Today, post-secondaryeducation students, in industrialized countries, have access to a compendium of information atlight-speed.7,8 Therefore, engineering programs must partner with industry professionals to keeppace with the engineering fields’ evolving needs. While industry partners continue to express theneed that engineering students entering the profession possess a strong foundation of theory andexercise, there is a loud and clear expectation for practical skills, problem-solving abilities, andteam-based collaborative success.6 Without the loud voices from industry, effectively driving thedirection

for how engineering educators develop students’professional skills.2. Background Literature on Students’ Professional SkillsWithin the field of engineering education, there have been calls to develop students asprofessionals [20]. For example, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) hasengaged in collaborative discussions with key players in industry, government, and academicsectors to develop engineering program standards for accreditation [21]. These standards havesince evolved over several decades [11, 20]. Notably, in 1997, ABET adopted new criteria(Criterion 3) that included eleven outcomes that engineering students should have whengraduating from ABET-accredited institutions – five technical and six professional skills

There are currently 310 systems and industrial engineeringprograms in the Worldwide Directory of Systems Engineering and Industrial EngineeringPrograms [11].
