diversity creates a unique opportunity to inspire students to reimagine their careertrajectories and to apply their engineering design skills in novel and meaningful ways.This study investigates the research question: How do ECE graduate students describe theirexperiences completing a professional development module? To answer this question, we firstdescribe the components and pacing of the module. We then investigate post-module survey datato understand the impacts of professional development education on ECE master’s students. Ourfindings highlight how design thinking can enhance students’ self-awareness, expand theirexploration of career options, and build their confidence in planning for the future. This paperaims to provide practical insights

and relate to new concepts, improving learning outcomes. Wang and Wang [9] formalized the use of Strategic Options Development and Analysis (SODA) maps – a type of conceptual model developed for operations research – as a tool for teaching systems thinking in a classroom setting. The SODA map allowed students to practice collaborative and higher level problem-solving by deriving and visualizing different strategies for a case study. Eppler [12] discussed applications of concept maps in the classroom and the benefits of complementary visualization by combining different mapping methods to enable a “richer learning experience for students.” Tranquillo et al.

online versus grade or scoreobtained in the course. Both courses showed overuse or over-access of course materials early in theclass, i.e. more than one access/view per student, with the graduate students maintaining this highratio till the end of the course. The data also clearly shows that even important documents are notaccessed or seen/read by a segment of the student population. The data also points to the effect ofgroup work, combined with single submission, on the participation rate of the students in the groupin the related online posting. Since the study involves only two courses, its applicability to othercourses requires further futuristic data from other instructors. Proceedings of the 2025 ASEE Gulf-Southwest
