been shown to help students prepare for further studiesand jobs. There are many forms of undergraduate research experiences, but a common method is for astudent to work closely with a teacher in research. Students often find these hands-on experiences veryuseful and learn to work in teams, manage projects, and communication skills. In the scope of thiswork-in-progress study, our program, originally rooted in engineering, now draws one-quarter of itsstudents from departments outside the College of Engineering. The program objective is to offer studentsearly in their programs hands-on project experiences and enhance their collaboration skills across diversedisciplines and projects.

What are industry members’ views on the role of international accreditation for the enhancement of engineering programs?Conceptual FrameworkTo inform the study, we chose the conceptual framework proposed by Volkwein et al.

IntroductionAddressing "Sustainability" is an overarching challenge for the 21st century, requiring engineersto play a critical role. In the US, undergraduate degree programs that directly attend tosustainability are of two types: (1) interdisciplinary programs that do not grant engineering degreesand (2) environmental engineering programs that are vital but do not entirely address the holisticnotion of sustainability. However, based on our reading of "Strengthening

Classsizes ranged from 10 – 60 students and included first, second, third, and fourth-year students. Allcourses were previously taught in-person with traditional lectures, homework, exams, quizzes,team projects, and active learning exercises. Five of the classes included labs and 10 of the 12classes traditionally had closed-book, closed-notes quizzes and exams. After the switch to onlinelearning, all 12 of the classes used a blend of synchronous and asynchronous lectures, videos,and office hours using Zoom, and just two classes remained in a closed-book and/or closed-notesformat for quizzes and exams.CE1412

Some cross-disciplinary areas withparticular demand, now and for the future, are found at the intersection between engineering andthe life sciences. Engineers increasingly need competencies in life science areas that intersectwith their engineering disciplines. Engineers also must meet high-tech industry requirements ofworking cross-culturally, communicating effectively with all teams across the enterprise, andeffectively using time and project management skills. For STEM-specific roles, young engineersare required to have data science understanding, statistics knowledge, and computationalcapability especially if working with big data. In response
