in the taught programs, which could be adapted tovarious working environments. Thus, the need for assessment of taught skills and the ability ofthe learner to translate them becomes an inevitable component of teaching-learning assessments[5].Various studies have highlighted the increasing importance of transferable skills in civilengineering education and their impact on the success of graduates in meeting industry demands[4,6,7]. Some of the widely recognized transferable skills are communication, teamwork,problem-solving, critical thinking, leadership skills, ethics, and adaptability [4,8]. Thecurriculum models used for the development of transferable skills are embedding, bolting-on,and integrating. In the “embedding” strategy, the
leaders expressed strong concerns about encouraging their students to applyfor the BOAST program without knowing ahead of time what participation would mean forstudents in terms of time and effort commitment; therefore, randomization of schools withapplicants was decided to be ethically questionable. As a result, analysis to create like-school-pairs was performed to approximate random assignment to reduce the potential for unobservedvariable bias. Of particular concern were differences between treatment and control groups instudent interest in STEM; thus, the opportunity was similarly advertised at schools in bothconditions as a set of STEM-focused activities occurring outside regular school hours. It isunknown the extent to which student
private and business positions require a range of skillsand knowledge including leadership, communication, and teamwork [9] as well as an in-depthunderstanding of business, social, and ethical contexts [10]. The PAtENT model responds tothese challenges through a curriculum focused on building these skills and providing suchconnections throughout the academic experience of the doctoral student and not as an add on to atraditional program. The program was implemented at one university with the intent that thismodel was adaptable to other institutions.The PAtENT model applies a student-centric approach to focus the educational emphasis towardthe development of entrepreneurial skills necessary to engage in the modern and rapidlychanging technical

research instrumentThis study aimed to gain insight into the factors influencing students' decisions to pursuegraduate studies in engineering. We conducted a survey in the Faculty of Engineering at aresearch-based university in Ontario, Canada. The survey sought correlations between students'intersectional identity factors and family background, their perceptions of the Faculty ofEngineering’s resources and support systems, their lived experiences of discrimination,inclusion, equity, and equality, and their decisions to (re)consider graduate degrees. The surveywas created and administered through REDCap, a secure online platform designed for creatingand managing databases and surveys on the web. Ethics approval had been sought from andgranted by

Their overall improvement inEOP learning objectives was seen across the curriculum, each bar showing a percentage of increasedperception of knowledge in different topic areas (Fig.5). EOP topics such as design thinking related tominimizing environmental and social impact, recognizing local and indigenous practices and use of locallysourced materials was improved by 75% and 38% for first-years and sophomores, respectively.

affective domainwas published in 1964 and focused on students’ attitudes, values, and interests, and how thoseare developed through teaching and learning methods [6]. In the engineering contextspecifically, the affective domain frequently focuses on collaboration, confidence, curiosity,persistence, motivation, and professional ethics [7] [8]. Wilson, in their essay in [4, p. 57], refersto affective outcomes as the “great mediators of engagement”, and argues specifically thatstudents’ sense of belonging and feelings of academic fulfillment can lead to improved academicperformance. Improvements to student affect in the classroom can quickly erode whentransitioning to new environments, like the workplace: “the road of affect is continually in needof
