The curriculum guides REPs on utilizing mentoring as a leadership developmenttool that helps navigate career advancement in their respective engineering fields. Integrated intoeach of the three courses are best-practices designed to positively influence the development of aself-directed learning mindset and building leadership capacity among REPs as future engineeringleaders.Mentors often cite the ability to increase their professional skills as personal benefits gainedthrough the mentoring process, stating that serving as mentors caused them to reflect on andsharpen their own skills, including coaching, communicating, and introspection.2 We report on ourongoing efforts to scale a novel leadership

Following this training, these students were then paired with a local railway company,collaborating with professional engineers on the exploration of robotic solutions to addressvarious maintenance challenges in modern railway operation.The practice paper analyzes students' written reflections collected during the pilot run of theIES framework in 2023/24, revealing the impact of the framework and its various learningcomponents in preparing students for industrial collaboration. The insights from this studyoffer valuable lessons that can be applied to adapt to other technology domains in upcomingcohorts.KeywordsIndustrial collaboration

a stratified random sampling technique to select one female and one male from eachteam. A total of 16 students (8 females, 8 males) were invited to respond to several open-endedquestions as part of a self-reflection assignment at the end of the course. Specifically, theparticipants were asked the question, “How has industrial collaboration impacted you in thiscourse? Please discuss how the industrial collaboration (a) influenced your perception towardsproblem-solving, (b) influenced your opinion on ethics, and (c) affected your confidence as anengineer, i.e., self-efficacy.”Data AnalysisWe employed a qualitative inductive approach to analyze the data. Using an open-codingtechnique, two coders created descriptive codes to ascertain emerging

Collegesand Employers (NACE) Career Competencies framework into engineering courses. More thanthree quarters of engineering students are seeking career advancement or career changes withengineering degrees. The integration of NACE Career Competencies helps translate ABETstudent outcomes into practicable career readiness strategies. The courses used projects andguided reflection students to practice eight career competencies: Career and Self Development,Communication, Critical Thinking, Equity and Inclusion, Leadership, Professionalism,Teamwork, and Technology. Preliminary observations from student reflections and advisinginterviews suggest students are intrinsically motivated to connect course exercises to careercompetencies. This study provides a

Shah and Gillen [4] provided a systematic overview of university-industrypartnerships in capstone projects across engineering education and suggested identifying skillswith low performance indicators and improving those with additional focus in the curriculum.Although various ways of soliciting industry feedback on senior

Without role models or career guidance, Louise experienced tensionin balancing the needs of her work and growing family. She felt pressure to decide between herfamily and work. She chose to stay home with her family and pursue part-time, flexibleengineering work; however, was unable to find a long-term position. Furthermore, she sought are-entry path into engineering for years, yet has never found a pathway back. If she could havefound a long-term, part-time engineering position she would likely

definitions of academic motivation as "the ability of the learnerto persist with the task assigned, the amount of time spent on the task, the innate curiosity tolearn, the feelings of efficacy related to an activity, or a combination of these variables" [12].Meltzer, et.al. defined student effort as a conscious attempt to achieve a particular goal throughpersistence over time [13]. The definition of effort for this study must reflect the amount of workdone in the PR Survey for their attempt to be placed at their project of preference, where asignificant amount of that should go towards describing the expected contributions for projectsuccess.

Alimitation of this study is that the community partners were not surveyed, as the relationshipbetween industry and the community organizations is mostly indirect.The student survey contained both Likert-style and free response sections. The Likert-stylesection asked the students to rate seven questions on the value of industry engagement for theirpersonal development and team success. Five of these questions map directly to the assessedcourse outcomes: accomplishing project goals, utilizing the design process, teamwork/leadership,reflection and critical thinking, and communication, and the other two addressed one issueimportant to the community organizations, the quality of the deliverable, and the

actualpractice. A key finding of a Royal Academy of Engineering study (2006) is that engineeringcourses need to show how theory is applied to real problems [18]. Students want to know howthe theory is used in actual practice. Most engineering faculty are challenged to show thatconnection because they have not practiced in industry themselves. Failure to provide a suitablelink between theory and practice is de-motivating for students as they want to know what theywill be doing when they graduate and enter the workforce as engineers.A Royal Academy of Engineering report (2007) notes, “universities and industry need to findmore effective ways of ensuring that course content reflects the real requirements of industry andenabling students to gain practical

universities and research. But despite many graduates going intoindustry, the connection between university and industry in terms of graduate expectationsremains unclear. Even with skills identified, there are some significant hurdles to changing anengineering curriculum. As technologies, businesses, and economic cultures change, so tooshould the skills engineers be taught. However, these cultural shifts can be rapid and are oftentoo fast to be reflected in curriculum updates[1]. There is also the concept of balance in thecurriculum; students do require some amount of fundamental technical knowledge to apply toreal world problems. In the example of running simulation software, to truly be able to setup,run, interpret, and validate results, one must

work in progress. This increased IAC engagement withcampus was spoken of favorably during the next advisory board meeting. Overall, the responsefrom the IAC members who participated was quite enthusiastic, and most have committed torepeating the process again.The technique is being repeated with the next set of students who started one term later. This setis a much smaller set of students, but again can help to refine the process.Going forward, the intent is to roll the assessment out to all senior design teams and then lookcloser at how this approach impacts the validity of the internal assessment. There is alsoconsideration of having students complete a follow-up reflection on the IAC feedback.References[1] M. El-Sayed and J. El-Sayed
