Stronger industry-university partnership in doctoral educationwas deemed critical for a comprehensive professional training via experiential learning during theformative years as the graduate students transition to becoming independent scientists. Thus, therewas a consensus that the training will become qualitatively better through such partnerships.Through small and large group discussions and a panel discussion, the industry leaders identified11 desirable professional skills, with the top five of them considered necessary. They are: (i)Effective communication; (ii) Teamwork, people skills; (iii) Critical, independent thinking; (iv)Learning agility, openness to collaboration, cross-disciplinary interest

This approach is based upon WPI's project-based style ofeducation, one that employs the engineering approach to problem solving broadly across thesciences and mathematics.This project oriented curriculum, introduced over 30 years ago at WPI, has facilitated a majorchange in mathematics education. In the past ten years WPI faculty have developed a successfulmodel that introduces real-world, industrial, projects in mathematics education, at all levels frommiddle school to the Ph.D. program and faculty research.

In addition, it introduces and analyzes two methods of assessment, adirect method using a rubric administered by the instructor and an indirect method using a surveycompleted by the students. Data from at least two semesters are presented and analyzed to discussthe concept and the evidence needed by ETAC. The paper demonstrates how capstone projectcourses could be used as the platform for this assessment approach.

observations revealed distinct advantages for both physical anddigital engineering notebooks. Physical notebooks were favored by students who preferred a"messy" and rapid design process, enabling quick sketching, note-taking, and brainstorming dueto their tactile nature. Students often perceived physical notebooks as more personal andconducive to spontaneous ideation. Conversely, digital notebooks excelled in organization,collaboration, and the seamless integration of digital media, mirroring current industry practices.Furthermore, digital formats offered enhanced portability and accessibility to notebookinformation and tools, leveraging the increasing availability of technology in pre-collegeengineering education.Alignment with the Engineering
