chance to reflect on their improvements and progressand realize where designs might fail. This is a critical piece in the engineering self-efficacy development[13]. Second, it allowed the professor the opportunity to understand which students required moreindividual support and design coaching in the classroom. Those that were independently problem solvingand constructing could be left to their own devices. Those that were stuck were offered more guidance andprompting to help move the activity along. If the activity were done in teams, those that struggled to getstarted might not get the opportunity to independently construct limited fidelity prototypes due to the natureof team dynamics and would miss this critical part of the design realization

Writing in the year of 2020, when engineering education yet againfaces looming paradigm shift driven in part by a global pandemic and major powers’ adjustmentin attitudes and strategies to globalization, we attempt to reassess visions of “engineers for thefuture,” as reflected through policy discourses in the United States and China, two major playersin global engineering education. For this purpose, we present a careful reading of recent policydocuments published by the US National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the ChineseMinistry of Education (MoE).The NAE (2018) report Understanding the Educational and Career Pathways of Engineersresulted from a study commissioned by the Academy to “understand

resumes on file, especially from successful internsor contractors who could just as easily by-pass the online job advertising recruitment process. Also, it shouldbe noted that job description may not provide a complete reflection of the type of work an engineer does onthe job. The nature of the work conducted by engineers evolves as time and projects go on, meaning theactual activities of a practicing engineering may be very different from those that were written into the jobadvertisement. In addition, the rate of occurrence of activities within a job posting is unlikely to reflect theproportion of time spent on each activity by the engineer. While acknowledging these limitations, the researchteam does not claim that the findings of this paper

For example, 21.3% of students prioritized individual accountability intraditional learning while only 14.1% did so in remote learning. This downward trend is similarto what students said about their lab groups. With regard to individual accountability, whilestudents made more frequent comments about interpersonal and social skills in remote learningwith regard to their lab groups, the increase in these types of comments in their study groups wasmuch larger. Students in remote learning mentioned interpersonal and social skills with respectto their peer groups at over twice the frequency (22.7%) of students in

It is also a time when students’ beliefs of engineering andits education are reinforced (Hutchison et al., 2006). The content and experiences offered aspart of these courses present an opportunity to support students in developing their beliefs andattitudes towards engineering. We teach students that engineers design, apply math andscience to solve problems, program, make decisions, have different areas of specialty, but oftenmiss or convey only implicitly that engineering at its core is a human endeavor, one that ispracticed for people, with people, and as people (Fila et al., 2014).

These difficulties were compounded for Asian international students by a rise inanti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significantincreases in Sinophobic slurs on Twitter, social media, message boards, and other platforms ofAmerican culture reflected a shift toward blaming the Chinese for the COVID-19 pandemic andamplified negative bias against both international and U.S. Asian students

The advice theyprovide, however, aligns with dominant postfeminist narratives and cultural ideas about howwomen can achieve success in the contemporary workplace. They emphasize the need forwomen to overcome any other issues or obstacles they may encounter as individuals (whether ornot they perceive of them as being related to gender).

Engineer, researcher, student, and educator roles are commonly enacted by engineeringdoctoral students during their graduate studies [23]. While these academic roles may align with adoctoral students’ interests, they may also be strictly defined by the institution that the doctoralstudent serves. For example, a doctoral student may or may not be interested in being in the roleof an educator but may have to be a TA as part of their graduate program.

For any institution, including UMBC, the development of this shared vision requiredsignificant time, financial support, passion, safe space for difficult conversations, strategicplanning and detailed documentation [27]. Deeper investigation into UMBC’s academic historyrevealed that it was not always a highly regarded institution with prestigious accolades.

But they certainly broadened their studies. Moreover,industrialists tended to support this approach to liberal studies and in both the US and UKhave continually complained to this day that graduates are inadequately prepared for industry.Korte has shown that graduates themselves wish they had been better prepared for their initialexperience of industry [26].Back in 1963 Andrews and
