IntroductionThe proliferation of advanced technologies throughout the global economy demands changes inall aspects of life, including industrial and academic activities. New market opportunities,competitive pressures, and government regulations have triggered a widespread wave of changesacross the industry, in regard with both its technical and business practices. The dynamics ofthese changes propagates, obviously, also to the area of engineering education, since the industryis the "ultimate customer" of universities, where their graduates are to be employed and expectedto pursue professional careers [1

This pilot test indicated the computer tutorials wereeffective (See Merino and Abel 2002), so the authors augmented the sample by addingapproximately 325 additional fourth and fifth year students who participated in the spring,summer and fall of 2002.

Industrial participants in the project provide specific design problemsrelated to emerging technologies. Students are taught the fundamentals of computational fluiddynamics (CFD) during a one-week workshop. This is followed by an Internet course on multiphasetransport phenomena. The students work in teams on CFD design problems with a faculty andindustrial mentor. The salient results of this NSF/CRCD project are

We mustpresent students with interesting problems and ask them to engage with the topics in a personalway–asking their own questions about the implications of technologies and applying theideas/questions to their life. Finally, “we have to give the students opportunities to respond inauthentic ways” such as in discussions, and reflections rather than exams.

As applied to engineering education, faculty members might ask students to thinkabout the best way to communicate a finding to different cultural audiences, stakeholders withdiverse backgrounds, or clients with differing abilities. Students need to “slow down” theircommunication to be deliberate with their word choice and phrasing the make the most effectiveimpact.7 It is important to develop and practice these critical “soft skills” in a classroom setting, sothey can
