Session Description

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping engineering practice across industries, altering how engineers design, analyze, communicate, and make decisions. While many companies are actively integrating GenAI tools into workflows and investing heavily in workforce upskilling, engineering educators continue to grapple with a critical question: What does industry expect new engineering graduates to know about GenAI upon entering the workforce?

This interactive session brings together industry leaders from engineering-intensive organizations to share current practices, expectat ... (continued)

Session Description

Effective communication and confident self-presentation are essential yet often underdeveloped
components of professional engineering practice (Hendricks and Pappas, 1996; Friedland, 2004; de Souza
Almeida, et al., 2021). Engineers must not only master technical knowledge but also convey ideas
persuasively, collaborate dynamically, and adapt in uncertain situations. While prior work has suggested
that theatrical improvisation (improv) can offer a powerful and playful way to build these capacities (Miner,
et al., 2021), such work often appears outside engineering domains. Therefore, educators ... (continued)
