. Many of these students may not have opportunities forpractical engineering training without this course. In a survey conducted at the end of the course, studentsreported improvement in all of the following three areas: (1) knowledge and skills in and out of theirmajors, (2) self-efficacy in solving complex problems in diverse team settings, and (3) soft skills such asleadership, collaboration, and public speaking. Many students indicated the course offered very valuablereal-world experience during their engineering education. Students also commented that this courseexperience is challenging but inspiring and motivating for them to pursue engineering careers.

The survey aims to understand student perspectives on communication, experiences,career goals, and course expectations. The self-efficacy component of the survey providesinformation regarding the individual student’s comfort with and attitude towards differentaspects of communication, and this is repeated at the end-of-semester in a final survey.
