The clinic of law ormedicine is sometimes practiced as a capstone educational experience in fields of engineering.Having engineering students work together on a project is becoming a prominent pedagogicalapproach in upper-level engineering undergraduate courses and graduate courses. This directlysupports the professional practice and professional formation for many fields of engineering andaddresses many ABET student learning outcomes.A multiple case-study approach was used to apply and illustrate a “product”-based learningframework

We used a national cohort that included multipleengineering disciplines (biomedical, mechanical, chemical, electrical, computer, aerospace),types of formal design projects (e.g., first-year, design-spine, senior capstone) and institutiontypes, including private religious; Hispanic-serving; public land-grant; and research flagshipinstitutions (N=449).

Also, engaging students in guidedreflection helped them to reflect on the intercultural skills that they developed through constantinteraction with peers that requires efficient communication among the team members.

However, the definition does insist on hands-on activities, so it isdesigned to exclude activities that are purely computer-based.Other works have other implicit definitions of laboratory activities. Some works center the ideaof constructivism in discussing laboratories, and argue that a laboratory activity is one thatprovides rich information for constructing knowledge [11]. Others simply lament the lack ofspecificity in defining laboratory activities [12].Consequently, categorizing laboratory activities or describing universal features of laboratoryactivities is a challenge.

This is shown in the second selected response, where the student understandsthat the tests they have conducted are applicable in their future career, but shows uncertainty as tospecific applications in research and industry. This conclusion is also supported by Figure 1,which shows that students want more links to industry in their laboratories.However, it should be noted that these students have not undertaken the internship experience thattypically occurs in the surveyed program between their third and fourth years of study, or the finalyear capstone project that has numerous opportunities for students to partner with industry and

. IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10]. Engagement in these skills, which we collectively call “comprehensive engineeringknowledge and skills”, are

There is wide awareness that the engineering profession has a role to play inaddressing global socio-technical problems such as climate change and digital misinformation[1]. At the same time, rapid technological change and other shifts in the labour system mean thatengineers’ workplace responsibilities and career paths are prone to uncertainty and precarity [2].As will be discussed, lifelong learning competencies can enable individuals to navigate thesechanges and challenges in their individual career trajectories and to make innovativetechnological contributions.
