, we wanted to know what social skills thestudents perceived were being modeled by the peer mentors working in a makerspace classroom.Technical SkillsThe role of an engineer can vary widely, and as a result, the technical skills required by those inengineering roles may also vary [6]. For example, an engineer may be in a small start-upcompany or working independently and may be positioned to be engaged in processes from theinitial idea, drafting solutions, creating models, testing prototypes, and refining potential endproducts. In contrast, an engineer may be in a large corporate organization, where theirresponsibilities are frequently limited to drafting plans for prototypes or products to certainspecifications with minimal engagement in

the context of employment education and services, the landscape ofuniversity graduate employment services has evolved significantly from state-led joballocation policies. During the planned economy era, employment for graduates wasarranged by the state. In 1987, the introduction of “supply-demand meetings” began todiminish the role of these policies. By 1999, most regions had abolished the jobassignment system, and post-2000, with the expansion of higher education,employment services shifted towards promoting autonomous job selection and careerguidance. Despite this transformation, university-provided career guidance and servicesstill require enhancements in terms of service philosophy, platforms, methods, andpathways [25]. There are

The partnership was formed based on ashared interest in combining engineering and technological skill building with the creativeproblem solving associated with visual art, to foster a match of experimentation with criticalthinking and STEM based lessons for students. For example, one project included creating alight-based sculpture where students learned the fundamentals of basic electronics to apply solarpower to LED-lit projects.

Specifically, the second goal, increasing DEI in STEM, is key toachieving the other two goals. Following the guidance of this strategic plan, colleges, anduniversities have implemented various practices, including recruiting a more diverse faculty andstudent body for better diversity and inclusion on campus, improving outreach and recruitment toa diverse array of students, providing support services for students, and creating an

when students combine advice from several different sourcesabout curricular issues, for instance, and try to create a plan of action that is inherently againstthe intentions of the faculty. An example may be replacing a core course with one from anotherdepartment while also changing out another course that then leaves the student deficient in someof the content normally required to be mastered.Another problem that longitudinal advising avoids involves hearsay or partial information. It isnot unusual for students to partially remember some advising details from previous encounterswith faculty and then misuse that partial information. Oftentimes, too, students turn to theirpeers for information and get poor advice on important decisions

As a result they either tune out or never develop a deepunderstating of the materials and simply imitate mechanical operations and the essential analysisand arguments necessary to solve the problem. One common criticism of the PBL method is thatstudents may not recognize what might be important for them to learn, so the facilitator must beextra careful to assess each student’s prior knowledge. Another criticism is that instructorscannot cover as much material as the traditional method. Furthermore, the method is hard toimplement and there are different definition and interpretation of the strategy and the manner ofits implementation, within instruction, appears to be ad hoc.
