Overall, 37% of the participants belonged to the CD category, and 63% to the UIcategory.Participants presented a range of experiences in training doctoral students (see Fig. 1), rangingfrom 2 years to over 40 years. A majority of them fell within the category of 10-20 years ofmentoring experience (53%), followed by 35% with less than 10 years of experience.Additionally, 12% of participants possessed over 20 years of experience. This diversedistribution depicts a long-established doctoral training environment in the institution.4.2.

Notably, this practice could have been implemented moreeffectively and consistently throughout the semester. For future study, integrating only onepractice per semester would make learning gains associated with the practice more obvious, butmore importantly, asking students to comment specifically on each practice would improve thebreadth of feedback and perspectives.References[1] S.

Such skills are essential to have a competitive edge as a future engineeringprofessional, innovate and co-create value with technology, in a work landscape driven by AI andautomation. We discuss how three courses in the future of work, industrial innovation sciences,future work leadership and work systems management, and entrepreneurship cultivate such skills.Given the pace and scope of technology development, there is a need for future research toexplore how curricula and pedagogy development could be made agile in response to changingwork needs.References[1] K.

Henoted that he “really like[s] knowledge”, yet one can argue from the larger corpus of data that heis primarily interested in knowledge that leads to action.While Malik’s leadership aptitude was brought with him to the internship, the internshipcertainly foregrounded this dimension to his personality. On one occasion, I was talking withMalik and one other participant in the course of reviewing project progress. Malik referred to theother student as a “nerd”. At that point, I chose to ask Malik whether he himself identified as
improve things can be invaluable training todemonstrate to students that: 1. The solution(s) presented are not the only possible solutions. 2. Ethically better solutions are possible, and, can be outlined by professionals-in-training such as themselves. 3. In some cases, the ethically poorer solutions are also technically less challenging and it is kind of fun to develop the more challenging solution. The above are starkly apparent in the case of the case study involving voice assistant devices suchas Alexa and the choice to stream data back to a central location. In fact, students reach the conclusionthat not only is constantly streaming data back to a central location unnecessary to meet theapplication needs but also may be a
