papers that describe the evolution of computational science, its growth and thefuture needs and emerging topics/areas.Career Exploration and NetworkingFor this module, we present what career exploration entails and why graduate students shouldstart this from day one in their program. The idea is to educate themselves on the various careerpaths they can choose from, understand what each path expects in terms of academicbackground, experiences, skills and expertise. Lectures include, “Career Exploration–What is itand why now?, Curriculum Vita and Resumes, Strategies and Techniques for Networking at Jobfairs and Conferences, and Developing social media presence (LinkedIn, Research Gate andGitHub) to establish visibility and enable networking.We

Second, it advances self-determination theory in engineering education by extending SDT constructs beyond researchmotivation to the development of communication necessary for academic and professionalsuccess. Pilot testing indicated that participants completed the 76-item tool within 20 minutes,with feedback confirming its engagement, clarity, and relevance.The findings have significant implications for graduate advising, curriculum design, andprofessional development programs in engineering education. By embedding COMM-FLOWSinto advisor training, communication workshops, and peer mentoring, institutions can fostermore autonomous

This graduate course was initially developed to be a part of a traditionalface-to-face lecture-based curriculum; however, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it wasrestructured and discoursed coursed in an online format. This paper discusses on course structureused to enforce online systems engineering over weeks. This included addressing the basicconcepts of systems engineering to provide the student's knowledge to facilitate the transformationof operational needs to a well-defined system. Further, students reviewed the iterative designprocess of problem formulation, analysis, optimization

sociotechnical thinking researchor contextual factors described (e.g., [8], [9], [17], [19]] to explore different ways of thinking andreasoning about these various domains. Researchers could develop design activities that cangenerate sociotechnical discussions and explore differences across groups of engineering studentsand professionals with different levels of experience. Alternately, the research could followdifferent cohorts of students and early career professionals and investigate the changes over timein how they consider and engage with sociotechnical dimensions of design. This kind of researchcould also illuminate salient experiences and challenges related to sociotechnical thinking asengineers move through their curriculum or profession. By

Furthermore, a desire for active learning by both students andfaculty has also increased the use of team-based learning. However, team-based learning also hasits drawbacks – notably, managing conflict among team members, reconciling differing levels ofeffort by students, and the construction of a fair and effective

manufacturingcapabilities, giving rise to the product development class at the American University. The classsoon became an essential building block in its manufacturing curriculum. Being offered both, asa business class and an engineering class, the class also helped strengthen the ties andcollaboration between the engineering department and the business school.From its inception, one of the key tenets of the class was to generate and select student ideas and,over the course of a semester, transform these ideas into tangible products. Teams of six to eightstudents from both the business school and engineering department would receive a budget of$1,000 to do this. Initial funding was provided by the industry partners of the newly mintedmanufacturing program. Later

, 2008]. At FGCU, a majority of our courses are taught in an integrated lecture-labenvironment, such that a three credit-hour course meets for five hours per week. This extendedcontact time, in addition to studio classrooms based on the SCALE-UP (Student Centered ActiveLearning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies) 1 model [Beichner, 2000] allows forunique opportunities in curricula development. The goals of the course revision were to continueto find ways to integrate high impact practices into the curriculum, providing the students a firstyear experience within a learning community. While the size of the course and the number offaculty assigned to teach the course prohibits these experiences to be facilitated directly byfaculty, the spirit

undergraduate engineering curriculum is extremely challenging, largely due to thecomplexity of the processes and concepts it introduces. One good way to handle this complexityand assist students in learning about the development of engineered products is by providingenhanced visualization of the processes and concepts involved. This has been recognizedrecently by several researchers who are attempting to harness state-of-the-art virtual realityexperiences to improve the quality of engineering education. This has prompted one group towrite, "Virtual reality has grown up. Once an exotic field of computer sciences, it is now animportant topic for the engineers of tomorrow."1The engineering research and development of a virtual reality flight simulator
