Surely the focus continuesto include the traditional solidly rooted STEMskills, but also includes professionaldevelopment skills such as: communication,teamwork, global and ethical awareness, andskills for life-long learning.12 In addition tolearning the foundations of design, helping futureengineers master such professional skills as teamwork

granting Associate's degrees. 40 Also since 1990, many 4-year collegesadded ET graduate degrees (Masters’ & Ph. D). So while ET upper-class markets were alreadysmall (3-6,000 per course) & dropped even lower after 1985; it was less than in 2-year programs.Thus fewer majors per program were partly offset by an increase in the number of programs. 41Textbook publishers overlooked this steady increase in the number of accredited ET programs!The author attributes this to the fifth & final "big event" that limited ET text choice: reducedcompetition due to consolidation/ merging of educational publishers (College & K-12), startingaround 1980 & continuing for the 30+ years since. The mergers came in response to the “third/fourth events
Page 23.1172.11IEA’s “Graduate Attributes and Professional Competencies” is both scholarly and masterful inhow it addresses a very complex topic. As such, the authors have attached the entire 15-pagedocument as an appendix to this paper. Of particular interest to the reader should be the table inSection 6 – “Professional Competency Profiles.” The yellow highlights were added by thispaper’s authors.ABET, Inc.ABET was founded in 1932 as the Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD), anengineering professional body dedicated to the education, accreditation, regulation, andprofessional development of the engineering professionals and students in the United States. In1936, ECPD evaluated its first engineering degree programs. Ten years

The varyingthicknesses and different climate regions provide a wide scope of results for increasing thermalmass and illustrate various design considerations. Further research could include multiple bayswith a multi-story building. The student research was conducted over two semesters as part oftheir requirements for a Master of Science degree in Architectural Engineering. The majorprofessor and committee members met with the student weekly to provide feedback on theongoing research. Early on, the meetings consisted of finding a topic and defining report goalsand schedule. Later meetings focused on reviewing analysis, interpreting results, and developinga report. Within
communication through visual information sharing,the rise of manipulated images, data, and videos in social and creative spaces highlights the needfor engineers to master both the ethical generation and interpretation of multivariate visualinformation. Furthermore, failures in visual, statistical, and graphical thinking can result indistorted data, flawed scientific conclusions, and poor engineering decisions [16]. Moreover, ourreliance on digital technology risks oversimplifying complex realities, further hindering thedevelopment of visual thinking skills. Therefore, it is essential for engineering students tounderstand not only the processes of visual perception and thinking but also how engineeredsystems can be used to distort causal relationships

Alex practiced as a structural engineer before transitioning to teach at his Alma Mater where he received his Bachelor of Architectural Engineering (BAE) and Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MS) degrees. In practice Alex specialized in structural steel connection design and brings his experience into the classroom
problem-solving processfor students, especially in core courses. Recently, Tsai et al. [17] employed ChatGPT to allowstudents with limited programming experience to develop their own computational modelstowards solving problems, such as modeling a steam power plant and calculating its efficiency.Kong et al. [18] demonstrated how ChatGPT can be used to assist in the design of distillationcolumns in an interactive learning environment. ChatGPT and other Large Language Models arealso being explored for use as virtual tutors for specific technical practices, such as trainingstudents in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) at the masters level [19]. As far as the authorsare aware, no applications of generative AI have been published for courses earlier
support an engineering conceptdevelopment from cradle to grave. For SE students, that full life cycle planning and designhappens in their capstone course. The Systems Engineering Capstone class is usually taught asthe last course for any Master of Systems Engineering program. Within the class, students pursuea team project where they apply systems engineering methods to a specific problem. They thencreate the final deliverable with a systems engineering management plan. While students receivestrong technical training within this experience, ethical and justice-oriented skillsets andmindsets are lacking if not non-existent. For example, decolonization strategies – the ability tocritically examine systems and power differentials through systems

Mastery GradingHow can grading be oriented towards recognizing students’ own unique sets of assets andchallenges, while also still encouraging and rewarding their growth? Mastery grading notablydiffers from other grading systems in that grading requires tracking each student’s progresstowards achieving mastery in a number of areas, whether skill- or content-oriented [152],[166]–[168]. In this schema, instructors determine the areas where students are expected to attainmastery, i.e. competencies, and create a series of assessments where students have theopportunity to prove they have mastered one or more areas. Generally assessments may also bedesigned to allow students to continue to retry the same assessment until they can perform at
