of our industrial partners, we used the following threecriteria to narrow our selection of professional skills targeted in the online course. Professionalskills should be: • Valued by a broad spectrum of employers4 of our graduates • Essential for assimilating an engineering student into an industrial environment • Practical to be immediately effective on the jobFor our circumstances, ten professional development goals were established for an engineeringstudent to acquire during one semester-long (16 weeks) term of an industrial coop or internship: 1. Commit to personal and process safety. 2. Understand ethical and professional responsibilities (e.g., confidentiality, intellectual property, safety, punctuality, attitude
