: Understanding the Transition from Capstone Design to IndustryOverviewThis paper summarizes the principle findings from a multi-year, multi institution study of newgraduates’ transitions from school to work. Reports of a competency gap between school andwork for engineers abound, dating back at least to the Mann report in 1918.[1] Recent webinarsand reports from ASEE, including the Transforming Undergraduate Education in Engineering(TUEE) reports [2, 3] and the Industry 4.0 Workforce Summit [4] continue to describe both thegaps and the changes needed in undergraduate education to better prepare today’s students tobecome tomorrow’s engineers.While these and other reports often describe broad curricular changes needed to address the gap

While we do consider the support mechanisms students mayleverage to overcome obstacles, in general, these results emphasize the larger issues in existinghiring structures, and demonstrate the importance of not treating students as a monolith. Thefindings from this work are intended to inform educators about how to better prepare students tosucceed on technical interviews, and to encourage industry to reform the process to make it moreequitable.1 IntroductionBetween 2019 and 2029, demand for workers in computing occupations are expected to surge28.8% [1].

implemented Virtual Labs (VLs) for AAE 20401, AeromechanicsII, a one-credit lab course for second-year aerospace engineering students, in Fall 2018–Spring2019. Following the AAE 20401 VLs, we also implanted VLs for AAE 35201, StructuralAnalysis I, a one-credit lab course for third-year aerospace engineering students, in Spring 2019–Spring 2020. The implementation of the VLs coincided with a particular period of time: theCOVID-19 school closure and remote learning in March 2020-August 2020. Thus, this papertalks about the following two main topics: 1) the implementation of AAE 35201 VLs and 2)pedagogy change before, during, and after the COVID-19 school closure and learning. Then, asa part of the discussion, we will talk about how the COVID-19 school

Student’s feedbackThe teamwork activity was offered to students enrolled in class in 2018 and 2019 in a face-toface (f-2-f) format and in a hybrid format in fall 2020 and spring 2021. Table 1 summarizesstudents’ feedback on the effectiveness of this activity in their learning collected from class midsemester surveys. The results showed that the percentage of students who agreed or stronglyagreed about the effectiveness of the teamwork activity remained almost the same in the f-2-fmodality and slightly improved in the hybrid modality compared to the in-person mode.

The survey included demographic information as well asquestions related to participants’ beliefs about the nature of intelligence. We used a purposefulsampling approach with the goal of selecting participants that would provide insightful andinformative responses [33].
