Thelaboratory report contained mostly photographs and brief explanations of the various steps in theproject. Additionally, students were asked to reflect on the entire experience for each assignment,which allowed students to exercise some metacognition, and also gave the course staff an idea ofwhere the main challenges lie.

. Belonging encompasses a subjective assessment of astudent's sense of acceptance, value, inclusion, and encouragement from both peers andinstructors within the academic environment. It also entails feeling integral to the class andrecognizing one's importance in the educational community [13]. Studies indicate that studentswho persist in STEM majors tend to experience a heightened sense of belonging compared totheir counterparts who transition out of STEM fields. However, individuals fromunderrepresented groups, including females, are less likely to perceive a strong sense ofbelonging. This disparity is, in part, attributed to the numerical underrepresentation of womenboth in educational settings and within the industrial landscape [13-18]. This

All these skills are still relevant for certain professional rolesor applications, but the modern undergraduate curriculum prioritizes learning how to learn andbecoming a resourceful problem-solver over accumulating the maximal set of discrete technicalskills.

billion employees and $15.8 trillion in wages The rapidly changing landscape of the workplace and associated uncertainty has raised a lot of questions about the future of our education system. The impact of different industrial revolutions on education, just like all other parts of society has been profound. Education 1.0 was no education at all. At that time children worked in manual jobs and child labor was the order of the day. Education was not necessary to earn a living, it was merely a luxury for the elites and the rich. Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production.

Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers.

Education 2.0 originated from the need to read and write and was developed in the model of Industry 2.0, with emphasis on repeatability, uniformity, efficiency, and mass production. Industry needed lots of people to do same type of tasks and the education paradigm evolved to meet that need. Engineering education, which modeled the industrial set-up most closely followed a highly linear path with curriculum being divided into a set of courses with a distinct prerequisite structure where students would have to pass one class to move onto the next.

The gap also existed as some studentshave limited vision about their role and dream jobs upon finishing their high school degree [25].Another critical reason that plays a significant role in increasing the gap between academia andindustry is the lack of engineering students seeing the classroom as something that can help themimprove their overall skills and abilities [16], [19].3.
