We immediately saw the benefit of this arrangement fromthe feedback of our recent graduates in the industry. In this paper, the authors summarize whatwas learned from integrating manufacturing engineering concepts into mechanical designcurriculum, and incorporating global aspects of manufacturing in manufacturing engineeringcurriculum. We will outline some of the changes we have made to the curriculum and thechallenges we have faced. Topics of discussion also include immersing students in an industrialsetting in and outside of classrooms and hands-on project-based experiential

While the chairs that had formed thisgroup, had met several times, and had a healthy exchange of ideas, it was quickly apparent thatthe chairs/directors of graduate programs also had issues to discuss and resources that could beshared or developed together. As such a subgroup of EECHA, the graduate program sub-committee, was formed with the chairs/directors of the various engineering education graduateprograms in 2022. It was in these meetings that the challenges of Open House events werediscussed (among other topics facing the graduate program chairs/directors of the programs)prompted by the recognition of difficulties encountered in 2020-2022 with events being purelyvirtual

Page 14.79.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2009 A Novel Paradigm for Training Graduate Students in Soft SkillsABSTRACTMost chemical engineering programs which offer masters and PhD degrees have a commonseminar series for all the graduate students. Typical seminar series includes presenters withexpertise in cutting edge topics are invited. Chemical engineering is expanding and manyresearch topics could address only a portion of the students. Further, conducting seminars for theentire duration of the semester may be cost prohibitive, leading to reduction in number ofseminars. Interestingly, there are very few seminars that introduce graduate students to non-technical content that could be paramount to their future success

A learning platform called ISPeL is implementedbased on this framework, and we have conducted a user study to collect students’ feedback. Theuser study results show that our proposed method and ISPeL are promising in enhancing students’education, particularly in understanding the connections between topics and mastering thesubjects.For future data collection, we will use the second survey introduced in the User Study Results

It seems critical that those most affected by interdisciplinary education—doctoral students—provide feedback about such innovations. Without understanding students’ experiences in interdisciplinary programs, faculty will not know whether they are “getting it right” for future generations of interdisciplinarians (p. 757). iven the persistent challenges of interdisciplinary graduate education, scholars haveGconsistently called for multifaceted, systemic change across the layered systems of academic institutional governance and the incentive structures both inside and

graduate education has shown that 40% of students have anxietyand depression, compared to 20% in the general population [1]. Furthermore, engineeringgraduate education has been found to be exclusive and inequitable for traditionally underservedstudents, with 16% of students citing discrimination from their primary advisor [2], despite theimportance of this relationship for underserved students [3], [4] and especially for those withintersectional identities [5]. Without addressing the structural and inequitable failings of thegraduate education system, the prevalence of role models and diversity within the studentpopulation are in jeopardy.

law.Motivation and IntroductionThere is enormous pressure on curricula at public universities from legislatures to reduce thenumber of credits for graduation, while increasing graduation and retention rates and maintaininga substantial level of general education (or similarly named programs, such as: core curriculum,foundation curriculum, etc.) for the graduate. A reduction in credit hours is particularly difficultfor engineering due to ABET accreditation requirements and employer expectations forengineering competency. Typically, the general education of a baccalaureate graduate includes anumber of credits in composition, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences, mathematics,and physical education. Engineering courses are not considered
