Acquisition of transferable professional skills andexploration of careers through experiential learning are widely promoted among many master’s(and undergraduate) programs as desirable features of IDPs. In practice, transferable skills havesector specific definitions and delivery of training is variable in quality and modes. Experientiallearning has a wide range of manifestations from individual internships/apprenticeships atcompanies, capstone projects which are common in engineering, and group industrial projects thatmay be done at the university.

The program, funded by the NationalScience Foundation Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program, was designed to supportretention of students from marginalized backgrounds in the field of computing especially duringthe second year of their major [1].Currently, the project at UIC is in its fourth grant year, having served four cohorts of students since2019. The program has served majority women or non-binary students and continues to strive forrepresentation of minoritized students in the fields

The engineering design course allowsstudents to work on a real-world project and exposes them to a broad range of ideas and skillsthat are important in engineering. Many of these – such as communication, planning, teamwork,prioritization, and dealing with failure – are also very relevant to life beyond engineering.“Connections” is an optional supplement to this required design course that engineering studentstake during their first
