qualifications, and career path navigation.The concept of the engineerIn France engineers enjoy a high social rank where they constitute the mainstay of high-levelmanagers in French industries, different from other countries where these positions areoccupied by science Ph.Ds (Lemaître, 2017). In China, engineers do not enjoy as high asocial status and, in fact, the title of engineer lacks proper regulation (Qiao et al., 2023). Thisis reflected in most interviewees’ understanding of the difference in the concept between thetwo countries. ‘Engineers are viewed as elites of society in France, whereas in China, they arejust ordinary science and technology graduates’ (S6). Students understand that the concept ofengineer in France is broad, signifying an

(Mechanical Engineer) “Honestly, the power of Excel and MATLAB are still stunning to me, and I was totallyunaware of either software before my experiences at Purdue and in Rising Scholars. These simpletools give me such an incredible ability collect information, examine it, and act on it. I was taughtthe basics in my college classes, but then I saw it applied everywhere. The projects we did alongthe way made us use them. I used Excel for tracking at Southwestern Advantage. My current jobwould be impossible without my computer technology skills. I learned that not everyone from othercollegiate backgrounds was as lucky as I was in this regard, so I’m pretty happy on this score.” Rising Scholar Gamma

In the U.S., the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)General Criterion 5.d. requires a culminating major engineering design experience that 1)incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on theknowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work (ABET). Capstone courses and projects arewell-suited to providing such an experience. Consequently, capstones have become a de factorequirement in engineering education [16].In a series of national surveys and international counterparts, the longitudinal state ofengineering capstone design education over the past three decades has been assessed
