Communication and Collaboration


Description:
ABET explicitly states in its criteria for accreditation that chemical engineering programs must ensure that students can communicate effectively (3g) and that students must be able to function on multi-disciplinary teams (3d). This session solicits presentations on how departments accomplish these goals. Presentations are invited that address innovative courses or assignments within the curriculum; effective ways to handle project teams (including teams between departments or universities, as well as the use of on-line document management tools); novel uses of social networking; and incorporation of on-campus resources to facilitate effective communication, or other relevant topics.
