designed to developR&D-oriented skills through a multi-year learning trajectory [3]. They identified 14 key skillsneeded for research and development, with a strong emphasis on following the scientific method,including formulating research questions and hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting data,and drawing appropriate conclusions. They analyzed how each skill was taught through thecurriculum and concluded that project work and laboratories were especially important atreinforcing these skills. Finally, Gross et al. investigated a guided inquiry activity to preparestudents for careers in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, specifically focusing onhelping students relate their knowledge and experiences to business needs

Purpose of the Study As this study was conducted in Singapore, the location and demographics of thestudy differed greatly from previous studies on the same topic, which were generally held inthe United States of America. Singapore is a diverse, multicultural society. Hence, one canexpect a range of different experiences from different people and groups and, thus, a largevariety of methods that were learned. Many Singaporeans are not encouraged or motivated topursue an engineering or science major as they may believe other career options offer betterjob prospects. They may also believe they are not intelligent enough to pursue education inscience-related fields (Begum, 2019). Moreover

The authors communicated with faculty members with the intentionof understanding the needs and challenges of the incoming cohort, which included: • Difficulty realizing when they are in trouble. • Not asking for assistance. • Weak study habits and learning networks. • Lack of time management skills. • Lack of involvement in engineering activities, organizations, or research. • Lack of intentionality in planning for academic resume building and future career

summer of2022, several major airlines in the United States canceled a record number of scheduled flights orran delayed due to the same reason [1]. A unique approach adopted by the airlines to address thischallenge is to look for non-traditional sources such as retired military and veteran rotary wingpilots. This led to a growing shortage of helicopter pilots in the medical transport and offshore oilsupport industries [2]. This challenge also opens new opportunities and career pathways forveterans. Additionally, special training and experience requirements for certificated flightinstructors (CFIs) to be able to provide flight instruction in the Robinson R22 and R44 variantsmake it cost-prohibitive for most military helicopter instructors to

While minor degrees are not novel, it was found that the programminghad to be linked to something of recognizable/tangible value to students. Through student and advisorinterviews, it was found that advising programs are automated to direct students toward “checking boxes”for a plan of study without consideration of the nuances of different types of learning opportunities. Themain goal of pursuing higher education for students is to essentially receive credentials that have value forfuture careers. So, it is important to understand the degree planning systems and use them to enablestudents to get more out of
