and academia. For these reasons, we approachPBL as the primary educational context for the ‘learning by teaching’ of convergencemethodologies.3 Proposed Convergent Graduate (ConGrad) Education FrameworkOverviewThrough a synthesis of the studies on the topics of convergence, experiential learning, learning byteaching, and PBL, the following ConGrad Education Framework has been created (Figure 1).This framework offers universities a guideline for the creation of graduate programs designed totrain students in convergence methodologies, to teach skills in team work, systems thinking, andcommunication, and to be better equipped to solve real-world complex problems.Motivated by complex problems between science and society, and supported by

studentsopportunity to solve real-world engineering problems [2]. Learners demonstrate the ability toplan, select, and locate information; engage in critical analysis; apply multilayered decisionmaking; and generate new meaning [3]. Mosher found that the purpose of capstone programs isto give students the opportunity to apply technical tools, techniques and knowledge learned inthe classroom to an open-ended, realistic, and creative problem-solving experience [4, 5, 6, 7]. Inaddition to the value of the application of engineering concepts, these educational experiencesare lauded as excellent preparation and are strongly encouraged by industry [2]. Ha contends thata capstone project can be an extremely useful application in high demand in the real world

, astudio-based component or a series of projects or problems (problem-based learning), wherestudents work in teams.Problem-Based Learning (PBL)Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has become a fundamental approach in education, especiallywithin engineering and architecture disciplines, due to its emphasis on solving real-worldproblems through curriculum integration. The essence of PBL lies in its ability to bridge the gapbetween theoretical knowledge and its application, fostering an environment where studentsengage in meaningful projects that mirror professional practice. This educational approachemphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, community engagement, and sustainability, whichare crucial for addressing today's complex global challenges [17

In the educational module, students will have access to a GUI and have the ability tomodify the parameters and observe the changes in the stability outcome.The other component of this paper was conducting a literature review to decide which types of sensorsare best suited for monitoring fall prevention. In the educational module another experimental compo-nent can be explaining the concepts of inertial measurement units in the application of fall preventionand letting students conduct experiments to collect data that can be used in the Python model visualiza-tion.This hands-on approach utilizing sensors integrated with the theory and dynamic model enhances stu-dents’ understanding and problem-solving skills in real-world

They [13] adopted PBL to enhance PM skills for 1400master's students who worked closely with teams, faculty, government entities, and corporations.Nowicki et al. [14] introduced a student research project class in the master's program at theTechnical University's Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Informatics in Gdańsk,Poland. This class is designed to help them better prepare for their future careers (e.g., R&Dpositions, high-tech companies) involving research (e.g., in institutes/universities) and scientifictasks. As a program outcome, students completed 80 research projects, contributing to

become factors that can impact whether or not Black PhD studentsdecide to leave the program before completion. Doctoral education begins with the submission of a strong application. While many resourceslay out how to tailor an application to increase a student’s chances of acceptance, there is littlecriticism of the existing rhetoric surrounding doctoral programs and what they may offer a studentlong-term, especially in terms of education quality and support systems in place to ensure studentretention. Once admitted to the graduate program of their dreams, challenges of identity alignmentwith peers can make integration a burden for minoritized groups like Black PhD candidates 2 .

By improving Engineering students’storytelling abilities, they are better equipped to communicate complex technical research ideas,engage diverse audiences, and make themselves stand out in the job market. As the long-termimpact of these courses is yet to unfold, they hold the potential to transform the educationalsystem (curricula), leading to a new

Then,participants were asked to rate the challenge levels for each of these items on a scale of 1 to 5,where 1 represented the lowest level and 5 represented the highest level of challenge. Theoutcomes in figure 6 illustrate that among the six out of seven impediments faced by facultymembers, the 3rd-level challenges constitute the largest proportion.

yield any reviews. Next, we noted that there are differences between highereducation systems and doctoral studies in the U.S. and the rest of the world (e.g., in terms ofcost, application process, qualifications, time to degree completion, etc. [60]). In addition,organizational climate, which is influenced by organizational culture, differs around the world[61]. Therefore, our literature search targeted the Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) andthe conference proceedings of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). Thesetwo sources were selected as they are the primary publication venues for engineering educationscholars in the United States. We also searched the Journal of Organizational Behavior, whichis focused on research

be written as an overarching conceptual metaphor thatrepresents a systematic way of thinking. For example, in the conceptual metaphor TIME ISMONEY, we use our everyday experiences with money to help us conceptualize the moreabstract domain of time. This conceptual metaphor can then be expressed linguistically indifferent ways, for example “You’re wasting my time,” and “This gadget will save you hours.”Lakoff and Johnson [1] also point out that different cultures may conceptualize time differentlyor may linguistically express the same conceptual metaphor using different wording.In the book Making Truth: Metaphor in Science, Brown [9] similarly explains that weunderstand nature and science based on how we interact with the physical world
