scholarship and contest criteria. • Offer more support to local chapters/activities that generate industry/university interaction (6) More exposure of students to industry is also desired. It is thought that a good way to achieve this is to have professional organizations put forth more effort in sharing opportunities, needs, trends, stories, etc. with universities. SME can provide more support and get more involved in local activities (and student chapters) to assist in establishing better industry-academic relationships and, for example, encouraging more student participation in SME senior chapter activities. • Sponsor more student competitions and class projects based on real industrial problems

This academic strategyintroduces learning activities for social education with the purpose of fomenting the developmentof citizen competencies (e.g. leadership, social cost, entrepreneurship). At the same time, thisstrategy looks for the achievement of the academic objectives of each subject. The transversalcitizenship attribute enriches the formation of students by promoting professional developmentwith a civic and democratic basis [21]. For the purposes of this study, the social problem thatwas introduced to the students was the lack of appropriate dwelling for vulnerable and marginalgroups in Mexico. The lack of

Loughborough University, students answered that individuals, teams, processes,project, and product all played an important role in determining a successful project [5].Communication is a highly valued skill in workplaces and in everyday life [6]. Communicationremains one of the focal points of multidisciplinary projects and the next studies that arereviewed kept that in mind. They all seemed to have the same goal of preparing students for theworkforce by trying to improve these skills.Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Finland, a multidisciplinary university in Canada,a multidisciplinary project by Stevens, Carmen Stevens and Stevens using 3 different classes,York College of Pennsylvania, Nanyang Polytechnic, and the University of Houston
engineering literacy began to be conducted in a traditional academic contextand administered much in the manner of a general education course; that is to have broad appeal,to be non-threatening to students (especially with respect to grade point average outcome), andbe both a function of the faculty’s area of expertise and a function of the audience to whom thecourse or program is directed.The next dimension of technological and engineering literacy was to add entrepreneurship andmove it into an economic dimension, a more practical business / commercial framework from itbeing an abstract research initiative [6]. And then the discussion (Keilson) took the STEMconcept, expanding it to STEAM to move technological and engineering literacy into being

The next most widespread form of was the asynchronous mode where recorded lecturesor presentations were placed online for students to watch at their own convenience.

learningstrategies [8]. Often described with active learning, though treated as a separate pedagogicalteaching strategy, experiential learning can be simply described as ‘learning by doing’ and activelyengages learners through experience-based learning approaches [5]. Active, learner-centeredteaching approaches in large classes have demonstrated decreased failure and drop-out rates, andthis project’s survey results coincided, showing overall positive attitudes from students and facultyalike [2]–[4].Both approaches have been studied as singular teaching methods and combinatory approaches.Modern classrooms often employ both active and experiential learning approaches, to create aninteractive classroom that relies on a self-learning, group learning, and at

For instance, in 2019, Abramson and Parasharintroduced the term translational computer science to describe the transition of appliedcomputer science research into wider adoption [32].
