We implemented growth mindset intervention strategies in theMass and Energy Balances (MEB) course, which is offered twice in an academic year in theChemical and Biomolecular Engineering department at Johns Hopkins University. The controlgroup consisted of students from the Fall semester and the intervention group included studentsfrom the Spring semester. We previously reported our preliminary observations from the controlgroup in Fall 2022 [2]. In this paper, we revisited the interventions and the study methods as wellas focused on the comparison of the

changes we must make to address these barriers.Guided by the the k2i academy Inclusive Design Framework (Reference Figure 1) (Cole,Goodyer, & Ironside, 2022), the Bringing STEM to Life: Work-Integrated Learning programwas designed to integrate inclusive approaches to both programmatic and operational designthat supports high school students who have opted out of STEM pathways. Over the past fouryears, this program has evolved over 5 iterations to the current model. The program wasintentionally designed to address critical system barriers to access and enable students whohave otherwise opted out of STEM career pathways to reconnect into future possibilities.This paper seeks to provide an overview of the design of the program and explore the

competenciesessential for success in modern engineering careers.LITERATURE SUPPORTAn aspect of undergraduate student development currently lacking in sufficient instruction andacademic attention is soft skills (Hirudayaraj et al., 2021). The soft skills may be otherwise knownas essential skills, professional skills, or non-technical skills and include areas such as (non-inclusive list) communications, leadership, team operation, interpersonal operation, and problem-solving (Hirudayaraj et al., 2021; Widad et al., 2022; Fleming et al., 2024).

There have been 116 students and 44 teachers who have successfullyparticipated. The research program was conducted on campus in 2019, but due to COVID-19, theprogram was conducted online in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, the program was redesigned to behybrid, and six host sites participated. Despite the changes in the program, students' prowess wasenhanced by their teamwork and engagement in the projects. The post-program survey raisedconcerns about
