The METM program curriculum offers courses that focus on Project Management,Strategic Planning and Management, Financial Resource Management, etc., that are included inthe Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK)[3]. At the conclusion of theMETM program, students must research, design, and showcase a real-world project that requirescomprehensive application of the knowledge they have learned throughout the program, in orderto bring significant impact to the stakeholders of their chosen organizations. The Capstone course spans over two semesters, Fall (Capstone I) and Spring (CapstoneII); it was first offered in 2019, and in 2023, the fifth student cohort started their

For example, the courses provide opportunities forstudents to engage with local companies, encouraging connections and facilitating visits to theirpremises for face-to-face interaction with employers. Additionally, research lab visits areplanned for students to gain insight into the academic side and provide potential opportunities forthem to participate as undergraduate research students.The Qualification Plan (QP; a key activity and assignment) in PFE courses is integral

However, some students do not appropriately participate in courseprojects, making teamwork more challenging than it needs to be for others. As a result, manystudents fail to develop teamwork skills, and some become frustrated with course projects. Thisstudy adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to develop tools

Additionally, correlational analysesdemonstrated that these seven factors were related to each other positively. This means that ifstudents are confident about one entrepreneurial-related skill described in this instrument, theyare likely to feel confident about other entrepreneurial-related skills described in the instrument.Further and interestingly, students with a growth creative mindset tended to have high self-efficacy for product ideation, team formation, and people

-regulation in action (SRA) or strategicaction (SA), is the basis of self-regulated learning (SRL). SRC is comprised of iterative andrecursive cycles of interpreting requirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies),implementing cognitive processes, monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal andexternal standards, and continually refining approaches to better achieve goals (see Figure 1)[16]. This iterative process continues until a problem is solved or the student abandons the goal.As students manage their activities in tasks, they engage in iterative cycles of strategic activity,including actively interpreting requirements (i.e., interpreting task), developing a plan of action(i.e., planning), acting on a developed plan, and

Furthermore, feedback is notjust limited to academic or technical aspects; it also encompasses guidance on professionaldevelopment and career planning, significantly influencing students' future paths [15]. Thequality and frequency of feedback are key factors in the success of undergraduate researchexperiences, impacting students' confidence, motivation, and overall learning outcomes [16].Current feedback methods in URPs often involve informal discussions, written comments onwork, and periodic evaluations.

Each of these codes are represented as a node in the network, and edges betweennodes represent the strength of an individual or community’s connection between those twocodes.

The study analyses reflection journals from14 third-year material science and engineering students using a qualitative, inductive approach.Results identify four key aspects of problem scoping: (a) gathering information about clients,problem context, and the designers themselves; (b) setting goals based on gathered data; (c)developing solutions using divergent, convergent, and logical thinking; and (d) evaluating andmanaging design outcomes by reflecting on solutions by envisioning outcomes or creatingbackup plans. Both male and female students show similar approaches. Findings contribute tounderstanding students’ problem-scoping processes and highlight opportunities for futureresearch into engineering design education.Keywords
