Engineering Education, 2024Examining the Effectiveness of Industrial Partnerships in Capstone Courses: A Qualitative Study through the Lens of Engineering UndergraduatesAbstractRapid changes in the global economy have necessitated the development of a workforceequipped with the skills to adapt and evolve to meet the demands of the modern workplace. Inthis context, universities are tasked with preparing and training students to be job-ready upongraduation. Yet, adequately preparing students for engineering careers beyond graduationremains challenging for all engineering institutions. Problem-solving skills are often regarded asone of the key characteristics of successful engineering graduates. Most engineeringundergraduates are formally exposed to

We areencouraging students to layer these concepts; for example, apply care through the criteria withinDesign for Social Justice, and through care ethics, consider how identifying structural inequitiesmay become part of the realm of engineering work. Moreover, it is a skill they are introduced toin their design courses, so it allows for some measure of integration to that work.As

Bringing Entrepreneurial Mindset to the Design of Machinery Through a Bio-Inspired Project with Aesthetic ObjectivesAbstractEngineering students often lack sufficient opportunity to work on so-calledwicked and real-world problems in their core technical engineering courses. One of thenationally recognized initiatives to overcome this challenge is the integration of theentrepreneurial mindset (EM) in various instructional activities of engineering programs. Yet,there are limited studies in the literature related to the effectiveness of the EM as a framework ofcurriculum design in the context of machine design and dynamics of machinery.
