Projects: A Case StudyGood professional communication skills and the ability to work in teams are critical skillsdemanded by engineering companies. Further, in order to maintain competitiveness and to workin the global marketplace, engineering companies are increasingly supporting the creation anduse of professional standards that are developed by engineering societies. Unfortunately, manyundergraduates have historically received little or no education regarding this aspect ofengineering.This paper describes the efforts to provide students with laboratory-based projects which providestudents with significant exposure to professional engineering standards and practices.
