program and their current use of PM skills?Literature ReviewProject management is valued by employers [7], specifically in STEM [3]. Research focused onthe development and implementation of PM training suggests that integrating PM training intothe undergraduate curriculum can be beneficial for prepping their future career [8], [9], [10],[11], [12]. Specifically, some studies highlighted their curriculum designs in helpingundergraduate students to gain PM experiences [8], [9], [10], and assess and understand students’learning experiences with PM knowledge [9], [11]. However, there’s a lack of studies that werefocused on STEM (e.g., software engineering [9], chemical and biological engineering [10]).Castañón–Puga et al. [9] assessed students' user

This studyaims to: (1) investigate bachelor’s in construction management programs in 72 AmericanCouncil for Construction Education (ACCE) accredited institutions to identify the accessibilityto forensic engineering-based courses; (2) identify essential forensic engineering skills thatstudents lack; and (3) investigate students’ interest to pursue a forensic engineering career. Theresults of this study indicated that forensic engineers need specific skills and competencies toobjectively analyze the causes of failure using the collected evidence

Recognizing thisshortage, many universities are taking steps to make it more accessible for students with non-engineering backgrounds to pursue graduate education in engineering through the creation ofbridge programs. Bridge programs are designed to facilitate the transition into engineering forstudents with non-engineering undergraduate backgrounds. For example, for over three decades,the LEAP (Late Entry Accelerated Program) by Boston University has been successfullytransitioning students with undergraduate degrees in liberal arts to the graduate engineeringprogram.
