The integration of multiple viewpoints and thesynergy of collective creativity are essential components that significantly enhance theeffectiveness of Design Thinking (IDEO, 2012). Design thinking continues to evolve with thewidely accepted approach, which follows the order of empathize, define, ideate, prototype, andtest. This process is cyclic and continues until an efficient solution is achieved. Jain (2015) positedthat advocates for

In this year-long experience,students build upon their prior curriculum and engage in real-world open-ended projects todevelop important engineering skills. This experience culminates with an annual in-person eventcalled Bioengineering Day (BE-Day), in which senior students present posters on their designwork. Students have the unique opportunity to interact one-on-one with multiple industrialprofessionals, discussing their senior design at BE-Day. Industrial representatives also providefeedback on students’ professional and design skills for formative assessment of the degree towhich the students developed these competencies. In this work, we

Progress Paper to further illustrate theimportance of communication as a professional skill.Shuman and colleagues [3] looked at professional skills as outlined in ABET Criterion 3 in 2005,and separated them into two different types, process and awareness skills. Process skills weredefined as skills that could be taught via a process and easily assessed [3]. Awareness skills areskills that students should be aware of and considered when solving a problem. The requirementsfor communication, 'an ability to communicate effectively,' [3, pp. 41] was classified as a processskill because communication can be taught systematically and integrated within an engineeringeducation curriculum. Since 2005, ABET Criterion 3 requirements have changed from

However, SCCT also emphasizes the role of contextual andexperiential factors, such as institutional support or barriers, in shaping these core variables. Byintegrating these factors, this theory is a particularly valuable comprehensive lens for identifyingfactors of professional socialization mechanisms that affect engineers’ job satisfaction and careerpersistence in engineering.
