professional skills acquired from education and needed inthe workplace [7]. In this context, professional skills are defined as “skills essential to thrive in awork setting but not historically included in engineering or engineering technology coursework.”The nine professional skills surveyed were: communication skills, emotional intelligence,teamwork and multidisciplinary work, curiosity and a persistent desire for continuous learning,project management, critical thinking, self-drive and motivation, cultural awareness in a broadsense, high ethical standards, integrity, and global, social, intellectual and technologicalresponsibility. Results showed that nearly 59 percent of respondents felt unprepared inmanagement and business skills, 60 percent in

with industry, providing students with hands-onexperience in this specialized field, but not in an international environment [4], [9], [21] .This study focuses specifically on a subset of the 2023 IRiKA cohort, examining how theirinvolvement in microelectronics research abroad contributed to developing their globalengineering competencies. This study seeks to explore the intricate processes through which globalcompetencies are developed among engineering students at both undergraduate and graduate levelswho possess varying levels of research experience in microelectronics. Through the lens of threeresearch questions, the study examines the influence of the International Research Initiative inKnowledge and Academia (IRiKA) on the global
