To help students acquire these skills, more and more engineeringeducators are exploring ways to integrate communication instruction throughout the engineeringcurriculum instead of sending students to stand-alone courses in English and speech, where theinstruction has nothing to do with engineering and thus leaves the students responsible for learninghow to apply their newly acquired

They interject rigor into the curriculum bydeveloping thinking and problem-solving skills through integration and active learning. Bestpractices are applicable to all degree levels and provide the building blocks for instruction. Bestpractices motivate, engage and prompt students to learn and achieve.

The technique improves studentlearning and retention of science concepts, largely because students learn more when they areinterested and actively involved in what they are doing, and when they understand the relevanceof the material to their own lives.[8, 11]Recent developments in curriculum reform have also promoted the integration of science,technology, and mathematics in an effort to deviate from the traditional, compartmentalizedsubject structure and move toward learning situations that mimic the real world.[12-14] Thesereform movements promote the teaching and learning of science process skills

ABET’s current leadership-related student outcome 3.5 requiresengineering program students to demonstrate, “an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provideleadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives,” [7]. This studentoutcome suggests a requirement for students to grasp and apply leadership principles in team-based work but lacks a direct outcomefor educational institutions to pivot for an integrated approach to leadership education in engineering.

concentrations, whichresults in a greater reduction in p-DIPB production. Our experience with this problem is that students tend to focus on one possible cause and onepotential remedy. This is a because they are still used to the single-answer problems used in traditionalcourses. Even with the vertical integration of design throughout our curriculum, single answers are still themode. The most popular single answer, in our experience, is catalyst deactivation or poisoning, which iscertainly a reasonable possibility. The most popular single remedy is, therefore, plant shut-down to replacethe catalyst. When we use problems like this, students must present their solutions and are subject toquestions from faculty.

engineering students feel underprepared when going into the workforce, due to a lack ofreal-world application of the college curriculum and the lack of necessary skills to confidentlymake engineering and business decisions [1-3]. Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5]. Furthermore, a study by the Carnegie Foundationfound that engineering schools primarily focus on the acquisition of technical knowledge, leavinglittle attention to real-world application or preparing for employment [6].To combat this issue, the

Front-end engineering design is an underemphasized project area and can be used as means toencourage interests in and improve perceptions of STEM fields especially when grounded in socio-cultural contexts.
