learningopportunities. This enhanced understanding not only benefits employers’ hiring practices, butalso it can help Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs improve curricula and expandlearning opportunities to best meet students’ and employers’ needs. In this study, we triangulatedindustry competency model content with rural employer perspectives on new advancedmanufacturing (AM) professionals’ desired competencies (i.e., the level of skill sophistication ina particular AM work area). To extract competencies for entry-level AM rural jobs, we used adeductive approach with multiple methods. First, we used Natural Language Processing (NLP)to extract, analyze, and compare the U.S. Department of Labor’s AM 2010 and 2020Competency Models because they reflect

internal consistency was determined for eachquestionnaire (Cronbach's alpha = 0.77–0.85) and reflected good validity; therefore, nofurther changes were made before the questionnaires' broader distribution.2.3 Statistical analysis After collecting data from the returned responses, the Statistical Package for theSocial Sciences (SPSS) (version 23) was used for analysis. The results are presented aspercentages, means, standard deviations, and frequencies.2.4 Results The following sections show the study results of the courses' importance as evaluatedfrom the academic and non-academic perspective. Participants in the questionnaires ratedwater courses in terms of importance on a 5-point Likert scale (5 is important, 1 is

the challenging time of the pandemic and/or the program being held entirelyvirtually, or whether we would have experienced the same faltering engagement if this programwere running in a typical in-person, non-pandemic academic setting.An additional challenge we are facing is a lack of diversity in our mentorship pool, across gender(just two of the mentors in the ISMP TEAM group are women) and engineering discipline, as wellas an underrepresentation of black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) program participants.This lack of diversity is similarly reflected in the SMSE advisory board and alumni pools fromwhich the program mentors were selected, and is a critical challenge that the SMSE is working toaddress. That said, the students

there appears to be a small positive gaintowards graduation moving the line above average readiness. Additional connection wasobserved when RQ1b was explored. As Table 3 reflects, there appears to be a strong correlation(ρ = 0.913, p = 0.087) between the mean readiness response and the number of professionalexperiences a student has. A t-test was used to compare overall (mean) readiness of the students who had no professional experiences to the group of students who had one or more experiences(p = 0.236, t = 1.189, df = 280).RQ1c explored “Does the self-reported level of the practice readiness differ across variousprofessional experiences? Which experience is the most impactful?” A total of 498 experienceswere

collaboration and communicationand disrupted project schedules. While the pandemic created many barriers to the capstonedesign experience, it also provided a substantial real-world constraint for students to assess andaddress. In this respect, the pandemic was an unanticipated learning opportunity for students tolearn how to improvise, innovate, and adapt over the course of their design experience.A limited number of studies have examined how the capstone design experience changed duringthe pandemic. Jamieson reflected on the challenges during the pandemic and strategies used topreserve the quality of the students’ learning experience in a chemical engineering capstone, asenior design course and a transdisciplinary freshman course. One of the key

coursewas 98%.The TTI survey was administered again in the junior year in the context of the ProfessionalPractice of Engineering course, which is a required lecture-based course that students take aftercompletion of a minimum of one co-op semester. The survey was required and was used in asignificant assignment in which students reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and on how toleverage the former and mitigate the latter. The survey participation for junior students whocompleted the course was 100%.The TTI survey was also administered to ninety-three (93) graduate students in a professionalmasters program in product development, which draws early career engineering professionals.This group is considered to be successful in their careers as
