to consider human-centered design as an engineer. This shows engineering students theimmense ethical and communal responsibility of engineers in the field [3].ResultsOver the 11-week term student responses to process logs went from general identification ofsystemic issues and effects to specific exposition of personal experience and observation ofcourse content in the real world. Initially, students expressed understanding of broad, fuzzilyformed concepts. After practice teaming, their insight grew, and they began to identify as a partof the larger engineering community. They voiced ways they want to interact with the world andcomplex problems. They started to observe their place as first year and transfer students in thelarger university
accreditation body for engineeringprograms in the US, ABET, as well as researchers in the field. ASEE published several reportsdescribing the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed for future engineers, whichfocused heavily on non-technical professional skills (ASEE, 2013). Likewise, ABET has alsoindicated a strong importance on this type of skill development in its assessment of programs,with the updated Student Outcomes. Four out of the seven ABET outcomes focus on these skills,and those four are outlined below: “(3) an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (4) an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider
marks as a dependentvariable. Before collecting any data, ethical approval for the research was obtained from theUniversity of Ottawa’s office of research ethics and integrity review board. Participants wererecruited from the faculty of engineering at the University of Ottawa. To qualify for the research,students had to be registered at an introductory engineering design course that was offeringstudents an authentic learning experience. The courses were part of a faculty effort to integratemaking projects and activities to the engineering curricula. The courses’ learning environmentprovided students hands-on, team-based introduction to engineering design where they mustwork with a client from the local community to devise an engineering
students rated most skill areas as more relevant totheir future work than their present course of study. In a similar perspective, the study in thispaper measured engineering students’ perceptions of leadership skills from the 3 categories ofpersonal, professional, and present course of study.Leadership skills have been identified by industry and higher education through a series ofreviews and surveys. Some of the skills highlighted by industry and higher education asimportant to leadership are empathy and self-awareness, ethical conduct, appreciation of culturaldiversity, work effectively in teams, and communication skills [3], [18]. The lecture topics forthe study in this paper directly align with the leadership skills identified as important by
thread contains outcomes related to communication, ethics, social justice, leadership, and teamwork. Professionalism encompasses fundamental skills necessary to communicate effectively with a wide range of audiences and make ethical and just decisions in the practice of their profession. Professionalism thus also includes development of virtues and leadership characteristics. The professionalism thread acknowledges that students develop as professionals over time and with repeated exposure to professional concepts and multiple opportunities to practice and reflect. The systems thinking thread encompasses the skills and behaviors desired of a graduate that will lead them to make design decisions that incorporate
their privileged peers.Impacts on studentsUltimately, as a result of the changes, our students developed more expert-like skills related todesigning [43-46], more sophisticated ethical reasoning [47, 48], improved collaboration skills[44, 49], and all without having a negative impact on conceptual learning. Our longitudinalanalysis suggests that our approach has fostered persistence, especially among first-generationLatinx students, in part because of a focus on students’ assets [50, 51].Offer limited but specific feedback on writing and require revision and reflectionAn emergent approach in our project was focusing on teaching technical writing.

Moreover, our study follows the ethical considerationsadopted by other researchers to conduct social media analysis of users' posts [15]–[17]. To analyzequalitative aspects, we conducted a manual thematic analysis [18]. We developed the codes usingan empirical bottom-up approach based on grounded theory [19]. In our initial analysis of theposts, we identified the codes. We also used human coding to extract a codebook, including topicsabout work-related concerns among Neurodiverse users. The code identification is based on priorwork related to social media analysis [10], [15], [20], [21]5. ResultsBased

According to the Council on Undergraduate Research, undergraduate research isdefined as “an inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes anoriginal intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline” [1]. As stated in literature, studentswho engage in undergraduate research show improvements in thinking independently, thinkingcritically, putting ideas together, solving problems, patience analyzing and interpreting data,analyzing literature, conducting ethical research, writing, and communicating [2-10]. Studentsinvolved in undergraduate research also report outcomes that may translate to post-graduationsuccess. For

[22] exploredhow summer camps provided an environment for students to bond with their peers and withfaculty while developing their professional skills. The result suggested the importance of co-curricular activities on students’ persistence and success as a long-term effect [22].

Prospective students must complete an on-demand, self-paced course on policy regarding cheating, ethical behavior, and integrity in assessment, whether proctored or not, as a prerequisite for admission. 3. Orientation seminars should be organized for university, college, and department freshmen, with instructors emphasizing the repercussions of cheating on the first day of class. 4. Assessments with a high risk of cheating should be low stakes, but students must understand that cheating is not worth the effort, despite the low stakes. 5. Instead of individual instructors

Thisstudy focused on two key competencies; collaboration and problem-solving that are essential inthe field of construction engineering, both in academic and professional contexts [17], [19]. Tosucceed in today's world, construction professionals and graduates need a range of competencies.These include a strong technical foundation of construction skills, an awareness of ethical issues,good problem-solving skills, leadership abilities, an understanding of safety issues, andcollaborative skills [23].

For instance, previous research providesinsights into the ethical considerations (Venkatesh et al., 2022) and interdisciplinaryperspectives of engineering education (Yeter et al., 2023), which could inform future researchon the psychological factors influencing career decisions in these fields. In addition, furtherresearch can explore the impact of various forms of support, such as mentorship andprofessional development courses, on engineering students’ career decision-making (Rathoreet al., 2016). Such studies could provide insights into the effectiveness
thatfor construction school graduates to be ready to enter the workforce, they should be equippedwith hard skills (technical) and soft skills (non-technical) that enable them to apply theirknowledge directly in the work setting.”One study [4] identified twelve separate clusters of soft skills relevant to the constructionindustry were identified and include skills associated with; communications, problem-solving,conflict management, collaboration, stress management, professionalism, productivity, ethics,diversity, planning and organizing, self-awareness, and interpersonal relationships. Anotherstudy [7] reported that the most important soft skills for job seeking, as identified by students,were positive attitude, oral communication, self

Building on this, Burt et al.(2021) propose a new model of wholeness in graduate advising based on an ethic of care. Thefocus on wholeness directs attention to the need to recognize black male students as wholepersons, including the influence of family (Brooms & Davis, 2017; Tolbert Smith, 2022). Forexample, Tolbert Smith (2022) shows that black families and extended family members providedblack men’s primary sources of support, although black men also benefited from bi-directionalexchange of cultural capital when navigating non-inclusive environments.

Mostengineering programs define the core of engineering curricula as mathematics, science,engineering analysis, and design; however, students need more than just technical skills [2]. In2004, the National Academy of Engineering indicated that engineering graduates need to beprepared to address the complex technical, social, and ethical questions raised by emergingtechnologies [3]. In addition, at a recent department Industry Advisory Council (IAC) meeting,professional engineers indicated that entry-level engineers from our university have the technicalskills, but need further training in interpersonal and professional skills.
