However, the impact of mobility is moderated by the industrysegment, suggesting that the significance of early career movements varies depending on thecontext.Within the context of boundaryless career theory, the scholars emphasized core competency-based perspectives underlining the knowledge-driven nature of faculty careers (Beigi et al.,2018).

Initially implemented as an emergency measure to address school closures,online modality has since been embraced by numerous higher education institutions due to itsinherent advantages [1, 13], which include enhanced flexibility, increased interactivity, and theability for students to pace their own learning.Historically, online engineering programs have faced skepticism, particularly due to concernsover the lack of hands-on lab experiences.

difficulties for a program offering distance learning revolve around one basic theme, getting students into the courses. 1) Conveying the program quality to the public: Distance learning has carried a stigma of poor educational value from the days of correspondence courses to today’s diploma mills. While the allure of a watered down program to get a quick buck is tempting for even traditionally strong academic institutions, especially in more trying economic times, it is becoming evident that a tradition of quality and value will stand the test of time. Students may complain about the amount, and rigor of work required to obtain a quality degree but they clearly value its significance. Programs these days need to beable to convey to the
