social reasons that technological solutions are not alwaysimplemented, despite the best intentions and technical knowledge. Students practicedresearching a topic, selecting and evaluating resources, proper citation of works used, written andoral communication, and advancing a position in a professional manner. These skills, whilecrucial for practicing engineers, are often relatively weak in incoming students.Our initial success integrating international perspectives and traditional liberal arts concepts intoa first-year engineering course was supported by several classroom innovations, including aclassroom-embedded librarian and gamification.Benefits of this activity in the first-year classroom include: - Getting students to interact

Particularly in the modern context, where technological advancement hassignificantly altered the world of work and will continue to do so [1], all students, includingengineering students, need to be equipped to define their careers in this rapidly changingenvironment. Engineering, which is perceived as an established profession and defined field,does not seem to instinctively warrant career development support since students may appearcareer-decided. However, although engineering students have selected a profession, and themajority of engineering graduates work in a related sector upon
