ENGINEERING SKILLS • In addition to acquiring disciplinary technical knowledge, students must learn how to express and apply that technical knowledge • Personal, interpersonal, product, process, and system building skills are inseparable from applications of technical knowledge, and must be learned and assessed in technical contexts • Therefore, technical communication skills, teamwork, problem solving, professional ethics, etc. ARE engineering skills EXAMPLE Communication in engineering means being able to Use technical concepts comfortably Discuss a problem of different levels Determine what is relevant to the situation Argue for or against conceptual ideas and solutions Develop ideas through discussion and collaborative sketching Explain technical matters to different audiences Show confidence in expressing oneself within the field
