Rubin Co-Publishes Engineering Academic Paper with Michigan State

Rubin is proud to release an academic paper with the mechanical engineering department at Michigan State called “Creating a Communications Curriculum for the Modern Engineer.”

Rubin and Michigan State began a pilot program in fall 2019 to incorporate communication skill lessons (ex: email etiquette) into engineering classes like design courses, labs and a senior capstone.

The innovative collaboration continued into the 2020-2021 academic year, and now the partnership is on full display as an academic paper published by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

From the paper’s abstract:

The paper outlines the development of a multi-course syllabus and leveraging an existing communications education solution. Careful work is done to integrate communication education into the course objectives and curriculum rather than treating it as an add-on. Evidence of successfully achieving student outcomes is measured with student surveys and questionnaires.

Marketing teacher Anna-Lisa Wanack from Nacogdoches Independent School District in Texas stands by her Rubin poster about the power of strong writing. Wanack relied on Rubin when she taught in Virginia Beach City Public Schools in Virginia. As soon as she landed in Texas, the Rubin posters and employability skills products returned.
