% of employers complain that candidates are lacking in motivation, communicationskills, punctuality, and flexibility. Hence, it is important to investigate techniques that will improvefactors such as quality and timeliness, thereby providing a more holistic academic experience toSTEM students. Furthermore, there is an acute need to develop professional skills such as writing,communication, punctuality, and curiosity. It is important to consider every opportunity to develop professional skills by introducing appro-priate interventions in every course. This will reinforce the development of these skills throughoutthe undergraduate years (Rao et al., 2019). Three major forces are shaping higher education in the U.S. These consist of the rising

and international competitions including the Shell Eco-Marathon, Baja Buggy, Solar car,Solar Decathlon, Invent for the Planet, Aggies Invent, ASME E-fest, etc. Some students participatein these activities independently from any course commitment and credits; however, others partici-pate in these projects as part of some credit earning courses, which pushes these extra-curricularactivities into the second category. Therefore, the learning benefits to students are also very similar. The fourth category represents national and multi-national project-based learning activities suchas the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) at Purdue University (Coyle et al., 2005;Ruth et al., 2019), the Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC), and the

between elements of the program that show growth (orotherwise) with time, and those that are consistent throughout the program. Eight questions (Q1–Q8) and median ranked responses are presented (Figure 4 and Table 3) inthe order that they appeared in weekly surveys. Weekly trend analyses are notably different ­between Figure 4. Weekly Survey Results. KTRL lines plotted for 2017 (marked with circles) and 2019 (marked with Xs). See Table 3 (below), for accompanying KTRL line equations and their respective Kendall’s Tau correlation coefficients.SUMMER 2020 VOLUME 8 ISSUE 2 15 ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
