for engineering graduates: Recent trends in higher education AbstractThe research paper discusses how higher education has responded to the existing gap betweenemployers’ expectations and qualifications of recent college graduates in professional skillsreported by national surveys of employers. During the last decade, the National Association ofColleges and Employers has been reporting that less than 50% of employers evaluate collegegraduates as proficient in the competencies such as professionalism/work ethic, oral/writtencommunications, teamwork/collaboration, leadership, and other related skills.The paper presents a two-fold analysis of Engineering

providing students with discussion questions prior tothe class session. 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

faculty and students. There is, therefore, a need for more research to expand the literature oncurriculum interventions that promote a holistic approach that fosters curiosity, creativity,problem-solving, and faculty buy-in.In this study, we provide an interdisciplinary approach to Computer Aided Design and Modelingcurriculum that integrates an entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, and STEAM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to provide real-world experiential learning tobetter prepare engineering students for entering the workforce. Such learning experiences willensure that students develop employability skills, a lack of which could lead to graduates missingout on rewarding careers [4]. The proposed solution will

deficiency in education, where the knowledge necessary for an engineer iscompromised. Allied with this fact, the evaluations of these students are also traditional,based on tests and descriptive evaluations. In Brazil, this scenario is prevalent because theresources designated to public universities for investments and improvements in teaching andlearning are limited.From traditional teaching methodologies, the development of professional skills can also becompromised [11]. The student needs to work in a team and work with structured problems inthe literature [12]. Other consequences observed in the literature are the unpreparedness ofthe future professional, school dropout [13], and lack of student commitment and cooperation[14].There are different
