IntroductionIn today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, STEM education is the foundation forfuture advancements, economic growth, and societal progress. It prepares students for careers infields like engineering and computer science. It equips them with the skills necessary to thrive ina technology-driven world. It also fosters innovation and problem-solving abilities to addressglobal challenges like the energy crisis, climate change, and healthcare. According to the Bureauof Labor Statistics, employment in STEM areas in the United States is projected to grow by 9.5%from 2019 to 2029, which is a much faster growth compared to

These urban areas contributeapproximately 70% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions [1]. This growth presents a paradoxas cities are crucial for economic development and growth yet significantly negatively impact theenvironment. Related to this issue, Canada faces a severe housing crisis, requiring an additional3.5 million homes by 2030 to meet anticipated demand [2]. This goal far exceeds the current rateof new construction. This situation highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions thatbalance economic growth, societal

Team selection has been studied in a variety of fields, and while well-functioning teamsare critical for project success, the best approach to forming teams remains a topic of discussion[1-4]. Attempts to optimize student project assignments are often based on factors such asstudent availability [5] and teammate preference [2, 3]. Like many others [5-7], our instructorsconsider student project and teammate preferences during the team assignment process in hopesthat it will increase the likelihood of success, both in delivering design solutions and in creatingwell-functioning teams.

thatis narrowly focused on research skills, adapts slowly to emerging trends, and provides professionaldevelopment primarily for academic careers. This approach limits an institution's ability to preparestudents for the requirements of the 21st-century workplace, which increasingly requires students totranslate their knowledge beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and pursue novel opportunities byswitching jobs. [1] Further, it largely disregards that students have different starting points upon enteringthe graduate program, which reflects not only the student's academic preparation but other aspects oftheir background (e.g., socioeconomic, sociocultural, prior work experience, professional development),resulting in a lack of inclusivity.In

The first signof shortage appeared during the COVID-19 pandemic when the extended lockdown disruptedchip production. Meanwhile, the demand for computer chips increased as more people shifted toremote working. The chip shortage also revealed our country’s dependency on foreignmanufacturing, which soon became a geopolitical issue that involved supply chain resiliency andnational security concerns [1]. As a result, the US government introduced the 2022 Chips andScience Act to boost domestic semiconductor production
