responses were decisive for students to embrace new sustainabilityperspectives. Finally, the research also provides insight into future curriculum strategies fordeveloping engineering education for sustainability.1 IntroductionEngineers have consistently been recognised for their ability to solve problems that addressbasic human needs. These abilities have framed the profession’s fundamental mission toimprove the quality of life and contribute to a sustainable future [1]. However, before the 21stcentury, engineering was considered “the art or science of making practical application of theknowledge of pure sciences” [2]. This definition raised the importance of technical andproblem-solving skills in the engineers’ profile [2], prompting a

-focused laboratory report writing.Introduction Engineers need to have strong communication skills to carry out their day-to-day workand to advance in their careers. Engineers spend almost two thirds of their overall work time onsome form of written or oral communication [1]. Of that, half the time is spent on writtencommunication – preparing proposals, reports, memos, feasibility studies, white papers,operating manuals, engineering specifications, business letters and responding to emails. Rhodes[2] summarizes it well in his paper that “Long after most professional engineers have ceased tointegrate a differential equation, they are still required to write technical reports”.

It is an important foundational course for manyengineering students as it provides the ability to apply mathematical constructs in real-wordproblem based settings that are essential for any engineering discipline [1].

Forbes [1] has reported that the average bachelor's degree graduate in the United Stateshas roughly $38,000 in student loans upon graduation. Reports like this reveal yet another reasonthat proper academic advising is crucial. Well-executed advising helps students avoid wastingextra time and spending unnecessary money by ensuring they take only the required courses fortheir degree and avoiding extra ones. This also enables students to join the job market faster,thereby helping to reduce their debt burden further.

Self-efficacy refers to the strength of an individual’s belief in their capabilities to complete tasks andachieve a planned outcome (Bandura, 1997). We quantified students’ self-efficacy in two areas: 1) self-efficacy for tinkering with circuits (Tinkering SE), and 2) self-efficacy for designing new electronic systems (Design SE).Higher self-efficacy
