In fact, research in the field indicates thatteamwork and communication skills – competencies found in the ‘middle’ of the list – are topcompetencies for engineering practice. Additionally, the need to investigate potential clusters ofcompetencies has been emphasized in this research, identified as a gap in both engineering educationand research.Considering the research, and motivated to inform engineering education curricular design andimprovement at the University of Manitoba, an exploratory case study was designed in part toinvestigate how the CEAB graduate

Thislatter approach was the route taken by Illinois State University, a mid-size public university inNormal, Illinois. As a result, the university offered courses with a mix of course instructionalmodalities during the Fall 2020 semester.

support inthese three areas in a professional development program may contribute to improving STEMcurriculum design. Despite the rise in interest in integrated STEM education, there is little research on thequality of STEM curricular materials and professional development opportunities for teachers tosuccessfully integrate STEM. This study provides evidence for the impact of a professionaldevelopment program that aims to provide opportunities for teachers to explore STEMintegration and develop their own STEM units. Thus, the study findings have implications for thedesign of new STEM education professional development programs for teachers. First, teachersneed opportunities to learn new knowledge and skills to implement integrated

As these frameworks are familiar to most faculty in the US not leastbecause of ABET accreditation, they provide a common reference point for thinking aboutcomparable KSA frameworks for graduate programs, especially Ph.D. programs. This isfollowed by a survey of reports over the past decade calling for reform of the doctorate in theUS, Canada, UK, Europe, and Australia with a focus on being more explicit about developingbroader graduate attributes.

Previous scholars have noted that rubrics are more likely to produceerrors when they are redundant, have limited options for partial credit, have uneven intervalsbetween achievement levels, and exhibit inconsistencies in focus or form [15]. Rubrics mustalso avoid being excessively detailed or excessively general and should be bias-free, well-aligned with performance tasks, and written at an appropriate level for their users [16], [17].
