development topics into the ECEcurriculum. We present the results of a one-week module for graduate students that linksdisciplinary and intrapersonal knowledge through a design thinking framework. We present acontent analysis and descriptive statistics from two surveys distributed to students from Fall2024 about their experiences with the module. These surveys asked students about theirexperiences with the module, their engineering identity and belongingness, and their beliefsabout their future careers. A major takeaway from this analysis was the saliency studentsexperienced around the topics of ambiguity, failure, and risk in the context of thinking abouttheir future careers. Finally, we offer recommendations for other ECE educators interested

its impacts on society, community engagement and experiential learning, and universal design. • Elements of professional formation such as ethical and social critical thinking, mentorship, teamwork and conflict resolution, sustainable design, injustice and inequity in access to energy, professional continual learning and professional identity, community- engaged learning, and social responsibility.This paper provides an overview of the modules, assessment results from the pilotimplementation, and our observations throughout the process. A combination of direct andindirect assessments is used to evaluate both student learning outcomes and students’ sentimentsregarding the holistic educational experience.BackgroundAs
professional skills acquired from education and needed inthe workplace [7]. In this context, professional skills are defined as “skills essential to thrive in awork setting but not historically included in engineering or engineering technology coursework.”The nine professional skills surveyed were: communication skills, emotional intelligence,teamwork and multidisciplinary work, curiosity and a persistent desire for continuous learning,project management, critical thinking, self-drive and motivation, cultural awareness in a broadsense, high ethical standards, integrity, and global, social, intellectual and technologicalresponsibility. Results showed that nearly 59 percent of respondents felt unprepared inmanagement and business skills, 60 percent in

This study seeks to explore the intricate processes through which globalcompetencies are developed among engineering students at both undergraduate and graduate levelswho possess varying levels of research experience in microelectronics. Through the lens of threeresearch questions, the study examines the influence of the International Research Initiative inKnowledge and Academia (IRiKA) on the global

engineering to real-world problems. While similar models ofreal-world engagement (e.g., EPICS) exist, they are either limited to a specific category ofstakeholders, such as industry or community, or a particular program, such as capstonedesign. The TRUE projects allow learners across the four-year engineering curriculum toparticipate while holistically building the skills required for the projects via specializedcourses, outreach programs, and mentorship.Implementation of the TRUE initiative over the past seven years provides an opportunity toqualitatively understand the development of students' engineering self-efficacy as a result oftheir participation. Self-efficacy measures students' beliefs in their ability to achieve tasks [2].In this study, it

Students arenot required to take each PFE course consecutively. The same instructor teaches all threecourses, ensuring that the courses follow a logical progression of skill development. Courseenrollment is increasing each semester, as students now entering as freshmen have the courses asrequirements for graduation. Objectives for each
