support studentdevelopment of professional competencies and engineering identity. Resources include a set ofrubrics for 12 professional competencies often associated with experiential learning (teamwork,ethics, global & cultural awareness, etc.). Structures include our new web-based learningresource platform, which we believe provides important professional and identity developmentsupport to students who engage with it. Furthermore, we believe that this approach can be doneat scale and provide meaningful support to the thousands of undergrads at our institution.Utilizing these supports and analyzing student outcomes will provide an exceptional opportunityto advance our understanding of the professional formation of engineering graduates

Generally, thestudents have enhanced their communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Moststudents indicated that the program helped them critically review problems and communicateeffectively in multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, the clients expressed satisfaction with thestudents’ work ethics and the quality of project deliverables. Thus, the program offers studentsan experiential learning opportunity to enhance their entrepreneurial and problem-solving skillswhile providing value for community partners through transdisciplinary

Ethical Reasoning Process (CAER) Workshops [40], students appliedanticipatory ethical reasoning using two of the eight key ethical questions, which are organizedby topics such as empathy, fairness, responsibility, character, outcomes, and others [41]. TheCAER approach differs from the way in which engineering students traditionally engage withtraditional professional ethics based on industry standards, honest reporting of data, cost benefittradeoffs, and analysis of case studies when standards or professional codes of practice wereviolated [39].From the above-described body of literature about work-based forms of experiential learning,self-efficacy, STIR, and anticipatory ethical reasoning, a new conceptual framework forSocioTechnical Learning

experiential activities often lead to situations known as ‘disorientingdilemmas’ [4] compelling learners to critically reflect on their preconceived notions andassumptions. This reflection results in modifications to their established meaning perspectivesand the development of new frames of reference through a transformative shift in perspectives[26].A learner’s frame of reference comprises their habits of mind, shaped by life experiences,previous education, personal interests, and social influences [27]. Cranton [28] categorized theseinto six dimensions: Philosophical (dealing with transcendental worldviews), Moral and Ethics(related to conscience and morality), Psychological (pertaining to self-concept and personalitytraits), Sociological (involving

understanding of the importance of mentoring networks andwork ethic [9]. Students were provided with on-campus faculty and staff contacts, and they weregiven access to numerous networking opportunities throughout their time in the institution. Theoverall program incorporated their pre-existing social skills and strengths, and it taught themhow to succeed through the cultivation of professional support networks. How those supportnetworks changed over time and the resilience of those students that cultivated strong networksin persisting in collegiate activities has been reported elsewhere [10], [11], but the impact ofwork place relationships on those networks has not been fully reviewed. The RS program wasdesigned to prepare the students for life-long

The learningobjectives of the course cover topics on communication, professionalism, and ethics. Studentsalso create resumes and cover letters, participate in mock interviews, and network with industryleaders from the various disciplines in civil engineering.

Students spend one day a week in meetings learninggeneral topics: user-centered engineering design, engineering ethics, project management,teamwork, technical presentations, etc. Depending on the track students select, they wouldparticipate in additional technical skill sessions to assist with their specific projects. The sessionsare designed to provide instruction in various technical topics directly related to their project orinterest.

criteria as a guide to see which outcomes students are practicing onproject teams (Bland et al., 2016; Koehn, 2006). While others investigate particular skills such asleadership and ethics that are part of ABET (Burt et al., 2011; Wolfinbarger et al., 2021).However, how project teams facilitate that development is not clear. In their literature review,Johnson and Main (2020) noted how the quality of effort, using skills in authentic environments,and peer interactions all impacted students’ development of skills and abilities in experientiallearning settings. Wolfinbarger et al. (2021) noticed how students on two engineering projectteams – with very different internal structures – measured very differently in their leadershipstages. This study

Figure 1 displays the distribution of professional skillsstudents choose for development during co-op experience. Notably, a small proportion of studentslisted ethical decision-making as a prioritized skill to develop, instead opting for critical thinkingand communication – followed by teamwork and innovation. The distribution of choices for thesecond prioritized skill was much flatter. Across these two choices, 39% of

through multi-year assessment of program SOs [25].However, for all of the papers cited above, the assessment tools were developed for the now-outmoded ABET 2000 “a through k” SOs.More recently, Ozis et al. developed SO assessment methods based on internship experiencesthat map to the modern “1-7” Criteria 3 SOs [13]. Moreover, the authors discuss the impacts thatinternships have on the perspectives and experiences of underrepresented engineering students.The authors identify mapping to six of the seven SOs. The Criteria 3 SOs are, in brief : (1)problem solving; (2) engineering design, (3) effective communication, (4) ethical responsibilities,(5) teamwork, (6) experimentation, data interpretation and engineering judgment, and (7) theability to

. You can't use the excuse that it's a technical job to deny its interpersonal attributes, because your products will always end up being used by a person. (S7)Many students have reported a heightened sense of social responsibility as engineers. Onestudent expressed that 'the training of engineers is the training of a person' (S2). They havebecome significantly more attuned to the societal aspects of engineering and the importanceof integrating social and ethical dimensions into their work. Human-centered issues, such asecology, environmental protection, and life cycle considerations, now occupy a much moreprominent place in their consciousness.Linking theory with practice.
