students were referring to was not clear it was kept as a separate code under communication ratherthan coded as interpersonal or written communication. Also, students would occasionally include the termprofessional or “soft” skills to refer to all of the skills. These instances were coded as “General.”FindingsParticipants contributed a myriad of professional skills to each activity system category. The objectivecategory contained the most skills at 18, followed by work division (14), team members (11), tools (10),rules (9), and community (6) as shown in Table I. The numbers in the table represent the number ofdiagrams where students had written the skill in connection with a specific activity system category. Thenumbers are only used to represent

further improve teamwork efficacy. Policies shouldalso focus on developing interdisciplinary teams and soft skills. Encouraging engagement withURP alumni as well as the industry can provide current participants with networkingopportunities, career advice, and insights into the long-term benefits of URPs. Finally, researchcan be demanding, therefore, providing mental health support and stress management resourcesfor students participating in URPs can help students maintain a healthy work-life balance.Keywords: undergraduate research, teamwork, collaborative learning, group developmenttheory, engineering education, URP, research program, NSF, REU, Tuckman1.

research skills but also soft skills likecommunication, teamwork, and time management. The combination of practical research andtheoretical learning prepares students for future academic and professional pursuits.3. Educational SeminarsEach seminar is carefully structured to cover key aspects of research that are vital for anyaspiring researcher. These sessions delve into a range of topics, each chosen for its relevance andimportance in the field of research. The seminars begin with an introduction to the ResponsibleConduct of Research Training, a crucial topic that lays the foundation for ethical researchpractices. This training encompasses various aspects of research ethics, including datamanagement, conflict of interest, collaborative research

Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) stresses the significance of incorporating criticalthinking instruction, along with other general engineering expertise (e.g., soft skills) inengineering curriculum through their published student outcomes (Claris and Riley, Email: mshokrolahshirazi@marian.edu2012). Since the connection between CT and problem-solving in engineering is a recurringtheme in the literature, teaching and learning critical thinking should equip differentlevels of problems with varied features that involve appropriate hypotheses, methodsfor experiments, and structuring open design problems (Ahern, Dominguez, McNally,O’Sullivan, and Pedrosa, 2019). On the other hand, the challenging level of the problems is another key

. Historically, amajor deterrent for women considering STEM has been lower levels of math self-assessment [8],though recent studies suggest that this is becoming less important for persistence [12], [13]. Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29]. This shift suggests a need to explore how students perceive thefield of ML/AI and highlights the importance of studying other factors contributing to persistence.Professional role confidence, comprised of expertise confidence and career-fit confidence, is thedegree to which a person feels confident in their competence

the engineering program structure could be filled with theuse of DT and that the present curriculum drove students to think in a ‘Just-in-Case’ manner– where students learned things in case they were going to be tested on them. With their DTapproach, specific content about the learning outcomes could be made accessible to students.This study found that it is pertinent for students to learn the necessary soft skills from ayoung age to get multiple opportunities to apply them during their engineering course [49].Moreover, there was great emphasis on the times and methods in which students’ learnerscomprehend the relevance of the content they are taught [49]. This can be compared to theresults of this study using EDIPT in an Asian context. As
