provide an important bridge between education and employment inengineering and providing marketable skills is a major function of the experience [1]. There isgrowing consensus around capstone projects as a potential site for teaching students professionalskills, such as problem solving and teamwork [2]. Yet there remains a gap in skills betweenemployer expectations and the graduates they hire [3], suggesting that not all capstone coursesare providing sufficient support for developing these skills. For example, [4] found limitedgrowth in professional skills in small, short-term project experiences.One potential amplifier of developing professional skills is self-efficacy. The central premisebehind self-efficacy theory is that having knowledge and

, our paper aims to offernew insights and recommendations for educators and institutions seeking to cultivate well-rounded engineers equipped with both technical expertise and a nuanced understanding of thehumanities.BackgroundEngineering education traditionally emphasizes the development of strong problem-solvingskills. This focus is reflected in the 2004 US National Academy of Engineering report, “TheEngineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century,” which links engineering withtechnology and the identity of engineers as technical problem solvers [8]. This requires engineersto break down large complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts [9]. By breakingdown complex problems into manageable parts, engineers can identify the

This feeling of belonging, often associated with inclusion,community, and well-being, was represented to varying degrees in the narratives.

Despite the maturation of the CPE field, this 50-50 structural balancehas persisted in our curriculum. This split necessitates a kind of code switching for CPEstudents between CS and EE coursework, creating challenges that lead many students toturn away from CPE. Despite a recent transition from program to department, inertia fromthe CS-EE binary persists in our curriculum and in the patchwork of policies andprocedures inherited by the former sponsoring departments.
