products they design and thepeople that will ultimately use them. Many of these choices are of a technical nature and theengineer's academic training has primed them for their resolution. However, others are of a moralor ethical sort without an apparent answer and academic training may not have adequatelyprepared new engineers for their solution. Little of the undergraduate engineering experience isdevoted to the potential moral, social, political, and economic issues they may encounter.Instead, they focus on the mathematics, physics, and engineering aspects of problem solving.Thus leaving a void in their preparation that should be addressed.The organization responsible for accrediting American undergraduate Engineering andEngineering Technology

undergraduate and graduate curriculum in INBM.In today’s evolving global manufacturing environment, there is a need to educateengineering students in emerging Information Technology (IT) concepts andtechnologies, which are revolutionizing product development practices. The emergenceof the Internet as a powerful communication vehicle has catalyzed the adoption of virtualengineering methods, which in turn have enabled organizations to become more agile. Inthis context, engineering students need to be knowledgeable in topics such as informationmodeling, distributed manufacturing and Internet based engineering. At New MexicoState University, several course modules dealing with these subjects have beenintroduced at the undergraduate senior and graduate
credit course work from a two-year technical or communitycollege to a four-year institution has historically been difficult for students. Engineering courseswith high levels of mathematics (Calculus) and science preparation often result in denial ofcourse credit transfers resulting in extended times to complete a baccalaureate degree.Individuals transferring from two-year to four-year institutions may be required to start theirengineering education over from the beginning. Transfer agreements designed to make it easy for students to transfer credits have existedbetween WCTC and Marquette University since 1995. The current agreement allows students tocomplete their first two years of electrical or mechanical engineering technology at WCTC

There are several studies showing growing challenges for graduates entering theworkforce (e.g. [14],[15], and with regards to practical and communications-related skills insoftware engineering, [19],[20]), and with the global recession from COVID-19 [16], studentsneed to come to the job market with a more well-rounded engineering education. In curricula, wehave often sidelined the graduate attributes related to the so-called “soft” skills ofcommunication
to self-efficacy (confident). Together,these represent a lifelong learning orientation. Although the original TLO tool was developed foruse by students in specific undergraduate courses [10], it is grounded in rich theory and builds oninstruments that have been modified for the workplace (e.g. [29]) and thus seems applicable toour work.5.1.2 Career EnablersAs described, a recurring theme in our data was “the benefits of lifelong learning formultidisciplinary work and innovation.” Engineering education literature focuses on the role oflifelong learning in keeping skillsets up-to-date in response to technological change [7] but this istypically conceptualized in relation to a disciplinary knowledge base. In addition to this role, weidentified

The overarching research question is: Whatsociocultural norms and lived experiences are dominant in the context of concept inventoryquestions?Literature ReviewConcept Inventories Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators and educationalresearchers commonly use concept inventories (CIs) to assess students’ conceptualunderstanding of foundational topics by asking students about the topics in everyday, out of theclassroom contexts [2], [5]. Globally CIs are used to assess students’ conceptual understandingof specific subject areas and study the effectiveness of curriculum
training, workforce development, and engineering education. Through these research topics, Raissa has been publishing papers for peer-reviewed journal and conference pro- ceedings.

The engineering faculty would like students to focus firston ‘what’ functions must the system perform to meet customer requirements or market needsthat is a solution to a particular problem. Usually, students are fixated on the ‘how’, applyingtheir particular and interesting technology without consideration to a particular market orcustomer needs. To continue and stress the importance of technical depth, several factors abouttechnical merit are provided for further assessment of student outcomes. Examples of selecteddeliverables by students from several projects and assessment tools are given to illustrate thesystem-level thinking.Keywordscapstone course, system
