States. [3][4]-[5]. This is understandable, given that engineering is a globalprofession [6] and culture can affect how we learn, work, and communicate with others.There is a growing body of engineering education research that focuses onunderstanding engineering culture. Although culture is a complex phenomenon [7]-[8],understanding aspects of it, especially at the disciplinary level, is important for findingways to improve engineering education in general.Understanding how engineering students form their identity as professionals help us todevelop pedagogies that enable students to become successful professional engineerswithin their field, enhancing important soft skills such as teamwork, creativity,problem-solving, and adaptive experiences [3

Learning hasalso been shown to improve students’ confidence, school engagement, and mental health(Greenberg et al., 2017). Additionally, students tend to benefit long-term and are better preparedfor higher education, more successful in their careers, and more engaged citizens (Greenberg etal., 2017). Tumaini students appear to reap many of these benefits: they felt that they were a partof a supportive community and that they learned a lot about themselves such as how to controltheir emotions, how to be comfortable with themselves, and how to express themselves. Since itis very important that students fully complete their industrial attachments to maximize theirbenefits from the program, the fact that students possess these soft skills speaks

For the participants, integrating STEMinto the school curriculum is important because it allows the disciplines of science,technology, engineering, and mathematics to be addressed in an interdisciplinary and holisticmanner. This promotes the development of soft skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, creativity, and research, among

that an engineering practice has in relation to social, economic, cultural,health and safety issues, etc. (WA5 to WA8); and essential workplace attributes an engineermust have (WA9 to WA12).Moreover, it may be acknowledged that these attributes cannot be honed only throughtraining in the so-called hard skills. The lack of development of soft skills leaves graduateswith a deficient skillset, necessary for lifelong learning and effective communication [12],having a negative impact on their employability and their ability to contribute to widersociety. According to the authors, interpersonal skills such as ethical responsibility should beincorporated into engineer training, in order to ensure that engineers are able to continuouslyevolve, keeping

differences inperceived value between the IVE and non-IVE teams. The differences came from students fromdifferent countries as the Palestinian students perceived greater value in the experience than theirUS peers regardless of whether they were on an IVE team or not.IntroductionIt is critical that engineers not only have technical expertise, but also be able to work on diverseteams, effectively communicate with broad audiences, have a global perspective, and considerthe implications of their solutions on users and society as a whole. The importance of theseessential skills (sometimes referred to as “soft” skills) have been highlighted by the engineeringprofession. ABET, the accrediting body for engineering programs, points to these competenciesin
