Students that indicated positive response (27% of studentsindicated readiness; 6 out of 22 responses) are already working at some level in industry and twoothers indicated “may be” depending upon the role.Moreover, a similar percentage of positive and negative responses are identified in the rest of thequestions. However, when asked about “Digital Twin” 95% of students (21 out of 22 responses)indicated they had never heard of this term and/or have no knowledge of it. One student thatindicated he heard the term also commented “don’t know much about it.” Figure 4 shows thestudents self-rating on their knowledge on Digital twin, Industry 4.0

However, the procedure was oneway; to incorporate feedback in the procedure, some additional questions can be introduced.Therefore, to improve learning, video exercise can be paired.The mentioned course is now offered for four different programs. Because the number ofstudents in the class is relatively large compared to higher level courses, the interaction with allstudents beyond the classes is challenging for an instructor. However, the interaction is importantfor most students since success for the remaining semesters and in their career depends on thesolid foundation in this basic course. The survey results

Non-technical skills were commonlyidentified as the differentiator in hiring decisions for both recent graduates and experiencedemployees.Other programs and institutions are strongly encouraged to survey alumni and non-alumniprofessionals to obtain industry perspectives on curricular matters. Future work may include theinclusion of members of professional organizations as a group to be surveyed—it is unknown ifongoing continuing education activities would affect industry responses.

. Due to the complex and multidisciplinary nature of their projects, engineeringstudents must learn how to work effectively on a team, as the majority will be expected to workas part of a team after graduation. The projects that they will face during both their academic andpost-academic careers will involve problem-solving and critical thinking, and the unique skillsand perspectives of each team member are necessary to arrive at effective solutions. This paperintroduces a pedagogical boardgame aimed at simulating arguments within an engineeringexercise, as well as the study planned to track the changes.A diverse team has people with different backgrounds, experience, and ways of thinking.

If a student is able to master all the fundamental skills, they will have a C- and they willpass the class as shown in Table 2. While students who only pass the fundamental skills may notget as much practice with the essential and advanced skills, they will still be exposed to theseskills on instruction days and through homework and laboratory exercises. By achieving masteryon the fundamental skills, students should have a full understanding of these topics which theycan apply to future engineering courses.

The cancellation of outreachprograms, summer camps, and the complete pivot to online/remote instructions greatly reducedaccess to hands-on STEM curriculum and closed outreach avenues for the university. In particular,faculty and staff were concerned with the impacts of school closures on STEM opportunities fortraditionally under-represented groups.
