of the professional skills gap that existsbetween employer’s expectations and the qualifications of their new engineering hires. To dothis, a 2-part study examined both evidence in the literature regarding education methods andevidence of course work required of engineering professional graduates in their pursuit of abachelor’s degree. Based on the findings of this research, while engineering professionalprograms are making progress toward better professional skills, it appears that there is still muchwork to do to ensure that graduates are well qualified for professional practice. Evidence suggests that written communication skills are the most widely addressedprofessional skills in engineering professional curriculum. Many programs

Students discussed the highlights of a research paper in their team beforepresenting a brief summary, questions, and additional thoughts for the class to discuss. The topicscovered in these discussions spanned a wide range of topics including: (1) the impact ofadvanced technology and AI on work (AI, Robotic Process Automation, Chatbots) [7], [8], [9];(2) organizational design and its impacts on how people will work (Crowd Work, Care Work,Telework, Smart Working, Remote Work, Four Day Workweek) [10], [11], [12]; (3)demographics of workers, (4) communication and coordination (Human-machine interaction andhuman-human interaction), (5) collaboration and social interactions

successful teaching strategy.It can be used in a virtual environment or regular college classroom settings. Active learningteaching approaches have been found to improve student learning, raise retention rates, and closethe achievement gap between various student populations in college science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses [4]. Beyond the subject of electrical engineering,active learning pedagogies have been applied extensively in industrial engineering [5-7].For STEM students, in particular, who learn best in courses with hands-on laboratories, aneffective online instructional practice uses a variety of active learning pedagogies as shown inFigure 1. There is a considerable level of discontent with online engineering

In parallel to updating existing policies, the current pedagogy, instructional design, and curriculummust be enhanced accordingly to allow for AI integration. While educational institutions and educatorsare investing a significant time exploring the use of AI tools, there has not been an AI tool that isofficially integrated with the existing learning environment and adopted by educational institutions.Educators and students that choose to explore Gen AI tools resort to us one of the publicly available toolslike ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude 2.0, or similar tools [43], [44].

Frugal Engineering can be defined as a process that reducesproduct/process/project complexity with a focus on customer need and affordability. Some universitieshave already seen the need for frugality, as in the Frugal Innovation Hub at Santa Clara University(https://www.scu.edu/engineering/labs--research/labs/frugal-innovation-hub/), and the Social E Lab atStanford University where complete projects as part of a program in Design for Extreme

Research has found that the most important writing tasks inthe workplace include emails [6] and business proposals [7]. In response to research findings andinput from faculty and industry partners, the Accreditation Board of Engineering andTechnology (ABET) criteria for student outcomes include “an ability to communicate effectivelywith a wide range of audiences” [8].When and how to teach writing in the engineering undergraduate curriculum has also been thefocus of education research. Scholars have documented how communication has been integratedin individual engineering courses and across the curriculum [9], [10]. Studies have also

[23] also present positive results based on the criticalreflection of industrial engineering faculty who work with active learning.Therefore, to get to know a panorama of excellence in teaching industrial engineering,strategies seen in the labor market can also be approached in universities. Benchmarking, forexample, allows comparisons between institutions to increase productivity and accelerateinnovations in the productive environment [24]. In the case of universities, it is possible tofind out what educational institutions are implementing and researching to increase the area'seffectiveness, directing engineering teaching based on the best practices adopted by otheruniversities and ensuring
