An Innovative Model For Teaching Communication Skills In Engineering Curricula

Abstract

He obtained both his baccalaureate and master's degrees from LSU ME and his doctorate from Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering. He has been actively engaged in teaching, research and curricula development since joining the faculty in 1988.

Development and Assessment of an Innovative Program to Integrate Communication Skills into Engineering Curricula

“…A faculty survey we reported in 2009 and discuss later in this paper demonstrates how many of the reservations about this requirement were allayed. 7 Feedback and Revision Techniques. One of the challenging requirements of C-I courses in engineering is that students must receive feedback from the instructor on drafts of formal assignments.…”

Incorporating Visual Communications Assignments To Enrich Education In All Engineering Disciplines

“…2 Faculty assessment of C-I courses in 2008 showed that workload increased somewhat for both faculty and students in C-I courses; however, it was also acknowledged that students' knowledge of traditional course content was enhanced. 3 Another key element in the CxC program was the establishment of communication studios in the various colleges. The first of these, the Engineering Communication Studio (Studio), was opened in the fall of 2005.…”
