However, many international students lack the essential teamworkskills as the development of these skills is often under-emphasised during their previous studies. Inaddition, most of these students have limited or no relevant work experience. Consequently,developing strong teamwork competencies not only enhances the effectiveness of their presentacademic endeavours but also augments their prospects for future career progression. By recognisingthis need, this study presents an inclusive workshop framework, aiming to provide master’s studentswith the opportunity to develop general teamwork proficiencies whilst exploring new team roles anddynamics that are more appropriate

Ourapproach is that students should be probed to complete the work without feeling that they arepenalized for materials they are just learning. Formative assignments allow space for learningfrom mistakes and improving through the continuous provision of feedback by the instructors.Summative assessment occurs through weekly homework assignments, exams, and the finalsubmission of the team project. In the spirit of the PL platform design, emphasis is given onmastery rather than penalization. For example, students can earn additional points for solvingdifferent randomized versions of homework problems and multiple attempts

The purpose of this was toallow for transfer of learning throughout the week, allowing the students to build and showcasetheir own comprehension. The paradigm, the materials science tetrahedron, provided cohesionthroughout an otherwise broad and seemingly disconnected field, while the design projectallowed for students to implement what they learned during the week in a group setting. Thisapproach concomitantly enhances confidence and their sense of belonging within engineering. Inthis paper we highlight lessons learned from incorporating this approach into our program,including our perception of its effectiveness and feedback from

The outcomes and skills go hand in hand with the vision for thefuture of professional licensure and the associated educational requirements. Led again by theASCE, ongoing public debate resulted in the issuance of Policy Statement 465 on October 5,2014 supporting the concept that an MS or its equivalent is required to practice civil engineeringat the professional level 3.

SchoolIntroductionIn the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects nearly three million new jobs in STEMby 20201, which requires capable individuals with educational backgrounds in STEM to fill thepositions. However, in 2009, the U.S. Department of Education stated that only 16% of USstudents obtained a STEM-related degree out of 1.6 million bachelor’s degrees2. The lack ofcreativity and perspectives in STEM from the limited labor pool becomes a serious concern forthe society. The reason for students to be less willing to pursue a STEM degree in college can bevarious, for example, lack of quality preparation in mathematics and science or lack of financialsupport. Among the factors, an important reason is the lack of general knowledge
