students for INSPIRES was important to introduce underclass students to upper-academicand professional workforce expectations.Throughout the course, students were required to integrate knowledge from previous courses toengage in engineering analysis, learn and practice elements of the engineering design process,develop and implement project plans, and practice professional skills such as working on teams,project management, and communicating technical outcomes effectively. As a pilot project, Session XXXXXstudent recruitment consisted of an initial email sent to poll students still listed as first-yearstudents during the Spring 2024 semester. From the initial email

experience of working on complex, messy problems. Project-based learningbrought project management classes into the curriculum to develop the skills necessary for smallscale project/task management while working in student teams. One and two semester capstonecourses, particularly those focused on industry problems, required students to integrate theirtechnical and project management skills to produce meaningful products and exercise theirteamwork skills. In addition, industry internships and Co-Op programs moved students out of thecampus bubble and into the workplace, at least temporarily.The steps in this evolution are credited with improving early career transition outcomes.However, industry continues to employ students who display issues

Republic of China, the talent gap in the new-generation informationtechnology industry, represented by the chip industry, is projected to reach 9.5 million by 2025 [17].InAugust 2019, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) launched the “One Student, OneChip” open-source processor chip teaching and physical practice project. The curriculum, which is basedon experiential learning and is designed around the complete chip design workflow, stresses both theoryand practice, with the goal of developing full-stack chip talents that are proficient in both chip designthinking and manufacturing.This study adopts an exploratory case study approach, using Kolb’s “Learning Cycle Theory” as thefoundational analytical framework and the “One Student

gain a unique perspective of civil engineering employer needs and trends. Onesignificant trend is that civil design and site design firms are requiring recently hired graduates tobe more proficient in computer aided drafting [10]. ABET requirements leave little room toincrease the curriculum to meet ever increasing industry demands. Employers and instructorsagree that in regard to computer aided drafting, integrating software programs with currentcurriculum lessons to allow students to not necessarily gain expertise but familiarization may bea winning strategy for all civil engineering stakeholders. However, institutions have beenstruggling with this logistical time crunch to meet changing industry demand for decades [11].On the other hand

?BackgroundProgram Context The broader project involved a partnership between a small Mid-Atlantic college and aNortheastern educational non-profit to design and execute an innovative, immersive engineeringeducation “study away” program. The focus on the pilot semester in Fall 2023 was to deliver aninnovative hands-on engineering curriculum and allow students to engage in career exploration.On the curriculum side, this was conducted through project-based learning and mastery-assessment. Students took five engineering courses during the semester including: CircuitsAnalysis, Circuits Analysis Laboratory, Statics, Calculus III, and Physics II. On the careerexploration side, the students engaged in site visits, called “career treks,” to local

In the business school, the tool isintegrated into the undergraduate curriculum, and students achieve different levels of eachcompetency through the courses they take, with some direct interaction with the tool. Lastly,public health has fully integrated the tool with a masters program, where students use the tool toexplore the pathways to different careers as they gain proficiency in various skills, and much ofwhat happens in the tool is automated through the
