changes the dynamic of the audiencefrom passive to active listeners and participants. Fun games are also used to introduce conceptssuch as analogies and illustrations to convey complex topics.The effectiveness of our approach is confirmed by assessing the students’ assignment grades preand post course which show significant improvement. Similarly, based on the student courseratings data students rated highly the relevance and usefulness of this course. We believe thatwith the skills they develop in this class, students will start their engineering careers well-prepared to progress upward professionally.1.

students' career social capitalIntroductionWhile there have been many policy level calls for increasing the diversity of the engineeringworkforce, there is little known about the work experiences of engineering students of identitiestraditionally excluded from engineering (e.g., women, LGBTQ+, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx)engineering students [1]–[7]. As Co-ops and internships are many students first industryexperience, it is important to understand how these experiences shape their career development. Work-integrated learning (WIL) programs, such as Co-op programs, internships, andworkforce development programs, are valuable for engineering students’ career development.WIL programs provide opportunities for students to access valuable
