select responses, it can be seen that students value the industry knowledge andskills imparted by laboratories as well as soft skills: “The last lab that was done for the coursewas counting grains. This was a very important concept throughout the entire course”; “I dobelieve experience with different hardness and tensile tests are important, however I do not knowhow important these skills will be in industry as opposed to research”; “I think all labs inuniversity create better soft skills in group work”; “I believe working in group projects is a veryimportant skill to know.” Besides confirming one of the initial motivations for this study, thatlaboratories should include more industry-relevant learning, this also indicates that time spent

pairs in a more data-driven manner can help to mitigate issues, no method will be fail-safe. In fact, there is significant benefit to an instructor taking time to coach students in conflicton how to communicate and resolve issues such as scheduling, flexibility, setting and meetinggoals, and accountability. Doing so allows students to raise their EQ (emotional intelligence) andto prepare to handle the inevitable workplace or social conflict. In the experience of the courseinstructor, it is not always advisable to immediately switch pairs or split a pair when a conflict isfirst identified, especially if re-assignment may affect other pairs. Instead, effort should be madeto allow students to develop these soft skills before more drastic measures

focused heavily on technical education, according to cognitivetheory, experience based on soft skills can build a foundation for better understanding andinstincts in the field and its practice [12].Research Questions: (1) How do undergraduate engineering students perceive computational thinking practices? (2) How do undergraduate engineering students infuse computational thinking into their professional fields? (3) How does computational thinking infusion differ among male and female engineering students?MethodologyTo address the research question, a qualitative approach was taken in this study to collate varioususe cases and interpretations of CT’s applicability within the frame of reference of engineeringstudents

. Historically, amajor deterrent for women considering STEM has been lower levels of math self-assessment [8],though recent studies suggest that this is becoming less important for persistence [12], [13]. Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29]. This shift suggests a need to explore how students perceive thefield of ML/AI and highlights the importance of studying other factors contributing to persistence.Professional role confidence, comprised of expertise confidence and career-fit confidence, is thedegree to which a person feels confident in their competence

the engineering program structure could be filled with theuse of DT and that the present curriculum drove students to think in a ‘Just-in-Case’ manner– where students learned things in case they were going to be tested on them. With their DTapproach, specific content about the learning outcomes could be made accessible to students.This study found that it is pertinent for students to learn the necessary soft skills from ayoung age to get multiple opportunities to apply them during their engineering course [49].Moreover, there was great emphasis on the times and methods in which students’ learnerscomprehend the relevance of the content they are taught [49]. This can be compared to theresults of this study using EDIPT in an Asian context. As
