The current enrollment stands at 36 students. Notably, the acceptance rate for thepast two recruitment cycles has been below 25%, demonstrating the competitive nature of theprogram. Additionally, the program boasts a student retention rate of over 90% year-on-year,reflecting the value students place on their experience within the program.2.2 Student-Led Recruitment ProcessA unique aspect of the E2E program is its student

Imagine the challenge of separating those materials again, as part of recycling? Consider all the people around the globe who have these same devices or would like to have them. Do you now think differently about these “clean” energy systems? • Emerging, full battery electric vehicles (BEVs) employ 60 – 70 kWh battery packs

Those who took the time to reflect on their own personal experiences came upwith elaborate complex examples that also demonstrated their own funds of knowledge. Anexample of this is a student who liked to work on cars, noticed that his 1985 Trans Am car includeda digital barometric gage to automatically adjust the fuel-air ratio intake to the carburetor. He wroteabout how the gage reads absolute pressure and reduces the amount of fuel at higher elevationswhere the air density (and pressure) is lower.

As stated above, students may have as few as twoor as many as four additional courses that the authors do not have data for, and it is certain thatsome out-of-class time is being spent preparing for these courses too.

crucial role in the sustainability of UIC. If either party is dissatisfiedwith the results of the collaboration, it can diminish their enthusiasm and potentially lead tothe termination of the partnership. In teaching-focused UIC, a key output is whethergraduates meet the needs of enterprises. This importance was highlighted in one of the interviews: “The lack of motivation among enterprises stems from the fact that the talent trained by universities or their research outcomes often fail to meet industry needs. To address this issue at its root,we need to reflect on whether there is any misalignment in the objectives of talent training in universities, especially for engineering degrees. If we train students well and ensure
