, setexpectations, and build awareness of the importance and relevance of equity and inclusion totheir academic and professional careers. By incorporating elements of equity, inclusion, anddiversity into the orientation curriculum, institutions can work to develop norms related tostudent interaction focused on tolerance, support, and cultural appreciation. These types ofactivities and connections, especially when completed early in the academic experience, areinstrumental in the development of students’ sense of belonging [35]. In addition, Tinto [13]found that social connection and integration with campus community can result in increasedretention rates and attributed that to feelings of connection and belonging to the institution.Using freshman
providing enough graduates with an appropriate background to work inthese areas. It may stem from the fact that wireless communications, DSP, and SDR are alltopics traditionally taught at the graduate level within Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE). Thus, the majority of persons with the requisite knowledge and interest will be ECE MSand PhD graduates. While many ECE graduate level students are strong coders, softwaredevelopment skills are not the primary focus of traditional ECE programs, at least whencompared to that of a typical Computer Science (CS) curriculum. This results in a small pool ofcandidates for positions in wireless communications and SDR, made up of MS and PhDs in ECEwho happened to focus within the area of wireless

: So I think in a lot of ways that's…the complexity of the soft [professional] skills. And it's funny when we talk about soft skills. We don't mean that they're lesser than hard [technical] skills. It's that they're less definable.While Dr. James acknowledged the importance of teaching professional skills, he faceddifficulties in integrating these skills into the classroom because of their complexity and lack ofclarity. Due to the perceived challenges of including professional skills in the curriculum, out-of-class activities were offered as an important complement.Faculty members believed that students with experience outside the classroom are betterprepared for their careers through the acquisition of professional skills

mission of the program is “to prepare technically-orientedmanagerial professionals and leaders for business, industry, government, and education byarticulating and integrating competencies in Renewable Energy.” The program preparesgraduates for jobs in the fields of energy and renewable energy systems as well as regulatory andgovernmental agencies. To meet the demand for well-rounded graduates who are knowledgeablein both technical and economic aspects of renewable energy systems, an interdisciplinarycurriculum was developed, consisting of a multitude of selected courses from across theuniversity. In 2018, the name of the program was revised to the “Sustainable and RenewableEnergy” program to reflect the increasingly broad array of energy

The course introduces students to a widevariety of manufacturing processes. It stresses the mechanics of how the processes work, theirapplications, their capabilities and limitations, and product design considerations. Becausemanufacturing decisions are an integral part of the project development process, this course is anideal place to integrate an authentic learning experience that involves additional learningobjectives such as

The piloted virtual orientation program ran in a variety of digital platforms,asynchronously and synchronously, and included several best practices and strategies for asuccessful graduate student orientation (Almanzar et al., 2016), e.g., exploration of relevantresources (academic platforms, health and wellness, communities of support, etc.), social events,career discussions, and departmental advising and mentoring. This new program also integrated acomprehensive teaching assistant (TA) training component for those students who would beassigned teaching assignments.LiteratureGraduate Student Orientation: Research on transition to college is largely
learning goals fit within the theory'smotivation spectrum. Performance goals exhibit controlled motivation characteristics becausepeople are motivated due to external factors. Learning goals exhibit autonomous motivationcharacteristics because people are motivated by an internal value of the work [12]. Likewise, thebenefits of multiple goals are closely related to Integrated Regulation, a subcategory of controlledmotivation that shares characteristics of both control and autonomous motivation [12]. Another factor that affects the motivation of individuals is the complexity of the work andthe relatedness they feel with the work they participate in [16]. An example of task complexityaffecting motivation is the research by Vos et al., where
in basic humanneeds. Additionally, it is important to implement these innovations through social entrepreneurship andleadership efforts for achieving the desired societal impact. To apply the above principles effectively,students (especially the Gen-Z students) need to have a skill set in understanding the role of engineeringinnovations in a globalized society with an attitude of leadership to serve society [16], which was themotivation behind this class. Selected successful social innovations across the world were studiedthrough the lens of fundamental science and engineering along with the societal impact. At the sametime, students also reflected on how the innovators applied/integrated leadership skills/approacheswith social
