Through the strategicuse of infographics, educators can leverage visual literacy to enhance the educational experienceand promote a deeper understanding of complex concepts in various fields, includingengineering education [37]. In conclusion, educational infographics represent a valuable resourcefor educators seeking to enhance student learning outcomes. By harnessing the power ofinfographics and incorporating them thoughtfully into educational practices, educators can createa more engaging and effective learning environment that resonates with learners across diversesettings and disciplines.References[1] Noori, N., & Anderson, P.

Beyond these approaches rooted in self-assessment, others havedeployed assessment instruments to measure downstream outcomes related to career achievement,typically during the early alumni years (e.g., [6 - 8]). For instance, programs have measured the extent 7to which alumni have attained positions and responsibilities related to program aims [6, 8], or,through qualitative analysis, the extent to which leadership themes are apparent in alums’ work andcareers [7].
