GraduatesAbstractStudent engagement in Experiential Learning Activities (ELA) is typically correlated withimproved post-graduation outcomes. Our School categorizes ELA into four areas: global (e.g.,studying abroad), industrial (e.g., internships, co-ops), undergraduate research, and teamprojects. This study aimed to evaluate ELA participation and investigate the impact on post-graduation outcomes such as full-time employment and graduate school admissions.Additionally, a statistical analysis was conducted to assess the correlation between ELAparticipation and starting salary in industry placements. Our results show starting salariesincreased with the number of ELA (i.e., students completing two or more ELA have highersalaries than those completing a single ELA

The objective there is to offer two degrees in parallel(Figure 3). After three years of successful study, students will graduate with a Bachelorsdegree as an Incorporated Engineer. A new four year degree will allow students tograduate with a Master’s degree, and, after four years of qualified industrial experience,they would receive the title of Chartered Engineer. The new system proposed foradoption in Britain closely resembles

understanding of basic entrepreneurialconcepts. Our first research question asks: (Q1) Does the introduction of entrepreneurial concepts into a core engineering curriculum diminish the learning of core engineering concepts?As engineering students prepare for a post graduation career, they consider several factors.Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) posits that career interests develop overtime as afunction of self-efficacy and the expected outcome related to a career choice15,16. While we arenot proposing this research as a test of the social-cognitive model, the elements of SCCT can behelpful in structuring our questions. For example, the case study method can help students buildentrepreneurial self-efficacy by showing how their engineering

Given the fact that disciplinary doctoral students conduct studies with theiradvisors and, thus, within domain-specific labs and/or programs [8], we hypothesize studentshave similar research domains as their advisers and faculty within the same discipline.Discrepancies outside of common disciplinary research domains between students and facultycould be evidence to support that students are successfully crossing the disciplinary boundaries.Therefore, assessing such disparities could potentially provide quality indicators of theinterdisciplinary graduate education program.For this study, participants were recruited from the materials design studio where students arerequired to complete an interdisciplinary research project.

The teaching strategy for undergraduate students isnot proper for them because the education for graduate students requires both advancedcourses and research.

Male students often report stress relatedto academic performance and career expectations.

The relationships among self-reported variables couldalso be inflated due to the common method bias. Finally, the present study did not allow for follow-up with all the students who had already obtained job interviews to see if they ended up receivingjob offers after graduating. It is possible that with more time, the data would have supported thesecond half of the fourth hypothesis. For future research, this model should be tested again,however, using a larger sample size and a longitudinal study following students from before theybegin their job search through the completion of their respective job searches.
