examined the workplace transitionexperiences of undergraduate queer engineering students and revealed a notable gap in the literatureconcerning transition experiences of these students. To address this gap, we have developed a new researchagenda that specifically investigates the school-to-work transition (STW) of undergraduate engineeringstudents. The aim of this project is to analyze and map the existing literature on this topic through a scopingreview (ScLR). A scoping review is a type of literature review designed to systematically explore and map thebreadth of available evidence on a specific topic (Samnani et al., 2017). It identifies key concepts, researchgaps, and the variety of study designs within a field (Grant & Booth, 2009). For

These plans can include evaluating students’ ethical decision-making skills throughcase analyses, role-playing exercises, and capstone projects. Regular feedback from alumni andindustry stakeholders can help assess the relevance and impact of the ethics curriculum. Periodicprogram reviews will ensure that ethics education remains up to date with evolving industrytrends and emerging ethical challenges, such as those related to technology, globalization, anddiversity.By implementing these strategies, CEM programs can produce graduates who are not onlytechnically competent but also equipped with the ethical judgment necessary to make responsibledecisions
