online program is thecurriculum that must maintain the required academic rigor while address the unique challengesfacing both instructors and students in this new learning environment. These challenges includedeveloping “time management skills, being technologically prepared and computer literate,possessing good work ethics, being effective communicators and goal-oriented learners, ensuringacademic readiness, and fostering personal commitment, independence, andresponsibility” [13].Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide is one of the leading online universities in thecountry and had been ranked consistently either No. 1 or No. 2 among all institutions, private orpublic, in the annual U.

To meet suchchallenges, the educational system must also adapt to properly equip students with skills neededfor success.ABET, an accreditation agency for engineering programs, identifies that engineering curriculumsmust meet and educate students to be competent in a variety of outcomes that prepare graduatesfor professional practice [1]. Such outcomes and skills are listed under Criterion 3 of ABETwhich include but are not limited to: being efficient in identifying and solving complexproblems, producing effective solutions while considering influential factors, having effectivecommunication, recognizing ethical and professional responsibilities, functioningcollaboratively, drawing conclusions

I also found myself relieved to be back in the realm of applied research in sustainable development, as the dynamics of donors, benefactors, beneficiaries and their varying agendas in international service projects had caused me to lose much sleep over their ethical ramifications.

Discussions of these attributes strongly suggest that the engineer of thefuture must be able to work effectively with others on projects that require interdisciplinarythinking and skills.The goal of the P360 study is to identify and analyze the curricular, pedagogical, cultural, andorganizational features that support engineering education that appear to be aligned with thegoals of the Engineer of 2020.

A study of the impact of the implementation of the EC2000 accreditationcriteria on a nationally representative sample of engineering programs suggests, however, thatsome knowledge and skills have been more successfully integrated in the undergraduatecurriculum than others (Lattuca, Strauss, & Volkwein, 200626; Lattuca, Terenzini,& Volkwein,200627). Following EC2000, program chairs reported the greatest changes in emphasis incommunication, teamwork, societal contexts, and ethics, with 75 to 90% of chairs indicatingsome or significant increases in emphases on these topics. About 60% of chairs reported someor a significant increase on contemporary issues. Faculty members, who reported on a singlecourse that they regularly teach

transformation in doctoral STEM education, including the creationof professional, industry, and collaborative PhD programs, has been focused on preparingdoctoral students for industrial positions post-graduation (both in research and non-researchrelated fields) [7]. To enhance the employability of PhD holders outside of academia [7], manyprograms implemented seminars, courses, and training for developing ‘soft skills’ (e.g.,communication, teamwork, problem solving, critical and innovative thinking, creativity, self-confidence, ethical understanding, capacity of lifelong learning, the ability to cope withuncertainty [8]). While these interventions provide graduates of such PhD programs with certaintransferable skills, they fall short of deeply training

contribute to the mentor’s project.We created a Slack workspace for the SECURE program and individual channels for eachproject. This way, students could communicate easily with mentors and other students.Additionally, students wrote a brief weekly report, highlighting their work from the past week ina couple of paragraphs, and posted this in Slack for everyone to read. All students joined avirtual Zoom meeting each week to discuss professional development topics, includingcommunication, teamwork, design skills, research skills, ethics, innovation and creativity.Individual project groups also met in virtual meetings as needed to update one another andmentors. These meetings fostered open discussion of the project and development of new goals.As
