strong foundation in the engineering mindsetand the choice of integrating that mindset with another field in the BA or deepening theirtechnical skills with the BS. The initial thrust for the program came from recognition of mutuallybeneficial opportunities within the college and community. Conversations with local industrypartners and K-12 schools further guided our development so that students would be engagedand also learn the “soft skills” necessary to thrive in industry. In the development, we prioritizedreal life projects and transferrable skills while trying to preemptively address the sticking pointof calculus thought our introductory quantitative reasoning with MatLab course. Our courseofferings are meant to allow students pursuing the

programs have become a top priority for universities worldwide, offering students avariety of skills beyond traditional lecture-based learning [5]. These programs provide a plethoraof benefits, including the opportunity to develop soft skills, global competence, personalnetworking, and cross-cultural communication abilities. [6]. In the Asian region, variousinternational consortiums and organizations facilitate collaborative mobility programs amongmember universities. One initiative is the Asian International Mobility for Students (AIMS)Programme. A regional initiative led by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education OrganizationRegional Centre specializing in higher education and development (SEAMEO RIHED), AIMSsupports student mobility and

A supervisor replied to a post-internship survey stating that the student "worked well with partnered colleagues. They spokehighly of her. She was willing and able to ‘dig deep’ in current data sets in order to help informdecisions.” These data analysis skills extend beyond the typical “technical skills” and merge intomore sophisticated, nuanced skills. Although other programs might subjugate these skills to the“soft skills” that matter less than the technical skills, our micro-credential committed tosupporting students in their development of what others have

instruction of “soft skills that everyemployer is looking for,” such as becoming “problem solvers and increasing [students’] criticalthinking skills.” Certification was also mentioned as a way to ensure students become “globalcitizens,” through providing opportunities for students to make an “impact in their community.”In this way, administrators’ view of STEM/STEAM learning as connected to future career andeconomic success mimics the GaDOE’s stated reasons for encouraging STEM/STEAMinstruction.In contrast, one administrator described reluctance to pursue STEM/STEAM certificationbecause of a belief that it might hinder students’ learning. This administrator shared that, sincethe COVID-19 pandemic, their students have struggled with academics, and
