, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students,change their major at least once while in university [1]. However, much of the research on thistopic focuses on the ‘why’ of major changes rather than the ‘where’ [2]–[5]. Such studies employframeworks like expectancy-value theory or social cognitive career theory to explain studentrational for changing majors, often highlighting the role elements like grade point average [6],salary expectations [7], or engineering identity [8] play in the decision-making process.Just as important as knowing why students change majors, however, is knowing what majorsstudents are leaving and entering. To this end, a historic dataset was used to examineundergraduate engineering student degree program changes. The following

/work ethic,oral/written communications, teamwork/collaboration, leadership, and other related skills [8-9].Another complication in this situation is that a majority of college graduates (over 80%) believe theyare proficient in these skills when entering their first workplace [9-10]. The goal of this study is to explore how the higher education system responds to thesechallenges and what is still needed to be done to reduce these gaps and prepare qualified graduatesready for a successful career. To examine how higher education adapts to emerging employer 1needs and implements the necessary changes in engineering education, we completed a

courses; and (3) students tend to treat sustainability courses as a one-off class, andoften lack a vision and clear next steps toward a career path in designing and innovating aroundsustainable products.To address the challenges above and to improve the skills and competency of engineeringstudents, we have introduced in our sustainability course two additional sets of training – one oninnovation and product design principles, practices, and methods and one on the entrepreneurialmindset. These additional training sets aim to: (1) encourage constant curiosity among studentsabout our changing world and anticipate the challenges of currently accepted solutions; (2) makeconnections from many resources to intersect ideas; and (3) develop product

Thesewere some of the most frequently used terms when looking at a commonality cloud, seen inFigure 2, which shows words and their frequency that were included in all three files. We did notfind any of the words surprising. Applicants used data 132 times, which was the most frequentlyused term. Figure 3 provides the frequency for the top 10 words used by applicants in all threequestions. For example, one teacher stated, “I am hoping this experience will help me show mystudents, how mathematics relates to the real world…My expectation is to help my studentslearn about the field of data analytics and the careers that go with it.” Figure 2.

students, this isimportant because industries are their object of analysis. Immersed in the industrialenvironment, they can better understand industrial concepts. Therefore, students can alsobetter understand the job market and analyze if they will follow one career or industry basedon their experience during the undergraduate course. Because of it, this program has a highlevel of engagement since students can choose their professional path. In Brazil, there aresimilar programs called internship, research assistant, and exchange. However, theseprograms need a dedicated team for students. Generally, students need to look for internshipsat companies or internship agencies, talk to professors with research grants, and look forexchange notices or

Reverse Engineering” course is an elective for mostengineering majors including biomedical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical. The“Product and Tool Design” course is mandatory for manufacturing students only, but can be anelective for the other majors if they take its pre-requisite “Production Engineering” as anotherelective. These courses help prepare the students for careers in product design and developmentand serve as additional capstone experiences before they take their capstone course – “IntegratedEngineering Design”. The instructor who is the lead author of this paper has had multiple groupsof his students earning provisional patents in his capstone course, while he also employed art inhis Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering
