stable environment [4]. To better solve thisdilemma, there remains an aspect of STEM programs that is overlooked – the

graduates (52%) considered theirwritten and oral communication skills to be strong [6]. In a parallel survey, only 9% of industryrepresentatives considered the communication skills of recent mechanical engineering graduatesto be strong. These results suggest that student and recent graduate perceptions ofcommunication on the job are not aligned with actual expectations.There are several strategies that programs have developed in an attempt to remedy thisdisconnect [7]. In many programs, there has been a push towards integration of communicationacross the curriculum, where communication skills are emphasized in a broader range ofengineering courses. Additionally, some engineering programs have developed partnerships withEnglish, communication or

The data below, however, indicate a slight decrease instudent grades in the years where DSP is now taught previous to analog signals and systems.A decrease in DSP-only grades because of changing DSP from an elective course to a requiredone might be expected, so that is not the

reflected the culmination of the efforts of several engineeringeducators who had benefited from the European, more theoretical approach to engineering.(Seely5 quotes Walker6 as writing, “They taught us elegant theory: vector diagrams . . . ,hyperbolic functions . . . , and even triple integrals.”) The rapid and widespread acceptance of theGrinter report was accelerated by the Soviet Union’s 1957 launch of Sputnik.The tenor of the times thus very much dictated an analytical, science-based approach toengineering education.

As a result, engineering design experience is gradually becoming a vitalcomponent of K-12 education, especially at the high school level. The process of initiatingand completing an engineering design project requires students to engage both in analyticalreasoning, active creation, and testing of solutions. One must ensure that engineering designprojects are engaging for all students, particularly those from demographics that areunderserved, underperforming, or underrepresented in the STEM fields.

curriculum showed that energyconcepts are indeed fragmented into disciplinary silos (Chen, Scheff, Fields, Pelletier, &Faux, 2014). This means that students cover the same energy concepts in differentclasses, but learning does not necessarily build on prior knowledge and it is notconnected to other content areas. Because current curricula do not do a sufficient job ofintegrating energy across the K12 science disciplines, additional work needs to be done todevelop curriculum that covers multiple science disciplines, including biology, earthscience, physical science, and chemistry. An ideal bioenergy curriculum would teachstudents core concepts of the field from the various disciplinary perspectives, as well aspresent the material in a learning
