After several exchanges,both of them decided on the topics and came up with some prompts pertaining to the topic ofinterest, IWoC’s transition experiences building on the transition theory [6]. Also, all the authorsmet on Zoom collectively twice. Author 1 and author 2 discussed the findings and theirnarratives multiple times. We made sure to maintain the trustworthiness of our research bycapturing the thorough narratives of each researcher. We also ensured the member check-inprocess.The overarching prompt for this autoethnographic exploration includes, “How do you

the major engineering curricula and there is some anecdotal support to grow more.As the demand for more engineers and more EC courses grows, cloning and scaling well-prepared and relevant EC courses are ways to meet the impending demand.This paper provides guidance for EC teaching priorities, learning activities, and industry-informed projects. Whether an engineering program opts to build a stand-alone course or embedengineering-focused communication content and skills in an existing course, instructors andprogram directors are well positioned to shift EC pedagogy, practice, and assessment towardcontent that matches future work styles, career trajectories, and agile work teams.References[1] V.

engineering students identify as influences on their decisions of where to study abroad?Theoretical FrameworkMazzarol and Soutar [8] designed their push-pull model of study abroad choice to characterizewhy students make the decisions they do when it comes to enrolling abroad as an internationalstudent. The pull factors make a destination attractive to a student, which is influenced by thehost country, sending country, and the student themself [8]. The initial definition of thisframework came from a survey of over 2,000 international students in the 1990’s to learn howdifferent factors were weighed in their decisions to enroll abroad. They examined each step ofthe process; from deciding to study overseas, to personal and financial costs, to

these outcomes is described in more detailbelow.Attachment Leading to EmploymentOne of the main goals of completing an industrial attachment is that the student gains workplaceexperience and can obtain employment upon completion of their education. Most students docomplete an attachment: we found that 11 out of the 21 current students had already completed ashort attachment. Meanwhile, 14 of the students had plans for where they will be working forduring their upcoming long attachment. Of these students, about half found their attachmentsthrough personal connections while the other half received help from Tumaini staff, asexemplified by this student: When I am here in school, our teacher provide[s] for us where we are going for
