The followingresearch questions were formulated to guide the study: 1. What do industry members consider important in terms of the competencies acquired by recent graduates? 2. What are industry members’ views on the role of international accreditation for the enhancement of engineering programs?Conceptual FrameworkTo inform the study, we chose the conceptual framework proposed by Volkwein et al. [12](Figure 1), developed for the project "Engineering Change: A Study of the Impact of EC2000". Itpostulates that the modified EC2000 accreditation standards will effect changes in curriculum

It can be seen that most of these studies provideguidance for interdisciplinary educational program design from specific entry points such asorganizational institutionalization, curriculum design, and program implementation, whileVan Den Beemt et al. took a more comprehensive perspective and systematically reviewexisting interdisciplinary engineering education research, proposing a conceptual frameworkfor interdisciplinary engineering education programs [22]. This framework divides theprocess of designing and implementing interdisciplinary educational programs into three keylevels: vision, teaching, and support, providing guidance

Although the project was driven by an end goal, it expanded the scopeof what is traditionally encountered in an undergraduate engineering curriculum. The endeavorhighlighted that success hinged not solely on technical acumen but also on the ability tonavigate complex interpersonal dynamics and organizational challenges. The student emergedas a leader, addressing numerous unforeseen issues. Securing funding, acquiring specificmaterials, and garnering support from corporate

development and class engagement [11]. Co-creating or co-designingeducation modules can lead to deeper interaction, benefiting both students and faculty [11].Before starting the co-creation process of developing the model, the group first had to understandthat this was an interdisciplinary co-creation work. Therefore, the first challenge was to find a wayto see how people from different academic backgrounds (Biomedical, Mechanical, Electrical, andComputer Engineering) at different academic levels (graduate and faculty members) cancollaborate with each other successfully. To address this, at the beginning of the project, the groupparticipated in several workshops to develop a deeper understanding of co-creation work, itsadvantages, and challenges. For

the program names contribute to some of these challenges,leading to questions about whether rebranding to a different name might be beneficial. Otherstudies have explored renaming motivations and results in geography [13], agronomy [14],writing programs [15], vocational education [16], and institutions [17], [18]. There is a generalconsensus that names are powerful, and changes often reveal tensions with the health and/oridentity of programs. Frazier et al. [13, p. 13] notes: “Do name changes reflect an expandedmission… or other goals such as addressing low enrollment, shifting student interests, or thedesire to project a fresh identity or realign with a new academic emphasis?” There may also beconcern about name recognition or conveying the
