, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students,change their major at least once while in university [1]. However, much of the research on thistopic focuses on the ‘why’ of major changes rather than the ‘where’ [2]–[5]. Such studies employframeworks like expectancy-value theory or social cognitive career theory to explain studentrational for changing majors, often highlighting the role elements like grade point average [6],salary expectations [7], or engineering identity [8] play in the decision-making process.Just as important as knowing why students change majors, however, is knowing what majorsstudents are leaving and entering. To this end, a historic dataset was used to examineundergraduate engineering student degree program changes. The following

The goal of this study is to explore how the higher education system responds to thesechallenges and what is still needed to be done to reduce these gaps and prepare qualified graduatesready for a successful career. To examine how higher education adapts to emerging employer 1needs and implements the necessary changes in engineering education, we completed a

These additional training sets aim to: (1) encourage constant curiosity among studentsabout our changing world and anticipate the challenges of currently accepted solutions; (2) makeconnections from many resources to intersect ideas; and (3) develop product

Studentswho are integral to the research team also derive benefits from engaging in community-basedprojects. This involvement enhances their awareness of community issues, fosters communitycollaborations, and refines their research skills and methods (Dunbar et al., 2013). Despite thesebenefits, CBR also presents challenges, such as ethical dilemmas between community desireswith respect to research design and methods and outsider researchers scientific rigor (Minkler,2005). Additionally, early career researchers engaging in CBR face challenges due to competingdemands on their time and resources

Such learning experiences willensure that students develop employability skills, a lack of which could lead to graduates missingout on rewarding careers [4]. The proposed solution will

Therefore, students can alsobetter understand the job market and analyze if they will follow one career or industry basedon their experience during the undergraduate course. Because of it, this program has a highlevel of engagement since students can choose their professional path. In Brazil, there aresimilar programs called internship, research assistant, and exchange. However, theseprograms need a dedicated team for students.

The“Product and Tool Design” course is mandatory for manufacturing students only, but can be anelective for the other majors if they take its pre-requisite “Production Engineering” as anotherelective. These courses help prepare the students for careers in product design and developmentand serve as additional capstone experiences before they take their capstone course – “IntegratedEngineering Design”. The instructor who is the lead author of this paper has had multiple groupsof his students earning provisional patents in his capstone course, while he also employed art inhis Rapid Prototyping and Reverse Engineering

instructions on how to work in a team, it is important to helpthem learn more about themselves and explore their strengths and capabilities. To help them acquire thisinsight, students are given instructions to complete two tests: the Jung Personality Test and the Team RoleTest. Jung’s psychological typology was first published in 1923 [48], and since then several tests havebeen developed and used by human resources, career coaching, organizational development [49]. It hasalso been used in higher education as a basis for learning styles and also to shed the light on individualdifferences [48]. Jung’s typology is best known for the concepts of extroversion and introversion [50],and sensation -intuition and thinking-feeling. The test result is
