Design teamswork through team formation, client briefings, and a series of budget and design reviews withtheir professors and clients before presenting a prototype and closing out their projects. Thisproject-based course incorporates elements of NPD, which requires critical thinking, creativity,and problem solving to iterate through the design cycle.

The pillars can be traced throughout a curriculum to ensure empathy education iscontinuously integrated. Therefore, each model can be used to the advantage of engineering educators in avariety of ways and course context should be considered for the selection of a given model.Pedagogical StrategiesIn this section, instructional activities for empathy education that have been implemented in BME coursesare

Teamprojects have been shown to help students learn communication skills, creativity, cultural com-petence, and project management, among other skills [2]. As a result, undergraduate engineer-ing programs often incorporate team projects to help students apply their knowledge and to pre-pare them for the collaborative nature of most industry work [3].

Accordingly, this research aims to investigate the influence ofemployment guidance on employment quality through the lens of career readiness. Itwill emerge as a crucial factor that must be carefully considered in the design andimplementation of employment guidance programs.
