Requiring students to take several such courses may impact their abilityto take courses from other disciplines which may be beneficial to them in achieving theirpersonal career goals. Therefore, it is important for engineering programs to consider the resultsthey are intending to achieve by requiring students to take technical electives, how these coursesmay be impacting the overall education of the students, and what is an appropriate number oftechnical elective courses to require. It can be noted that ABET

over the past three years. Most of thesestudies investigated opportunities of how these new tools support students’ learning, from first-year students [5-7] to senior capstone design [8-10]. Some explored ways to enhance writing[11, 12] and other critical skills [13-15]. Many examined potential ethical issues and urged thatcaution must be applied while adopting AI into instruction [7, 16 – 19]. However, few of theseefforts really encouraged or engaged students to prepare themselves for their careers [20-22],although the expectations and requirements for future engineers from the workplace havealready been significantly reformed [23, 24].Contrary to popular belief, college students do not necessarily show the expected sensitivity tonew tools

does not do enough to prepare students for their careers. Sorby expresses thisgoal of engineering education as follows: “It is time that we as educators take a long, critical look at ourvalues and curricula to ensure that we are preparing students for careers that exist today and for futurecareers” [2]. Sorby is aligned with many who believe that less emphasis on theory and more emphasis onspecific tools and problem-solving strategies would be more beneficial for career readiness.The Grinter Report should be commended for its willingness to ask difficult questions of itsrecommendations including the question of career readiness. When considering the broad curriculum itrecommends, the authors ask themselves: “would the employer be pleased with

We seek to investigate what factors guide their choice,including their prior knowledge and/or opinions about the differences and similarities betweenengineering and the physical sciences. Eventually, we aim to help to answer the larger question:How can post-secondary education systems (and even K-12 systems) better advise studentsinterested in engineering or the physical sciences to choose the academic and professional pathsthat align well with their values

Though ineffective teachers were undesirable, successful studentsknew how to learn for themselves by reading the textbook, by notetaking from both book andlecture, by practice on homework and projects, and by mutual sharpening through work withother students. Their undergraduate professors provided the “intervention of a single coherentand personal authority to direct the [student’s] will at its beginning … for it to be self-directingafterword” [10].

political systems value it positively for aligning these values with economic development based onproductivity and efficiency. Accordingly, it has caused high technological development but also a cultureof disengagement where engineers self-consider aliens to the socio-political context (Cech, 2013). On the contrary, arts, humanities, and social sciences have been charged with the stereotype ofbeing costly and inefficient, and their aims are usually not seen as clear or valuable. This phenomenon isusually evidenced in nations that value economic progress or link it to social development, which havefocused on solving society’s problems through mostly engineering-related projects, developing strongengineering career paths, and overlooking
