argue educational institutions should develop and assess students’competencies based on these professional demands.This research systematically reviews literature related to this topic. This review seeks to answertwo questions: 1) What are the competencies engineering students must have to be successful inthe world of practice? 2) How can engineering education help students to develop thesecompetencies? A total of 30 articles were identified as relevant and reviewed. Two themes wereapplied: 1) Identification of engineering competencies 2) Approaches to address competencyshortfalls. Review of the literature suggests that while educational institutions are mostly alignedwith engineering competencies hailed as important to ABET, there is still

studied three groups: 1)students deemed prepared for the first semester general chemistry course and not required to takea remedial course, 2) students who were deemed unprepared and who took the remedial course butdid not serve as mentors, and 3) students who were deemed unprepared, took the remedial course,and then served as mentors. The results are striking. Students who came into the program lessprepared but then served as mentors went on to have higher grades in the general chemistry courseand the subsequent chemistry course than either of the groups- even the students who were deemedmore prepared at the onset. In addition, these students went on to take more chemistry courses thaneither group.In the Amaral and Vala study (2009) it is

model is oftencalled the knowledge model, and, since the users are students, the user model is often called thestudent model. The critical considerations for any creator or consumer of adaptive systems, then,are: what is being modeled; how it is modeled; and how the models are maintained. Whilevarious methods for modeling exist, the most used method today is overlay modeling. The coreprinciple behind overlay modeling is simply that there is some underlying model of a domainand that the model of some user is a subset of that domain model. The objective of adaptivesystems operating in this paradigm is two-fold: (1) to adapt what the user encounters such thateventually the user's overlaying subset matches the system's underlying whole and (2) to
