succeed on equal terms [29].Theme 5: Collaboration with Coworkers and ManagersEngineers interact with colleagues in several forms—as coworkers, in teams, and in amanager–subordinate relationship—each of which offer opportunities for network building,increasing self-efficacy, and achieving career goals.Collaboration among coworkers brings a sense of belonging, especially for new graduates andearly-career engineers. New hires often sought support from their peers to gauge theirperformance and fit within the organization [13], and it was the process of working alongside“peers, mentors, and/or experts in their field” where early-career professionals experienced themost growth [32]. Engineers expressed frustration when they faced conflict with their

improve their competitiveness in the market[3,4,5,6,7]. Whereas, the higher education institution may see the value-added source of grantto conduct their research. However, for a typical non-research U.S. senior design capstoneproject, the industry funding amount is usually low [20,22], like $5,000.00 or less per semesterproject. This may be one of the reasons why faculty is not too motivated to coach undergraduatesenior design project.For industry, it is common to charge client with $20,000 per single management consultant for aweek (not included airline ticket, rental car, hotel, and food) a decade ago. Obviously, anycapstone project student would not be eligible to work 50 hours a week, nevertheless, it dependson what value that one could

, where university studentsact as instructors and industrial apprentices participate as attendees. This design aims to enhance theuniversity students' understanding of robot programming while imparting this knowledge to MTR staff.To contextualize the training and enhance university students’ understanding of real-world challengesin the MTR’s operational frontlines, we have arranged various activities, including a site visit to thedata center of MTR for discussions with industry experts in digitalization, a site visit to a maintenancedepot to explore current applications of robotics in a real-world industrial setting, and an enterpriseannual report session to showcase the intermediate collaborative results.We evaluated the outcomes of this
